Editing Fabrice Diallo (section)

==Origins==

Often thought to have been recruited from Afrik, Fabrice Diallo was in fact born in the Hives of Francia.  As a child he had great athletic potential and was initially groomed as a professional sportsman, but the chance to join the Emperor's glorious [[Legiones Astartes (Hektor Heresy)|Space Marine Legions]] in the Great Crusade called more strongly to the youth.  For all his ambition, he was almost ejected from the recruitment process for fighting with other recruits.  Only the shortage of other recruits led [[Antoine Antonelle]], then Legion Master of the inglorious [[Void Angels|Fifth Legion]], to accept Diallo.

The decision proved fortuitous.  Diallo's fierceness and drive sustained him through the difficulties of the gene-seed implantation.  More importantly, the direct supervision of Master of Recruits Remus Alsara helped to foster a sense of discipline within the young recruit.  By the time he had completed his training, Diallo was considered a highly promising Neophyte and some expressed their regret that he would go on to serve an outfit as lowly as the Fifth.
