Go for something narrative - For my Dark Angels, I have Erasmus, a Delgatus who is responsible for leading boarding parties. He is heavily modified- he lost a leg and both armies in void combat. He is armed with a combi flamer and power fist. His story is that he was a young knight from Caliban who’s rise in the ranks ended aboard the Prison of Darkness, a Night Lord flagship. While the ship was crippled when his company detonated their void torpedos, it was able to limp away at the start of the Thramas Crusade. When the main fleet found him and the remainder of his Company, the Lion was upset that he failed to bring down the ship. Erasmus was crippled and forced to take on multiple bionic limbs, an eye, and wears his scars as a reminder of his failure. For him, I’ve given him an extra order in the assault phase and made him a member of the Firewing as he is charged with taking out enemy command formations. Since the rebuke from his Primarch, Luther attempted to mentor him but he does not follow or have similar ideals as Luther. He only seeks vengeance against the Night Lords.
You could name him Septkah, a Company Champion who is armed with a Parragon Blade. If you can paint it to look like a frost blade, you can say he survived Prospero by killing one of the Wolf King’s champions (or a custodian). That he enjoys hunting the sons of Russ and in the aftermath of Prospero is looking for vengeance against the Emperor and those loyal to him. When Magnus saved his Legion, many of his Company were scattered. He and the remnants of his Company strike and harass the servants of the Emperor while looking for lost members of their Company.
