White Scars - Heresy Era Personnel: Jaghatai Khan - Primarch of the White Scars. Jaghatai fought alongside his sons of the White Scars for another 70 standard years following the end of the Horus Heresy, eventually disappearing into a region of space known as the Maelstrom, a large Warp rift in the Ultima Segmentum that is a somewhat smaller counterpart of the Eye of Terror. Jaghatai is believed to have been in pursuit of the Drukhari who had savaged Chogoris following the Battle of Corusil V with his 1st Brotherhood when he went through a portal into the Drukhari portion of the Webway, ultimately vanishing forever. This mighty Drukhari lord was likely the Archon of the Kabal that had attacked Corusil V and perhaps even Chogoris itself during the chaos of the Horus Heresy. Jaghatai Khan has not been seen since, though the White Scars believe he is still alive somewhere within the Webway and will one day return to the Chapter in a time of great need. As a result of their Primarch's disappearance, the White Scars hold a particularly savage grudge against the Dark Eldar and will gladly seek out any opportunity to make war upon those savage and terrifying xenos.Qin Xa - Qin Xa was a senior warrior of the White Scars and commander of the primarch's personal elite honour guard of Terminators known as the Keshig. An exceptional warrior even before he became a White Scar, Qin Xa fought alongside Jaghatai Khan during their youth on Chogoris. 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. He was one of the first natives to be inducted from Chogoris into the newly renamed White Scars Legion after Jaghatai Khan was reunited with the Vth Legion and his father the Emperor of Mankind. Though few outside the Vth Legion have spoken of Qin Xa's prowess, it was often described within the records of the White Scars 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 loyal to his master, Qin Xa was known to question the decisions of the Khagan on occasion and actively encouraged those within the Keshig to question him too, to ensure that they never became followers of the primarch through blind faith. Though Terminator Armour was often eschewed within the White Scars, cumbersome as it was, Qin Xa was one of the few who actively preferred its bulk. Despite the weight of his Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour, his skill as a deft warrior was not dulled in any way, wielding the twin blades known as the Tails of the Dragon with consummate skill. Two standard years into the Horus Heresy, Qin Xa battled against the Traitors at Peressimar, helping to drive them off that Imperial world and achieving a great victory. Fours standard years in, Qin Xa took part in the raid at Kalium where he fought Lord Commander Primus Eidolon of the Emperor's Children atop the ancient Human relic known as the Kalium Gate. During the battle Qin Xa was nearly killed, but was saved by the timely intervention of the Loyalist Thousand Sons Revuel Arvida using his psychic powers. The mortally wounded White Scar was taken back aboard the White Scars' flagship Lance of Heaven to be tended to. Though deeply wounded, Arvida spoke to Qin Xa telepathically, who expressed his fear to the Thousand Sons that the Khagan would blame him for the failure. Arvida assured him that Ilya Ravallion, a Departmento Munitorum bureaucrat and close advisor and friend to the primarch, offered the White Scars another path to reach Terra, and that Qin Xa's sacrifice would lead to ultimate victory. After this reassurance, Qin Xa died from his many wounds, and passed into the legends of the White Scars.Hasik Noyan-Khan - A Chogoris-born warrior, Hasik fought alongside Jaghatai Khan in his youth and was one of the first to be inducted into the newly renamed White Scars Legion after the Emperor was reunited with His long-lost son. A senior member of the Great Khan's command staff, Hasik was granted the honour of being a Noyan-Khan, commanding one of the largest ordus (divisions) of the Legion that consisted of 20 brotherhoods during the Great Crusade and opening days of the Horus Heresy. Hasik was later to be revealed to be a secret member of the Warrior Lodges that permeated the entirety of the White Scars Legion, and played an instrumental role in seizing the Legion's flagship in order to sway the Primarch to join Horus' cause during the opening days of the Horus Heresy. Enraged at Hasik's betrayal, the Khagan drew his dao Power Sword and rammed it through Hasik's midsection, impaling him upon his blade and seriously wounding the commander. Afterwards Hasik was taken into confinement until the Khagan could determine a suitable punishment for the Noyan-Khan's perfidy. Hasik's ultimate fate is not known.Jemulan Noyan-Khan - A Terran-born White Scar, Jemulan had darker skin than most of the Terrans inducted into the White Scars, the legacy of his roots in the Palatine's old domains of the Empty Quarter. He was a senior commander charged with leading one of the White Scars' ordus (divisions) known as the Horde of the Earth, which consisted of many brotherhoods during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. When Shiban Khan of the Brotherhood of the Storm first discovered the cancer of the Warrior Lodges at the heart of the Vth Legion, he brought this to the attention of Jemulan, who either was unwilling or unable to do anything about it, and dismissed the younger Khan's accusations out of hand. During the planned takeover of the Legion's fleet at Prospero, Jemulan and his Terminator-armoured keshig bodyguard teleported aboard the bridge of the Legion's flagship during a pivotal moment of the insurrection, and played an instrumental role in restoring order within the ranks. Jemulan's ultimate fate is not known.Goghal Khan - Goghal was a commander of Hasik Noyan-Khan's keshig bodyguard during the Great Crusade and the opening days of the Horus Heresy. Goghal was also a secret member of the traitorous Warrior Lodges within the White Scars Legion. He took part in the insurrection to take control of the Legion's vessels while Jaghatai Khan was searching for the whereabouts of his missing brother Magnus upon the recently devastated world of Prospero. When the Great Khan was returned to his flagship and his commander was