Editing Rachnus Rageous (section)

==Early Life==

Each of the [[Primarchs]] were created with different abilities that the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]] thought would be useful during the [[Great Crusade]]; the second was given the Blank gene.  This ability did not prevent the second Primarch from being snatched up by [[Chaos]] and scattered to the desert world of [[Voralia]], but his null-aura was sufficiently strong to frighten away predators and scavengers, allowing him to survive his first few nights alone.

One night, he chased some Sandlegs (mildly domesticatable wolf-sized arachnids) away from a carcass, and noticed that they fled in one direction.  He followed them, and they led him to the hermit Maloris, who in turn took the young Primarch to the nearby village.  The villagers had seen the second Primarch's genetor-pod falling to Voralia, and taken it as an omen.  When they realized that the pod had borne a child from the sky, they immediately accepted him.

Maloris adopted him and named him Rachnus Rageous, and while his null-aura was off-putting, he grew quickly, and impressed his fellow villagers.  He came to be known for his reliability as an ally and his ferocity as a warrior, and he became close friends with a few youths in his village: Fal, Ridons, and Caustan.

After Rachnus successfully completed his manhood trial by killing a massive Sandleg, the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]] appeared in a blinding flash of light, where he revealed the truth of Rachnus's origins.  Rachnus bid a tearful farewell to the village that had taken him in, and took command of the [[Desert Fangs]] [[Space Marine]] Legion.  His spirits were somewhat lifted when his friends became Desert Fangs as well.
