Chapter Master Bihn'Tu Nguyen-Guong, Slayer of the Last Suongia
Bihn'Tu has been the Golden Spectres' Chapter Master for the past eight centuries. As such he is given the daunting task of keeping track of the operations of chapter's ten Cell-Companies.
One of Bihn'Tu's most famous exploits is his hunt of the last of the Sunogia, great feral beasts that are feared by both the tundra travelling nomads on the surface, as well as the tribes who live in their planet's underground jungles. The Sunongia were gigantic, horrid creatures, with multiple huge arms, massive tusks and sharp teeth, thick fur and spiked skin. Stories of how the giants from the heavens brought down the first Sunogia are still told to children of Rừngẩn, but the story of how a single angel armed with only a knife and his clever tricks brought down the terrible beast is perhaps the most well known of all.
Bihn'Tu tracked the last Suongia, named Kinhso by local natives, for weeks. After figuring out the beast's routine, he started laying out traps in order to weaken the best. He then lured the creature into a cavern, trapping himself inside with the Suongia. Even after suffering from massive wounds from all the traps placed by Bihn'Tu, the last Suongia put up a great fight, but the chapter master was too much for the savage beast.
After ridding his world from the last of the Suongia, Bihn'Tu skinned it, creating a cloak from it's black fur and taking it's skull as a trophy. He would later have the creature's sharpest fang made into a Combat Knife, to go with the one he was given upon his ascension to Chapter Master.
Suongia Rangnanh: This combat knife was made from the fang of the first Suongia ever slain by the chapter, Rangnanh. It has been passed down from Chapter Master to Chapter Master from millenia.
Suongia Kinhso: The youngest of the pair of knives, this one was forged from the teeth of the last of the feral beasts. Bihn'Tu wishes for the two knives to be kept together.
