Rang Talyc

"Rang Talyc is one of the Emperor's truest sons, my firm brother against all foes of the Imperium. Both on and off the battlefield, he is honourable and a commanding presence. I have yet to find a foe unable to match our combined strength, and I know that I never will. May we crusade together for centuries to come."

The Ash-Blooded, known as Rang Talyc, is the Primarch of the VIth Legion, the Shadow Warriors. A Primarch defined by his strong values, his actions in both during the Great Crusade and beyond would be guided by these beliefs. On the one hand, the Ash-Blooded is deeply connected to his family: his family from Keld’abe, his Legion as his sons, and some of his brother Primarchs. He trusts his Legion to operate without micromanaging them, giving them a level of freedom on the battlefield that few other Primarchs deem wise. On the other hand, he is ruthless with those he deems a threat or alien to his family, deeply distrusting the Mechanicum, psykers and mutants. The greatest asset he values is strength, believing the strong should rule over the weak, and with the disappearance of the Emperor he sees weakness corrupting the heart of the Imperium.

Discovered by the Primarch Araphel during the middle of the Great Crusade, he soon proved his martial and tactical skill against the fearsome Rangdan xenos in the Second Rangdan Xenocide, and in the succeeding years of the Crusade gained a reputation for the merciless slaughter of the populations of worlds that resisted him, most particularly recantant Forge Worlds.
