Editing Loxodontii (section)

===Legion Culture & Personality===
The Loxodontii are considered amicable and kind hearted up until their fall, embracing their fellow Astartes and even mortal auxiliaries as friends and part of a greater family. Their bond to their primarch was so strong that even though they had completely fallen to Chaos, they could not deliver the killing blow, and some say that their frenzy was just an attempt to escape their own sense of guilt over their betrayal in the first place.

Their rampant superstition was visible to everyone who saw their battle preparations: They adorned their own faces, armour and vehicles with symbols of good fortune and mystical protection, they chanted hymns in the harsh Babylonian language to pray to the Emperor and the Babylonian gods and spirits and they were deeply afraid of psykers of any kind, ironically ignoring their Stargazers' psychic potential.

[[Ashur of Banipal]] was the most empathic and emotional of the primarchs, burdened with the wish to appease all his brothers and his love for most of them. Even his fear of psykers could not truly overrule his respect and love for his brother [[Lambach Kropor]], although he would always be torn over his contradicting principles.

As more recruits native to Babylon V filled the ranks, the cannibal traditions of the nomad tribes pervaded the legion's culture. While the exercised caution and secrecy at first by only consuming select fallen targets and serfs, their craving for human flesh increased as the Stargazer Barabash founded warrior lodges and through them encouraged the Loxodontii to embrace their Babylonian heritage. While they themselves believed it to be simply a tradition they kept alive, Barabash's goal was to further their descent into depravity and straight into the arms of Chaos.

After they captured and chained their Primarch, the Loxodontii engaged in a week long frenzy where they hunted across the surface of Babylon V and companies would raid each other's space ships for serfs - And eventually, each other. At some point, the Stargazers of the 13th legion discovered that by devouring living things, they could actually absorb their souls and add their warpstuff to their own, increasing their warp signature and enhancing their own psychik potential, especially so by eating other psykers. Other, non-psychik Loxodontii followed suit as they began to feel more in tune with the Warp and Chaos with each consumed soul. Some champions would amass such incredible amounts of soulstuff that their own soul could survive death and remain in the Warp without dissipating, living off the amassed soulstuff and being able to reach to mortal minds in the material realm. These champions will urge their mortal followers to construct make-shift bodies fashioned from scrapped metal, bones, and organs to house their souls so they may return to the material realm once more to feed on souls.
