==Warband History==
Cyrus Dumah was, in his early decades of being a Marine, idealistic and an optimistic person. He often came to disagreements with Saul, yet despite their differences, the Primarch and the Chief Librarian worked together through thick and thin. During this time, he forged ties of both friendship and rivalry with members of a few other Legions, and was seen as a kind and a curious man by most of them. As the crusade dragged on, all of that changed.

Slowly Cyrus adopted the same ruthlessness his Legion was known for, and became ever more distant to all around him. He was slowly withering, his psychic powers eating away at him and his quest for knowledge consuming ever more time of his waking hours. His ties with Saul strengthened as their disagreements turned into unified will and purpose, as Cyrus inched ever closer to Saul's grim view of the world.

He began to see nightmares every time he closed his eyes, and his sanity began to crumble toward the end of the Great Crusade. He began to see portents and signs of Chaos all around him. Seeking answers, he found things best left buried. His mind cracked, and for months, he was separated from reality and Warp alike as his mind was slowly repairing itself in a crude image, a mere shadow of his former self.

It was then, weeks before the Heresy, Cyrus waked from his living nightmare. He rushed to Saul, trying to stop the Legion from falling to Nurgle: he told Saul of his findings, of powers beyond that of the Gods, and that he knew the true path to ending the suffering of all. His pleads falling to deaf ears, he took all his brothers who were willing to abandon their primarch to aid Cyrus accomplish his goal along with the contents of the Librarium. Thus was created the seditionist Second Sons, who would later become the Black Suns.

The Black Suns' history is rife with conflict, having survived until 41st millenium nearly undeterred. Only when the Ash Bearers, assisted by the agents of the Dark Imperium, destroyed the holdings of the Black Suns, was their dark purpose and lore found and spread. The Black Suns survived, with the final stronghold of Bastion Serpentis successfully defended. However, the only member of the Black Suns to survive was Cyrus Dumah himself. Until recently, the renegade Warband became naught but a bad memory.

As the war between Dark Imperium and the Loyalists grew to its breaking point and the End of Times approach, the nightmarish Black Tide began: pouring from Scintilla, monstrous creatures with the faces of the Marines who once died under Cyrus' command began to recapture Calixis Sector and indiscriminately attack surrounding areas. Whatever their plan is, it has little effect on the great war raged far away, but many prophesise something much worse is about to come. Whether the End of All is to be of the Black Suns' design, something else or averted entirely remains to be seen.
