The Sons of Ishamael

[ishamael]

Ishamael became a marine in M31 and became part of the Ravens Talon Chapter (Raven Guard gene seed). Through the years he rose through the ranks, eventualy attaining the rank of captain. Even though he controled a hundered men, he always craved more power.
His pride drew the attenion of the Prince of Excess, Slaanesh. Whispering to Ishamael with promises of Eternal Life and unlimited power,

Then during the attack on the chaos infested planet of Tameril, he slew his Chapter Master and the other nine Captains before anyone could react. He blamed the other Chapters taking part of the attack, telling his Chapter that they had killed their leaders, and that Chaos was not their real enemy.

Enraged the chapter rallied under him and along with the Chaos forces they slaughtered the Loyalist Chapters. From that moment on they became the (Thinking of name) and raided various Imperial Worlds, adding to their wealth and infamy.

During his conquests, Ishamael met Lord Trygon the Terrible, Lord of the Tazards Talons. Ishamael witnessed Trygons power and intelligence first hand, watching as he destroyed an entire system with little effort. Ishamael felt something he had never felt before. Respect. Ishamael pledged his service to Trygon, and has battle with him since. Of course, like all things Chaos, Ishamael might decide that he would be a better leader than Trygon. Such is the path of Slaanesh.

Ishamael, is even more cunning and intelligent than when he was a loyalist, and uses it with brutal effenciency. He wears Tazard Patern Armour, although with added Slaanesh Icons and colours, and uses a Lash Whip and a Power Sword.

Demandred, Leutenient of the Sons of Ishamael:

Demandred was a veteren segeant of Ishamaels company before its turn to Chaos. He was a brilliant man and quickly rose to veteran sergeant staus just 30 years after his joining. In fact he was conisidered second only to Ishamael in the company, and it was generaly thougth that he would soon become a captain. At the time both Ishamael and Demandred were both Veteran Sergeants, and both were exceptionaly skilled.

But when the Captain of their company was slain and a new one was to be picked, it was Ishamael , not Demandred who was picked. Demandred came to hate Ishamael with every fibre of his being, believing that he had stolen his rightful place. It is said that his ation started even before Ishamaels betrayal and that Slaanesh had already found a way into his heart.

When Ishamael killed his fellow captains and master and took over the legion, he made Demandred his top leutenient. Even though Demandred hated Ishamael, he feared and respected him even more. However, he is not the most loyal in the legion, and would not hesitate to take his masters place.

Windblade the Mutilator:

Windblade is a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh sent to be Ishamaels advisor and greatest warrior. While he does not take orders directly from Ishamael, he respects the warriors dedication to Slaanesh, and will usually follow his advice in return. This does not mean however that he thinks Ishamael is his better, and will not hesitate to put him in his place if he thinks hes getting above himself.
