==>Tlaloc Tzotz, Lord of the Count, the Blind Seer, the Exile==
During the crusade and the heresy, Tlaloc was a member of Xun's inner circle. A librarian of rare power, even in a legion known for its command of warp craft, Tlaloc testified at Nikea and went on to play an important role in many of the battles of the Solar Rim campaign. However, on Prospero, Tlaloc seems to have come under a strange influence.
Whether a tome, a phantasm of the warp, or something else, Tlaloc began to diverge from the cautious Path of Heaven of Xun and Tepectitlan.
In the aftermath of the Heresy, Tlaloc initiated unorthodox experiments in the Warp, looking for better ways to fight the neverborn. Specifically, Tlaloc developed a ritual similar to the soul binding performed by the Emperor on Astropaths. While this protected librarians from the neverborn and increased their ability to slay them, it delved into strange xenos lore of the dancing eldar.
Xun was furious that Tlaloc had done this without approval, even as Xun developed his own method for soulbinding.
For this breach of trust, Tlaloc was cast out from the Legion, with nothing but a small band of retainers.
From then on, though allowed to meet with members of the Legion, Tlaloc was on his own. Xun being Xun, a path to redemption was left open. If Tlaloc could gather all the data, then he would be allowed back.
Still devoted to the cause of the Imperium, Tlaloc seeks for a way into the legendary Black Library of the Harlequins.
In this task, there is none he will not work with and nothing he will not do. He has raided Angelic Abbeys and Asuran Libraries alike.

(I'm thinking he still has his library card to the Sky Serpents. Xun basically couldn't condone his reckless acts, but seeing how the censure of Oramar turned out, he figured he'd try something different with his own son. The results are mixed.)


==Baqar Hadbaal==

==Yue Taijiang==
I'm thinking he comes to power fairly recently after having been on the ruling council for a long time. They'd been trying to get him to take the position for a while, but he'd long resisted what essentially ammounted to a desk job coordinating strategy on an Imperial scale. He's one of those top strategic minds in the legion types as opposed to the greatest warrior.
He only took the command after auguries called him out by name and Illuyankas dreamt of him leading the armies of the Empire.
With the beginning of the 13th crusade, it seems his time has come at last.

==Illuyanka Tlaloc, Chief Librarian of the Sky Serpents==
I don't have much on him yet, except for the fact that he had been in Xun's court on Tepectitlan.
I think he goes on to become the first grandmaster of the Grey Knight equivalent. They replace his bones with adamantium etched with anti-daemonic runes and he is almost slain in a fight against a greater daemon, but another Sky Serpent psyker in need of a way to establish his credentials as a badass slays it and Illuyanka Tlaloc gets put in a dreadnought, probably a leviathan, you know, to keep that serpent theme going. They wake him up every so often, such as during a crusade, and when he is in stasis, they hook up an autoscribe to record his dreams. They're believed to be prophetic, and on a few occasions scryers claim that they include messages from Xun and the Emperor. Lately though, his dreams have been getting very, very weird because End Times. They're afraid to wake him up, given the deep state of reception he seems to be in, but they also are afraid they'll need him on the front. In particular, he was the only Librarian still alive who was there in M35 on Prospero with Xun, so as the legion prepares in case another ritual on Prospero is required, the debate intensifies.
