Luitenus

The Riven throughout the Great Crusade had fought a large number of xenos and humans who had used the powers of the Empyrean as weapons. Luitenus was a regular battle brother when during a compliance a rogue enemy psyker exploded in a shower of blood and viscera, a bulking monster standing in its place. Luitenus slew the monster with a Heavy Flamer claimed off of the body of Luitenus’ dead comrades. This incident, though not reported in the official battle reports, was noted by the Riven high command and Luitenus was monitored from that point on.

When the Riven travelled into the Eye of Terror, Luitenus began hearing a voice warning him of the monsters. He also began reliving his fight with the monster whenever he was alone, hearing the screams of his dying brothers. Luitenus did not understand the reason for his visions until he was finally exposed to the real reason the Riven had travelled into the Eye: to make contact with daemons. Upon seeing daemons once again, Luitenus felt a deep revulsion and was aghast that his fellow Riven were open to siding with them. This opinion would mark him out as a dissent within the Legion, which slowly created a rift between him and his brothers. The voice he was hearing began telling him that He could help him get revenge against the monsters.

Luitenus would bide his time, waiting for the eyes of the Hierarchs to be directed elsewhere. When the Second Ruin occurred and the Riven revealed their treachery, Luitenus would slip away in the chaos, slaying one of his brother’s as he fled for his use of sorcery. Luitenus would follow the voice in his head to a barren world, where he would be met by a figure in black and white.
