Editing Loxodontii (section)

==Notable Members==
===Barabash, Stargazer of the Fourth===
The very first Loxodontii to fall to the Ruinous Powers. While a mediocre Librarian and Chaplain at best in his Stargazer duties when he was first initiated in the Loxodontii, he would immensely rise in rank and reputation after his first secret communion with the Dark Gods of Chaos. He would go on to push the fourth chapter's cannibalistic tendencies and establish warrior lodges throughout the legions to discover who of them would be suitable allies and who was to be discared beforehand. Through visions of the gods, he would be led to [[Marduk Engur]] of the [[Leviathan Host]] in order to exploit the latter's susceptibility to the Primordial Truth and corrupt him. He was present during the Siege of Terra and escaped death with a personal retinue of Loxodontii Mantikhors.

===Annumashi, Chapter Commander of the Fourth===
A powerful and battlehungry warrior more than a commander, Annumashi was still possessed by a bestial cunning that allowed him to instinctively seek and exploit his enemy's weaknesses. His rise to rank of Chapter Commander is often attributed solely to Barabash's recommendation, presumably to have a puppet leader installed in the chapter. He was supposed to deliver the fatal strike to his primarch, yet could not do so at the sight of his defeated gene-sire. Annumashi went completely rogue during the Siege of Terra, indulging in manhunting rather than attacking the Imperial Palace, and fled in his battleship once the Chaostraitors were defeated. His vessel was destroyed during the Scouring, yet reports exist of a terribly mutated Astartes often referred to as "the Chapter Commander" wielding personal iconography of Annumashi on his armour.

===Iksuda, The Beastmaster===
The most notable Techmarine of the Loxodontii was Iksuda of the fifth chapter, a man whose inherent skill and empathy for the Machine Spirit allowed him to restore all but the most devastated of the legion’s mighty transports. Apart from his technical knowledge was he also a gifted battlefield commander, which became apparent in the many engagements where he’d accompanied mechanized platoons into combat where he could keep the men organised all the while keeping his own machine in tiptop shape. His favourite transport would be named “Iron Tooth” as he’d adorned it with magnificent artwork depicting one of Babylon V’s mighty beasts, giving the front an appearance similar to a grim war-elephant. The life he ascribed to the Machine Spirit was seen by many outside the legion as superstitious, frivolous, even insane, and yet it was this conviction that made Iksuda into the dedicated machinist that he was.

Iksuda would befall a twisted fate during the Brotherwar, as during an engagement he would be killed while inside “Iron Tooth” by a particularly brutal anti-armour shell which ripped through the machine’s hull. The Rhino transport itself seemed to roar in pain and grief, as if the Machine Spirit within had felt its beloved brother die, disregarding its own wounds. Grandfather Nurgle stirred in the warp, as Iksuda’s quickly fading soul cried out to his transport’s Machine Spirit, and moved by their bond decided to give them another life. “Iron Tooth”s hull would appear to melt as ceramite plates turned to muscle and rearrange to assume the shape of a huge warrior, before hardening to a pulsating carapace, again. Iksuda and “Iron Tooth” had become one, like a dreadnought and yet so much worse, and while their brutish hands would forever be unfit to maintain a machine, again, the “Beastmaster” could sprout countless mechandrites from the grotesque muscle from which it was made.

===Ensi Kiddu Namraru (Contribution from Xun/Gyahdred)===
Ensi Kiddu Namraru is one of the Stargazers. Drawn from one of the Amrar-Hatti bands of Babylon V, Namraru found a natural place in the Outriders, though his talent for divination drew him into the orbit of the Stargazers. Trained under Dingir-Gal Nabbu, one of the greatest diviners of the legion, Namraru became a capable leader as well as a ferocious fighter. At battles such as the Siege of Hamaath and the burning of Hiram II his skill in predition allowed his Outrider forces to strike weak points even as they formed. Not merely a support figure, however, Namraru's charisma also made him an able commander, inspiring incredible displays of tenacity at battles such as those in the Yam Zafon belt. Namraru himself took the head of Sharru Humira and looted the Solar Barge Il-Shaddu from its orbital fanes, which would serve him well as a command ship into the dark years of the heresy.

===Q'baati Mon===
Last surviving captain of the first chapter after the Hour of the Musth, and first to turn traitor when confronted with the choice of death or servitude. Over the course of the campaign, he would dedicate his life to Khorne, eternally spilling blood and revelling in the kill. His fervour grew so great, he would challenge Aggronor the Bloodthirster of his patron god to a fight one on one, from which he would emerge victorious but near death. As the Bloodthirster was fading back to the Immmaterium, Q'baati held onto his prize, and began gorging himself on the warp flesh of his foe, only to have that Bloodthirster begin to chew on Q'baati in one last act of defiance as both were pulled into the Warp. He would emerge from his involuntary excourse a changed man, a misshapen form of a bullman covered in blood, the partly ingested essence of the Bloodthirster constantly fighting to take over the body in what appears to be a neverending contest of who could consume whom in a gross and violent act of mutation, where sometime the bull's head would be seen at the stomach and the man's head on his shoulders, only to surge up and change places with each other in mighty jaws opening far beyond any reasonable capacity, swallowing the other whole.

===Captain Shuwon Harad of the 38th company, the Ghost Man, Champion of the Ash Mouth===
He battled on the volcanic deathworld of Dureguar for eight weeks, day and night, fighting the abhuman Squats until his armour was covered in the flakey, pale grey of the world's constant volcanic emissions. He would be the most renown of all Ash Mouths in the annals of Loxodontii, and his ideals of mental strength would be hailed until their fall.
Shuwon Harad is still alive in the year 013.M40, where his hunger killed him many times over but his iron will has brought him back from the Warp as a ghostly warrior burning in a cold warpfire, his face gaunt and pale but his eyes gleaming with hate for both his brethren for falling to their bestial urges, as well as the civilians of the Imperium for being weak willed and not forging their own destiny. As such he views them as cattle for slaughter, or animals to be hunted for sport.

===Ya-Washarma Akki Nubarma of the First Chapter===
Winner of the Eighth Grand Joust hosted by the Emperor's Dragoons. A pompous and boisterous man, Ya-Washarma hailed from royal lineage and his armour was heavily decorated to the point of barely seeing the ceramite beneath. For all his bluster, he was an insultingly  capable cavalier and dedicated Outrider captain. He won the Joust by just one measure against Arnaud Vasailles of the Dragoons, who punched the former's teeth out after Ya-Washarma's condescending remarks after is victory. They were then replaced by bronze dentures, each engraved with the Imperial Aquila.
Ya-Washarma would die on his following campaign against an Ork Warboss of the Red Sunz, called Mad Mekks. After the ork was slain, they found that he had taken Ya-Washarma's bronze dentures and welded them to his own teeth "kuz of a shinies".

===Muzzurdi Qu'um===
Outrider of the 4th chapter. Was defeated by Bortronde Markwise of the Emperor's Dragoons in the final match of the 11th Grand Joust, offering his friendship after. He would later fall in a campaign in the Dyen sector and be eaten by his battle brothers in reverence.

===Dja-Shamash of the 2nd Chapter===
A talented and powerful wrestler, but a terrible rider. Defeated in the early rounds of the 13th Grand Joust.

===Shamil Akkad, Captain of the 14th company===
Accompanied Ashur of Banipal on his campaign on the planet of Yar Kin Nu, a joint effort between the Loxodontii and the Chosen of Hecate.
