White Scars - Specialist Ranks: Khagan - In the Chogorian language known as Khorchin, Khagan literally means "Khan of Khans", a sacred title and rank solely reserved for and bestowed upon the White Scars Primarch, Jaghatai Khan.Noyan-Khan - A bygone rank within the White Scars Legion of old, these senior commanders were in charge of separate ordu; divisional-size formations known as "hordes" within the ancient White Scars Legion, sometimes comprised of up to twenty brotherhoods (companies). The noyan-khans had several khans subordinate to their overall command, each of whom commanded the individual brotherhoods of a given ordu. Each noyan-khan was charged with the command and control of these ordu, and like their genetic forebear, were allowed certain freedoms and the command autonomy required to conduct campaigns as they saw fit.Great Khan - In the 41st Millennium, the title of Great Khan is the formal title given to the Chapter Master of the White Scars. He is chosen from amongst the commanding Khans of the Chapter's brotherhoods by a secret process of physical, mental and spiritual trials overseen by the Chapter's Storm Seers.Khan - A khan is the Space Marine officer who commands an entire White Scars brotherhood (company), and is essentially the Chapter's version of a standard Space Marines company Captain. Like the Great Khan, the Chapter's Khans are chosen by its Stormseers, who oversee a series of physical, mental and spiritual trials when a vacancy opens to determine which of the White Scars' battle-brothers is worthy of being elevated to command the fellows of his Brotherhood.Master of the Hunt - The Master of the Hunt is an honourific title unique to the White Scars Chapter. The current Master of the Hunt is Kor'sarro Khan, Captain of the White Scars' 3rd Brotherhood and the 51st individual to hold the title. The Master of the Hunt is charged with tracking down those rare enemies of the Chapter who have managed to evade destruction at the hands of the White Scars. No enemy is allowed to escape and live and so the Master of the Hunt is charged with hunting those foes and bringing their heads back to the White Scars lands on their homeworld of Chogoris. The High Chaplain then brands the eyes from the head and it is masked in silver and stuck on a spear along the road to the White Scars' Fortress-Monastery. The White Scars are patient and while some enemies may elude death for centuries they will all eventually be hunted down and their heads brought back to Chogoris. Kor'sarro Khan has already proven himself quite proficient and has tracked down such foes as the Daemon Prince Kernax Voldorius and the Eldar pirate lord Varaliel. The Master of the Hunt incorporates ancient but potent symbols of his office; Moondrakkan and Moonfang. Moondrakkan is a master-crafted Assault Bike originally commissioned by the 4th Master of the Hunt, and has been lovingly maintained down through the centuries. The other item granted to the Master of the Hunt by the Chapter is the ancient Power Sword called Moonfang. This relic of the White Scars Chapter is currently wielded by Kor'sarro Khan and has slain the most terrible of foes no matter how mighty they may be.Keshig - The personal Honour Guard of the Great Khan and his subordinate commanders during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras was known as the Keshig. The Keshig were an elite cadre of warriors made up of the most veteran and skilled Legionaries to be found in the Vth Legion who all served as the Legion's elite Terminators. The Keshig was once described as "a whole phalanx of giants in bone-white Terminator plate".Stormseers - The Zadyin Arga or "Stormseers" of the White Scars perform the same functions as other Chapters' cadre of Librarians, though the Stormseers emerge from the deeply-ingrained mystical traditions of the tribal shamans and holy men who rode the plains of Chogoris with their Primarch Jaghatai Khan before the coming of the Emperor to Chogoris. Since the time before their Chapter's inception, when they were the shamans who first named Jaghatai Khan the Great Khan of the nomadic tribes, the Storm Seers have been called upon to continue to induct Neophytes and newly elevated Khans of their Chapter. Every 10 summers, the Storm Seers venture down into the steppes to observe the tribes and their battles, picking only the best and bravest warriors and returning them to Quan Zhou to become Space Marines. When a Great Khan is lost on the field of battle, it are the Storm Seers who are called upon to decide who his successor will be to lead the Chapter. The Storm Seers will then retreat to the caves of the steep peaks of the Khum Katra Mountains of Chogoris. There, brotherhood khans present themselves to be tested and scrutinised by the Storm Seers. The process and trials used by the Storm Seers to test and approve who the next Great Khan will be is unknown. Few candidates survive the arduous process, and those that do to become the next Great Khan will never speak of the trials they endured. The other responsibilities of the Storm Seer include teaching Aspirants the core beliefs of their Chapter. They firmly believe it is the manifest duty of the White Scars to destroy the enemies of the Imperium, awaiting the day that that Emperor will rise again, signaling the return of their lost Primarch and the beginning of the next Great Crusade to unify all of humanity. The Storm Seers believe that their powers are connected to the animistic spirits of the land and the air, and that as long as these natural forces fight alongside them, the White Scars will always be victorious. These elemental, animistic beliefs and the highly stylized Force Staffs used by Storm Seers tie these warrior-mystics to their shamanistic past on the steppes of Chogoris.Emchi - Emchi is the name given by the White Scars in the Chogorian dialect to their Chapter's Apoethecaries.Sagyar Mazan - The people of Chogoris are possessed of great wisdom and capable of deep compassion, but these characteristics are tempered by a fierce and uncompromising sense of justice that can lead them to acts of catastrophic failure which are rewarded with death, delivered by the hand of a warrior's superior. Occasionally, however, this punishment might be commuted to exile by a merciful leader sympathetic of mitigating circumstances. Those exiled from their brotherhood are known as "penitents," or the Sagyar Mazan, and it is their fate to seek out an honourable death and in so doing, wash away any stain of dishonour.
