Editing New Order (section)

==A Brother Betrayed==
At the time, the New Order's bulk was made of the Wolves of the Emperor; however, a Dragonkin had risen through the ranks and became the captain of the 1st company. This marine's name was Sylus. He was a valiant soldier without peer and a blademaster that could rival the best Khornate warriors. He soon became a close in the chapter to Ryus and had his utmost respect and trust, though the Captain did not trust the Patriarch. Playing off this mistrust, a Daemon of [[Tzeench]], [[Just as Planned|disguised as the Emperor]], told Sylus in the dream that his Patriarch was in a pact with a Chaos God. The zealous 1st Captain lead his company to assassinate the traitorous Ryus. But before they could confront the Patriarch, a warp storm lead the 1st Company's Strike cruiser right into a daemon world of [[Nurgle]]. All but the Captain were killed and Sylus was brought to his knees before a Great Unclean One. It was there that he knew there was no Emperor, no Greater being, just the Lords of Chaos. He denouced the Corpse God and embraced Nurgle, having all of his former battle brothers brought back to life for a new purpose: to bring death to the New Order.

Later, Sylus, now Siliac, returned to Kattifrakk and raided the gene-seed vaults, murdering nearly all of the 10th company, and stealing a ton of other wargear in the process while the other companies were away. Upon returning, Patriarch Ryus flew into a fit of rage and followed Siliac's "bread crumb" trail to his lair with a contingent of the First company. Siliac, having picked up a few tricks from his Daemon buddies, summoned legions of Nurgle minions to destroy the Patriarch. Knowing Ryus would dissolve into his fit of rage, Siliac left Ryus to fight off his pawns. Ryus supposedly died on that planet with over half of the First company, until he resurfaced some 200 years later in a cryo chamber aboard the remnants of a First company strike cruiser on the other side of the galaxy.
