Mahrid Ganzur

Mahrid Ganzur was the High Chaplain of the Dune Serpents during the Great Crusade and Five Ruins. A native of Dhul’hasa, he was brought up before Azus Bahmut’s unification of the planet amongst one of the many nomadic tribes. Upon joining the Dune Serpents, Mahrid’s charisma marked him out as special as charisma was not a trait often associated with the XIVth Legion. From here, he would rise up the ranks as a competent leader, attracting a following and using his independence to prove his worth. However, he was not granted high command within the Legion, passed over for command of the Southern Horde. Mahrid’s time would finally come with the creation of the Chaplaincy, where he would gain the position of High Chaplain of the Serpents as a whole. Though this position had little practical importance, it gave Mahrid a position in the Legion’s high command and gave him connections in all of the Hordes.

Mahrid stuck rigidly to his Dhul’hasan roots, being known for drawing the Legion’s chaplain symbols from the mythology of Dhul’Hasa. He also is secretly bitter about the Terrans within the Serpents, particularly First Captain Lawrenz who Mahrid believes to be unfit and a relic. This animosity led to the formation of the secret group known as the Venom Lords, which would later grow into an Insurgo group by the time of the Third Ruin.

Mahrid Ganzur would be one of the leading Serpents to turn on his gene-father and the Legion, striking at the Southern Horde and gathering support. He would claim the title of Legion Master and attempt to bring all of the Traitor Serpents under his command.
