Name: Primus Num'raul
Race: Cabal
Class: Centurion
Weapons: -Slug rifle(Wrist mounted) -Sharryx's demise -Solar grenade
Armor: -Cabal war helm laced with Hive bones -Cabal war plate laced with Hive bones, with a Hive knight skull pauldron -Cabal war greaves, laced with Hive bones. -Cabal war boots, laced Hive bones.
Appearance: -At fist glance he may appear to be adorned with your average every day Cabal Primus armor. But a closer look will reveal that his armor his decorated with trophies claimed from battling a splinter fleet of Oryx's armada out in the edge of the solar system. Much of his armor has dents, and void burns around it kept around only due to a lack of supplies out in deep space. But what is truly the biggest scar of the all is that half of skull has been replaced with a cybernetic implant, constructed by his most skilled psions with pieces of the Glaciem Malleus itself melted down to provide a suitable shell. The primus required the need to have such an implant after his arch enemy, Primus Ma'carn, nearly destroyed half of his skull with his powerful arc hammer during a fateful battle in the orbit of Europa. (God Emperor, vs Horus.)
Personality: -After having half of his skull removed along with parts of his original brain, being substituted with neural implant devices, it if of no doubt that the Primus himself has had his sanity slowly degrading ever since his fateful injury. But, what furthered his degrading sanity was his campaign against the Taken armies around the orbits of Jupiter at the edge of the solar system. During this conflict he was forced to fight his own corrupted brethren, with much of the legion's original size being reduced to a fraction of what it once was the primus blamed himself for such losses. It did not help that much of his old command structure had staged multiple attempted mutiny's against him, once their faith in his leadership had been eroded away by time spent out in the void of space. After facing all of this the Primus has been reduced to a paranoid, bitter,and cruel leader who will accept nothing less that undying loyalty, and fanatical devotion from those beneath him.
Bio: After the Fallen house of Storms had raided a Cabal warzone on Mars, Primus Num'raul was tasked with their destruction. With the aid of their brethren legion the Storm Juggernauts, led by their primus Ma'carn, they were able to beat back the Fallen into a corner ready to deal the death blow with their ketch out of the way for good, and their forces routed. It was then that Nu'mraul discovered that Ma'carn had struck a deal with a fireteam of guardians to help the legions defeat the Fallen on the frigid world.(Heh chaos gods) Seeing that Ma'carn had been conspiring with enemies of the Cabal empire, Num'raul branded him a traitor and mobilized his forces to eliminate any under his command, as well as Ma'carn himself. As the legion's attentions turned on each other, a large battle ensued on the ground and in the space above Europa. Land tanks stormed across the icy tundra in attempt to siege the firebase of the traitors, while the fleets of the two primusi engaged above. As the firebase was evacuated much of the land tanks were destroyed in rupturing of the glacier as the ice split in two, many machines were sucked into it's maw never to be seen again. In orbit the battle raged on as Num'raul ordered his legionares to board the flagship of the Storm Juggernauts, the Vita Extinctor IX.(Blood angles and the emperor board Horus's flagship) The boarding teams inflicted much damage upon the flagship but were ultimately beaten back as their leader, Num'raul, was struck down by the skill of Ma'carn.(Sanguine is killed by Horus) If it were not for the intervention of the psion flayer Xeros, primus Num'rual would not have survived that battle. Only the primus, and the psion rescue team was able to escape the Vita Exctinctor and retreat back to the Glaciem Malleus. As Ice Hammers had sustained heavy casualties, not to mention the damage Glaciem Malleus has suffered, they were forced to retreat into the void of space. For years they were presumed dead by the Cabal high command, and there was no doubt in Num'raul's mind that Ma'carn had poisoned the minds of the high command into believing his actions were justified. So the legion drifted aimlessly in space endlessly trying to sustain the life of their primus with a life support system designed by Xeros himself. Eventually, Num'raul was revived once the psions were able to construct his implant and salvage what was left of his skull. But, just as the legion rejoiced in the revival of their true leader the Hive descended upon them.
A splinter fleet of the main armada of Oryx they say encountered the fractured legion over the orbit of Jupiter. The campaign lasts several months as they attempted to board the flagship of the Hive knight known simply as Sharryx the devourer. For weeks, and weeks the firing of broadsides and slug rifles never ceased until the ammunition had run dry. In their desperation they crafted a multitude of swords, axes, and spears from the decaying hull of the Glaciem Malleus itself. Num'raul fancied himself a mace which he would later use to slay Sharryx, but until then the Ice Hammers were left with no ammo and variety of fuel-less vehicles. In a bold attempt to win the battle the Ice Hammers boarded the flagship of the Hive, though not with conventional boarding pods, but with the Glaciem Malleus itself. They rammed at top speed into the broadside of the Hive ship, the craft tore through the hull of the flagship giving an opening for the legionares of the Ice Hammers to thrust pack their way into the dark corridors of the Hive vessel. As the battle raged on Num'raul eventually slew the Knight champion Sharryx, its soul became infused to his mace giving the weapon a much darker power, and potency in combat. Eventually the rest of the fleet sent the rest of their usable harvesters to evacuate the legionares as they prepared to detonate the Glaciem Malleus as it was lodged inside of the Hive ship. The NLS was rigged to explode along with the reactor, and several unused tactical warheads. The result was devastating with much of the Hive fleet being obliterated as they closed in to support the main flagship, even the fleeing Cabal craft had just narrowly escaped the blast and were hit with large energy surge. The effects of which would not be noticed later.
It came to Nu'raul's attention that the Hive fleet he had just destroyed was part of a much bigger fleet. Sensing a shot at redemption, and a chance to spare the lives of countless Cabal soldiers he set a course for Mars. To their horror the NLS drives powering the fleet had cut out around two thirds of the way to Mars, no doubt due to the energy surge they'd suffered earlier. So the legion waited in cryro sleep endlessly hoping to emerge on Mars in about a few hours, little did they know that it would be years before they ever entered the atmosphere of Mars.
Side Notes: -Sharrxy's demise is mace glowing with green fire, and darkness. The bone heart of the champion has been embedded into the center of the handle, and its soul as been absorbed into the weapon by unknown means. It shatters the minds of its targets once it strikes them, not only breaking bone, but breaking their minds as well.
(I hope you guys don't plan on stating the action without me.)
