Timur Leng

Timur Leng was the Captain of the 4th Chapter of the Western Horde of the Dune Serpents up to the Third Ruin. He was renowned even before the Ruins for his ruthlessness, deceitfulness and love of use of proscribed weapons. Under his leadership, the 4th Chapter developed enlarged destroyer companies, and the group that would later become the Viper Fangs was born out of these. When the Third Ruin occurred, Timur revealed his true colours, that he preferred inflicting destruction than being restrained by the Imperium.

History
Timur was a recruit from Dhul’hasa, from one of the desert tribes that barely survived living far from the cities. Timur stood out as a hardy child, which was noticed by the recruiters and he was chosen to be inducted into the legion. Timur’s aggression was visible early on, with his sparring sessions often resulting in him injuring his opponents. His clear ability was hampered by his discipline issues, all of which characterised his career for the remainder of the Great Crusade. Whilst other Primarchs or legions would censure such behaviour, Azus Bahmut saw a use for such destructive tendencies, directing Timur’s promotion into the destroyer squads and companies.

Within the 4th Chapter, Timur gained significant respect for his viciousness and effectiveness at destroying targets. He was promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant in swift succession, gaining a notable victory at the Razing of Kathoga which saw him earn his nickname of the Pitiless by slaughtering a whole city’s populace due to reports that a xenos infestation had infiltrated the city. With the death of the Captain of the 4th Chapter, Timur was nominated by the Moritat Prime of the Western Horde, Ramawt Al’Gharama, and was elevated to the position.
