Editing Iskandar Khayon (section)

==Pre-Heresy==
A [[Prospero]] native, Khayon experienced tragedy at an early age when his sister Itzara was attacked by a nasty psychic brain parasite which destroyed much of her brain tissue. After it became clear that she would never function again, he decided (in an attempt to keep some of her still alive) to hand her over to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], who were trying to create an advanced [[Machine Spirit]]. She survived the procedure, but due to the amount of secondary brains and mechanical attachments that were grafted onto her, [[Grimdark|she lost all of her sense of individuality]], becoming the Anamnesis, one of the most advanced machine-spirits ever created. She was installed in the Thousand Sons cruiser ''Tlaloc''.

Khayon served honorably in the [[Great Crusade]]. Unlike a lot of major Chaos characters, he wasn't really a notable in his legion, being a competent sorcerer and commander but otherwise just another run-of-the-mill legionary. As of the limited edition book 'The Abyssal Edge', part of the 'Sons of the Emperor' anthology, it is revealed that he was one of the Khenetai Blades, the Order of the Jackal, during the Crusade. He managed to escape the [[Burning of Prospero]], killing a Space Wolf champion by literally dismantling him at the molecular level and taking his axe, Saern. He was not, however, one of the Thousand Sons that Magnus took with him to the [[Sortiarius|Planet of Sorcerers]], and remained in the wreckage of Prospero until he was rescued by [[Lheorvine Ukris]], a [[World Eaters]] captain. The two became allies and (occasional) friends. Luckily he didn't meet the other World Eaters force that Khârn led to Prospero, which ended up hunting down some returned Thousand Sons and killing all but one.

He was at the [[Siege of Terra]], where he acquired a serious grudge against the [[Emperor's Children]] for leaving their positions during the attack on the Imperial Palace and murderfucking Terran civilians instead.
