Editing The Four (section)

===Vizier Selim Cihangir===
Eternal Vizier Selim Cihangir ibn Ahmed is something of an oddity among The Four in that he takes an active roll in The Long War. Where his siblings appear seemingly randomly, or lead their own warbands, Selim is a mastermind and a wanderer. He moves from warzone to warzone, often appearing in a blaze of subtle flame to take command of the faithful when their defeat seems inevitable, to stand as a pillar of hope when all seems lost. He also often moves from army to army, helping to communicate with and coordinate the many fractured warbands of chaos's faithful, orchestrating rebellions to ease their invasions, and supporting their eventual assaults with his considerable psychic powers. Also uniquely among the Four, he's quite willing to speak of his origins, though considering [[Tzeench|his patron]], the truth of his words is highly suspect. 

Born a slave on some long dead Knight World, Selim won his way to the position of Grand Vizier, the first adviser to the King, through intellect, cunning, and carefully tempered ambition. It also didn't hurt that Selim was a psyker, with modest ability but great discipline, allowing him to look into the future or the minds of his rivals. Though he wasn't a noble and thusly could never rule or pilot a Knight, Selim used his position of Vizier to improve the lives of all people in his country, increasing access to education for the lower classes and shifting the slave economy of his nation to a system of serfdom, and pushing for increasingly pluralist policies as time went on, though he always made sure to keep power firmly in the hands of the king, and thus his own hands. Through clever deals, bribes, threats, and careful manipulation, Selim managed to keep the uppity nobles who opposed his changes from ever rebelling, and perhaps most significantly, managed to keep himself out of their sights entirely. Throughout the years few had ever recognized that their king's policies and laws were not his own, but rather those of his adviser. Though as was always the case in those days, the world changed when the sky split apart and great craft of steel and stone fell from the heavens. The 93rd expeditionary fleet had come, and with it the legendary Freeblade Knight, Zael. 

That's where Selim's telling of the story always ends. Further questioning is ignored. He won't speak of his service to the Imperium, or his master, or why he and his siblings fell from the Emperor's grace. Outside of the four, there are only three who know. One is dead, one has been dying for millennia, and the last certainly won't be telling.
