Editing Ezekiel (section)

==History==
Ezekiel (meaning: God will strengthen, and indeed He did) was found on Delphyna III, a planet which had devolved into barbarism, where people had rejected technology and [[grimdark|replaced it with human sacrifice]]. Whilst the Dark Angels were righteously introducing the locals to the business end of a flamethrower, they came across a town which was actually eerily pleasant. In a rare moment of 40k cleverness, the Dark Angels brought in their [[Librarian]] to assist them in investigating the town hall. Inside they found a bat-shitload of lunatic ravings and a young boy [[FATAL|chained up in the basement.]] Sensing immense psychic power from the boy, the Librarian queried why the boy was still chained up, since he was powerful enough to free himself. The boy replied: [[Just as Planned|"I saw salvation coming on wings of fire. Now it is here."]]

The boy would become Ezekiel, and while he was [[Teclis|feeble and wasted in body]], he was genetically compatible enough to be a space marine. Subject to the harshest of [[Anal Circumference|physical]] and [[Rebecca Black|mental]] testing since he was a [[psyker]], he took the whole thing without complaint, which clearly puzzled the chapter's Librarians.

When the Librarian in charge then attempted to read the boy's mind, that Librarian had a stroke... when he recovered eighty days later, he announced that the boy would make it as a Dark Angel, since there was nothing they could do to him which he had not [[rape|suffered]] [[Grimdark|already]]. Ezekiel was promoted immediately to Codicier ''([[Ragnar Blackmane|skipping]] Lexicanum)'' and made it to Epistolary within ten years, making his [[Mary Sue|rise through space marine ranks meteoric]]!

During a duel with a Greater Daemon, the psychic backlash caused Ezekiel to temporary lose his divination power, which was also why Ezekiel lost his eye to stray bolter fire from Orks on '''Honoria'''. Just as his company feared the worst without him to guide them, he reappeared on the lines of battle (after he had been saved from death by the company's Apothecary just hours before) with a crude augmetic in place, and hunted down the Ork Warboss and challenged him to a duel, whereupon the Ork's axe meeting Ezekiel's blade caused the axe to shatter and take out the Warboss' eye, [[JUST AS PLANNED]]. It's worth noting that Ezekiel and that same Apothecary help deliver a woman's baby after she is slain by a stray Ork round. That same woman's husband possessed the cybernetic eye that Ezekiel currently uses.

Following this, due to feeling inferior to Ezekiel's [[Cato Sicarius|obvious superiority]] the Chief Librarian of the Dark Angels stood down, taking a demotion so Ezekiel could take the job (actually, the novel ''Eye of Ezekiel'' revealed that the Chief Librarian did plan to step down eventually, but he also had the excuse of causing terrible damage to the Chapter by attacking the [[Necrons]].)
[[File:Ezekiel.png|thumb|350px|right|Books are, as always, necessary to be a wise-ass librarian.]] From here Ezekiel would oversee and approve every promotion and indoctrination within the Chapter's '''Inner Circle''', and there have been instances where marines have actually declined promotion rather than stand under Ezekiel's judgement. This has probably something to do with one case of where a sergeant was offered promotion to captain of the 10th company, so Ezekiel probed his thoughts for a day and night... afterwards the sergeant took his bolt pistol and blew his own brains out. While Ezekiel said that he found nothing in the sergeant's mind that would have prevented his promotion, the sergeant clearly found [[/d/|some]][[/b/|thing]] in there he couldn't live with.

It was Ezekiel who persuaded Azrael not to tamper with history and to destroy the Tuchulcha Engine, which was the main reason why Caliban itself was destroyed in the past and the Fallen were scattered in the first place!
