''"The greatest abyss to ever grace a battlefield has come for you. The very name of Rachnus will swallow the souls of all who would oppose mankind, and even the fearless shall find themselves quaking in their boots."''

''Lord Crannon vainly lifted his combi-bolter, and racked across its slide to chamber the next magazine. Beside him there was a whole team of the finest terminators he could muster, yet all of them screamed out in agony. They clutched their helmets and dropped their weapons, one even plunging his blade into his own skull to escape whatever terrors plagued his mind. When Crannon finally marched down to the end of the ship's corridor, there was a room with all light sucked away from it.''

''The darkness opened its eyes, and then concentrated its essence into a point so miniscule, that he could see the entirety of time screeching to a halt around the form. He tried to steel himself and hold firm, but with every passing second his mind crumbled further, and the psychic energies he commanded sputtered into nothingness. The Lord held up his armored glove to fire mind-bullets, but they fizzled just inches from the fingertips. And still, the darkness marched closer to him.''

''To his eyes, he saw his hands shredded to pieces, and then elongated to miles and miles apart. Until the tips of his fingers stretched so far away from the rest of his body that they shifted red and black, then vanished into nothing. Crannon depressed the triggers of his combi-bolter into the black hole, and for a time they seemed to dissipate its form. But then he found a shadow pinning his body to the floor, and dark fingers plunged into his eyes. He screamed once, and then his mind ceased all existence.''

''With its prey destroyed, the shadow ceased to focus its aura. Like a changeling, it took on the form of a space marine in terminator armor. It's green eyes depressed far into the creature's skull, and a faintly metalic skin clung to its cheeks. Rachnus removed his staff from the Chaos Lord's armor, and calmly noted with his autosenses that the lord was alive, and yet somehow not. He could hear the lord's two hearts beating to such a perfectly flat tune, that no living brain could possibly control its movement. "The Warlord is dead, I will euthanize him now." Rachnus spoke in a flat monotone over his vox, then leveled off a plasma pistol to Crannon's hearts.''

Rachnus Pacifus is, and will likely be the most powerful psychic null to have ever been born in Aprior. Upon his birth, the uncontrolled aura from the newborn blank was of such power that the over thirty thousand staff of the hive hospital succumbed to it within seconds. Three squads of tactical marines were dispatched to the hospital to secure the area retrieve him, but it was quickly found that only a silencer could get near the child. Since that incident, Rachnus was raised solely by the Nullarium, in a facility kept secret in the polar ice caps of Aprior Secundus. He was implanted with the gene-seed of the Knights Inductor in the year M41:952, and has been in service with the Knights Inductor since then. 

Though the Null-Lord was groomed to be a leader for the Knights Inductor, extreme isolation has stunted his mind to such an extreme that he can barely stand the presence of other people. Rachnus speaks only to the other silencers of the Nullarium, and remains inside a warded isolation chamber on Aprior Secundus until called to battle. His aura is also of such an extreme degree of power that he can only be transported inside of his isolation chamber, as his unshielded presence is enough to outright kill Astropaths aboard ships. 

Perhaps someday the Lord will will learn to control his aura to an extent that Zakis Randi finds acceptable. But until then his duties are relegated to training lesser silencers that the chapter finds great use in.