struck down, Goghal willingly surrendered and went into confinement to await his deserved fate for the role he played in the internecine conflict. Goghal's ultimate fate is unknown.Hibou Khan - Hibou was the commander of an unnamed brotherhood of the White Scars Legion during the Great Crusade and the opening days of the Horus Heresy. Hibou was also secretly a member of the warrior lodges that existed within the White Scars Legion. He took part in the insurrection to take control of the Legion's vessels while the Great Khan was searching for the whereabouts of his missing brother Magnus upon the recently devastated world of Prospero. When the Great Khan returned to his flagship and his commander was struck down, Hibou willingly went into confinement to await the Great Khan's judgement and his deserved fate for the role he played in the internecine conflict. Later, Hibou returned to service and attempted to rehabilitate himself, leading White Scars forces against the Sons of Horus and badly wounding Horus Aximand in the Battle of Dwell. He became part of the Loyalist crew of the captured Sons of Horus destroyer Grey Talon under the command of Iron Hands Sergeant Bion Henricos.Jubal Khan (KIA) - Jubal was a notable khan of an unnamed brotherhood of the White Scars Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. He was known as the "Lord of Summer Lightning" and the "Death That Comes with Summer Laughter." Originally born on Terra in the late 30th Millennium to the name Luthian, Jubal first commanded the Legion's Brotherhood of the Summer Lightning. At the time of the Chondax Campaign, Jubal had been away from the bulk of his Legion, instead commanding a great Ikhan ("hunt") beyond the galactic plane against the Mjordhainn xenos. However at some time in the four standard years after the Second Battle of Prospero, he was recalled to the main body of the White Scars by Jaghatai Khan. Upon his return, Jubal was offered by Jaghatai the honour of replacing the slain Qin Xa as master of the Legion's elite Keshig. Jubal refused this honour, but accepted a second offer from the Khagan to become the first White Scar to hold the office of the Master of the Hunt. During the subsequent Solar War to defend the Sol System from Horus' Traitors, Jubal Khan commanded White Scars vessels from the battleship Lance of Heaven as it engaged the fleet of Ezekyle Abaddon and the Word Bearers commander Zardu Layak above the Sol System's disc. Wielding a Power Guandao, Jubal engaged Abaddon directly in a zero-gravity duel on the Lance of Heaven. However, despite his fierce resistance, Jubal was eventually slain by Abaddon and the Lance of Heaven was destroyed.Shang Khan - Shang Khan was the commander of the White Scars' 7th Chapter during the latter days of the Great Crusade. Shang Khan transferred stewardship of the world of Sarosh to the Dark Angels Legion shortly before the onset of the Horus Heresy.Shiban Khan - Shiban was the Chogoris-born khan (captain) of the Brotherhood of the Storm during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. He is known to have served during the famous Chondax Campaign against the remnants of the notorious Ork Overlord Urrlak Urruk. During the opening days of the Horus Heresy, Shiban discovered a plot amongst the Warrior Lodge members within the Legion to take over the White Scars' fleet and ally themselves with cause of the traitorous Warmaster Horus. Shiban led his brotherhood in the boarding action of their Legion's flagship and played an instrumental role in rescuing their Primarch Jaghatai Khan from the surface of the devastated world of Prospero during a pivotal point in the internecine fighting.Torghun Khan - Torghun was a Terran-born Khan (Captain) of the Brotherhood of the Moon company during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, Torghun was known to have fought during the famous Chondax Campaign against the remnants of the notorious Ork Overlord Urrlak Urruk. His company fought alongside the Brotherhood of the Storm, commanded by Shiban Khan. The two Khans formed a bond of friendship in the heat of battle, both learning from one another's opposing styles of leadership. Torghun was known to be a secret member of the Warrior Lodges that permeated the entirety of the White Scars Legion. He was a co-conspirator in the plot to take control of the Legion's fleet and steer their Primarch towards their viewpoint that they should ally themselves with the Warmaster Horus and his cause. During the ensuing internecine conflict, Torghun surrendered when the Khagan was teleported back aboard his flagship and ended the infighting amongst his gene-progeny. He willingly went into confinement with his commander Hasik Noyan-Khan and his co-conspirators Hibou and Goghal Khan to await the judgement of the Great Khan. Torghun's ultimate fate is unknown.Targutai Yesugei - Yesugei was the chief of the White Scars Stormseers (Zadyin Arga) during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. Yesugei had fought alongside the primarch in his youth upon the world of Chogoris. Yesugei was a junior Stormseer of the White Scars Legion when he presented the Council of Nikaea with a third option in regards to the use of psychic abilities and the maintenance or abolition of the established Space Marine Legions' Libraria. He explained that there was nothing inherently evil about a Librarian. If such a gifted individual was properly trained in order to obtain the greatest results, like any weapon, he could be still be used, but with respect and not indiscriminately. Yesugei argued that human psykers should be trained rigorously to take advantage of their innate abilities in order to assist the Imperium in completing its galaxy-wide spanning conquest. With such an elite cadre of trained psychic specialists utterly loyal to the Emperor, the galaxy could be brought back into the Imperial fold with ease. Yesugei also argued that psychic sorcery should be strictly forbidden, since in dealing with the entities of the Warp, the ever-present risk of corruption was simply too great to be avoided. This position would later be vindicated in the wake of the Horus Heresy and would become the default policy of the Imperium towards psykers during the later Age of the Imperium.
