Keshig - Notable Members of the Keshig: Qin Xa - Qin Xa was one of the Great Khan's most trusted advisors and, as such, commanded the venerated Keshig in battle. His sworn duty to protect his primarch saw him lead the Keshig through many hunts, earning ever greater glory in the name of the Khagan. An exceptional warrior even before he became a White Scar, Qin Xa fought alongside Jaghatai Khan during their youth on Chogoris. Qin Xa would be one of the first members of the Khagan's Keshig to be inducted from Chogoris into the newly renamed White Scars Legion, after his primarch was reunited with the V Legion and the Emperor of Mankind. Qin Xa was frequently described by his primarch as one of the most formidable warriors of the Legion, having mastered the art of the hunt at a young age and bringing such skills to bear by the primarch's side during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy that was to follow. Though few outside of the Legion spoke of Qin Xa's prowess, it was often described within the records of the Legion that he took to the battlefield as a force of nature, with a fury and strength behind his aggression that, while apparently barbaric, was tempered by a keen intelligence and an innate sense for the ebb and flow of battle. Though known for his absolute loyalty to his master, Qin Xa often questioned the decisions of the Khagan and actively encouraged those within the Keshig to question him too, to ensure that they never became followers blind in faith. Qin Xa was one of the few White Scars to actively prefer Terminator Armour, which allowed him to wield the Tails of the Dragon, two Dao-style Power Swords, with greater skill and power. Two Terran years after the start of the Horus Heresy, Qin Xa fought the Traitors at Peressimar, winning a great victory and reclaiming control of that world. Four years after the start of the Horus Heresy, Qin Xa was part of a raid on Kalium where he fought Lord Commander Eidolon of the Emperor's Children Legion at the Kalium Gate, a massive void installation many times larger than a star fort that defended a strategic Mandeville Point. Qin Xa was rescued from near certain death during the Battle of the Kalium Gate by the use of Revuel Arvida's psychic abilities. He was returned to the White Scars battleship Lance of Heaven to be treated for his critical wounds. While in the end it was determined that Qin Xa was mortally injured, he spoke to Arvida telepathically to express his fear that Jaghatai would blame himself for the failure of their raid. Arvida assured him that Ilya Ravallion, a Departmento Munitorum bureaucrat assigned to the service of the V Legion, offered the White Scars a path to return to Terra using the Dark Glass artefact, and that his sacrifice would lead to ultimate victory for the Loyalists. Qin Xa died soon after of his wounds.Namahi - Namahi was a consummate warrior who served as a second to Qin Xa and as a deputy of the elite Keshig. Following the death of his commander and the refusal of the honour by Jubal Khan, Namahi was made commander of the Keshig.Goghal Khan - Goghal Khan was a Terran-born member of the White Scars Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy era. Goghal was the commander of Keshig bodyguard of Hasik Noyan-Khan. Goghal proved more loyal to Hasik than to his own primarch, foolishly siding with him and the Terran-born members of the Warrior Lodge and their conspiracy to have the V Legion side with the Arch-Traitor Horus. However, when the plan failed, following Jaghatai Khan's return from the Thousand Sons' homeworld of Prospero following the Second Battle of Prospero, Goghal willingly surrendered himself and was taken into custody.
