Editing Iskandar Khayon (section)

==The Breakdown==
'''Reasons why Iskandar is cool:'''

1. Despite having the power and knowledge to become a Warlord in his own right, he stays truly loyal to his lord Abaddon because of his deep belief in the righteousness of The Long War. Where most Chaotic underlings scheme and jockey for dominance, Iskandar still believes in justice, honor, and loyalty, as do many within the Black Legion, and he has been shown to take care of his relatives, friends and minions.

2. He's "evil" by most human reckoning, but his perspectives and morals are consistant enough that he avoids the Cartoon Villain Syndrome that plagues so many depictions of Chaos Astartes. Yeah, he'll throw humans to a torturous death, but he's watched his entire world and almost every mortal on it die in agony. Yeah, he's kind of a lapdog to Abaddon, but you can see his resentment for his broken legion and his disgust at the petty squabbles the legions now war over. He's evil, but you can understand and sympathize with the man.

3. He actually uses tactics. Most sorcerers' approach to combat is to boil someone's insides or throw doombolts. Iskandar gets creative. When he can he'll spend months in advance laying traps, sabotaging minds, weakening infrastructure. It's like the best parts of Raven Guard and Alpha Legion doctrine backed by the psychic might of a sorcerer lord. In this sense he is more of a tactician who also conveniently happens to have access to psychic powers to increase his tactical options over a regular tactician, [[Bale|after a ]][[Sindri|long ]][[Crull|string ]][[Firaeveus_Carron|of ]][[Nemeroth|chaos ]][[Azariah Kyras|losers]] it's actually refreshing to see someone from the red team getting shit done for once without the need of [[Abaddon|plot armor]].

4. Using his powers for complex stuff requires serious work while sat in a very uncomfortable pose. He has to sit there the whole time, even in the warp where time can be very [[Eldrad|dickish.]] And when it's done he has to recuperate quite a long time in some cases. Unable to even drink water. Makes you wonder how he supposedly took down Magnus.

5. He's an elegan\t g\entleman able to charm a smile out of an inquisitor.

6. That! Bitchin'! Helm!

7. He is boyfriends with Ahriman.

'''Reasons why Iskandar is also a [[Mary Sue]]:'''

0. He is always around when the important shit happens, [[Psyker|even if he's on the wrong ship.]]

1. He's a Legionnaire who defeated and humiliated his own Primarch. [[Butthurt|Off screen.]]

2. He has a Yu-Gi-Oh style deck of Tarot cards with bound daemons he can summon, which includes greater daemons like Bloodthirsters, and when he's finished he can banish them easily. [[Rage|Yes, a SORCERER has a pet bloodthirster...]][[If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device| Maybe he challenged Magnus at Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker?]]

3. His hetero-lifemate NOT!girlfriend is a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Scourges|Scourge]] (read: an edgy elf with angel wings) who can solo whole squads of marines. She, an Eldar, can live with him INSIDE THE EYE OF TERROR just because. He also manages to prevent Slaanesh from eating her by "binding her soul to her flesh". In itself this is stupid because it raises the question of why the Sons don't find a way to restore the Rubric Marines in a similar manner, or why the Eldar as a whole don't do this. [[Ynnead|No, having your soul go to a god you made isn't the same thing]] as making your body immortal while permanently stopping a different god from eating you (especially if you accomplish this while they're trying to eat you). It makes the Ynnead gambit entirely pointless. [[Lulz|Any crashing sounds you hear are Cegorach and Tzeentch rolling on the floor with laughter as a Chaos Sorcerer has the key to saving the Eldar race.]] (He does state that it only works as long as she doesn’t know she died, so if all the Eldar start doing it would kind of defeat the point as they’ll most likely find out pretty quickly, although if they were told it was just a psychic surgery then they'd never have a way or reason to know. Or you could modify their minds in the meantime to make them incapable of processing the information that they died.)

4. [[wat|Managed to befriend a daemon.]] Unlike most familiars who betrayed their masters at Prospero Khayon's stayed loyal and became a teleporting daemon wolf who, again, can solo whole squads of marines, until it was destroyed by Horus' clone.

5. His ship has a chick in a stasis tube serving as a machine spirit, but also controling whole armies of Mechanicus robots, did we mention she is his imouto? 

6. He has a [[Katanas are Underpowered in d20|super-force sword made from shards of Sanguinius's sword and crystal-ghost]] that cuts through everything (including a power axe and the terminator armor behind it,) because it's awesome. [[Wat|It even cuts through reality so he can walk through the warp, while in the actual warp anyway.]] [[Derp|Yes a warp sorcerer living in the warp uses a super-sword to walk through the super warp.]]

7. He's an <s>elegan\t g\entleman</s> [[Chaos Space Marine]] able to charm a smile out of an inquisitor.

8. Being the second-most powerful sorcerer among the [[Thousand Sons]] after Ahriman, [[Mary Sue|(and possibly even more powerful seeing as how he supposedly took down Magnus) means he is the most powerful native Prosperine Sorcerer alive.]]

9. [[Just as planned|Abaddon lured Khayon to the Vengeful Spirit, possibly all to get Khayon's sister to drive the thing.]] [[Lulz|Khayon, the one Thousand Son not worshipping Tzeentch, is an extra in Abaddon's plan for a naked chick ship-valet. Any crashing you hear is Tzeentch rolling on all the floors laughing, shipgirls anyone?]]

10. He kills Space Wolves in melee, then when he gets tired just does it by thinking, admittedly he is still a Space Marine and a talented swordsman from the Thousand Sons, so he could kill another space marine feasibly. That or by this point we are clearly seeing [[Archaon|the power of anime on this list.]]

11. He psychically "tugged" his own ship while simultaneously navigating Abaddons dream boat through hell for months straight, only to fling it like a dart out of hell into the planet below and deep impact the entire emperors children legion present (some 20 times the size of the new black legion) in an extinction level event. If true this would put him on the same level as Magnus in terms of psychic power, if he isn't above him. This one is almost assuredly complete horseshit because if it was true, then Abaddon would've had him do the same to Cadia a long, long time ago.
