 It
was inevitable that Ahriman, the Chief Librarian of
the Thousand sons would be drawn to the mystic lore
gathered at their Primarch, Magnus the Red’s, command
during the great crusade. Their mutual fascination with
mysticism gradually turned the Thousand Sons from being
the Emperors warriors to self-obsessed Sorcerers. Ultimately
the Emperor had to act and unleashed the Space Wolves
against them.
Broken by the savagery of the Space Wolves the remaining
Thousand Sons had little option but to take refuge with
Horus and further dedicate themselves to Tzeentch. Soon
though, the Thousand Sons began to suffer the effects
of debilitating mutation. Ahriman convened a conclave
of the mightiest sorcerers, and secured their aid in
performing a spell called the Rubric of Ahriman that
would halt the mutation. The spell was cast, and those
with sorcerous powers survived it with their powers
augmented, while those without sorcerous powers were
reduced to dust, their spirits trapped inside their
armour for all eternity.
Ahriman and his cabal were exiled from the Planet of
the Sorcerers for their actions, condemned to wander
the cosmos in a search for perfect understanding. Since
then they have sought out magical artefacts, ancient
tomes and talented psykers across the galaxy. Their
threat is such that many members of the Inquisition
would rather destroy an artefact than risk it falling
into the hands of Ahriman’s Cabal.
Ahriman of the Thousand Sons may be included in your
Chaos Space Marines army as a Chaos Lord.
