Editing Rahman Keita'mansa (section)

==Equipment==
Rahman’s personal armor is one of the finest examples of power armor ever artificed, perfectly fitted to his body in every way. Though of comparable defensive power to that of a suit of  master-wrought Terminator armor. Constructed in baroque style, it’s blue-gray coloring matches that of the rest of legion, with the same silver accents as well. On the center of the cuirass is a large embossed silver emblem, that of his legion, the Cardinal Skull. This houses a powerful force field generator, one of considerable strength. The backpack mounts several lenses and surveyors, linked into the monocle he wears as well, as well as what appear to be crystal structures in mountings of some kind. The suit’s pauldrons have dangling silver filigree, giving them something of the look of epaulets. 

However, the armor also integrates a heavy coat styled as those of his adopted father’s calling, a flamboyant mix of high-collared and silver-edged naval uniform and daring rogue that integrates on his armor, a deeper navy, almost black, in color. The coat is woven with voidsheen, a micro-vitrious mesh designed to diffract and absorb energy, making it more than mere decoration, but a layer of defense all its own. It also holds another secret due to another material woven into it, one that reacts only when another device is activated. 

A secondary defense to the force field generator, a holo-field hangs around his neck, one of several pendants of various kinds. When activated, it generates a blurring image, and casts off reflections that hide his position. Photoreactive materials in the coat assist in this process, making it difficult to track him when he is in motion. The origins of this technology are disputed, with the official claim being that it is derived from archeotech from before the Age of Strife, yet similarities to Eldar technology have cast doubt on this. 

The crystalline structures on his backpack are often thought of as mere decoration or perhaps some sort of targeting matrix, but in reality are part of piece of technology of unequivocal xenos origin: a Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon, which creates an aura that destabilizes the fields of plasma weapons around the wearer, making it nearly impossible to accurately target with them. Another piece of hidden xenotech is the Eldar flip-belt integrated into the suit’s waist, one that he uses only sparingly to avoid revealing.

Per weaponry, fitting someone who prides himself both on his flamboyance and tactical flexibility, and someone who so greatly appreciates unique curios and relics, he carries with him quite a panoply. Specifically, his primary arm is the Volkite Petronel, a unique archeotech weapon. At its most basic, it resembles a volkite weapon, yet is capable of far higher output. Firing a pulsed storm of energy, it could reduce entire squads of lightly armored foes to ash. It was often carried alongside two other weapons, both of xenos origin. The first, a psychocrystalline weapon of unknown alien manufacture, the Neuro Disruptor was one of several xenos treasures that Rahman had and uses, pulling out the weapon to lay waste to the most dire of foes. It had no obvious power source, internal workings or mechanical trigger, but worked by intent. It used intricate psycho-crystalline circuitry to emit a wave of particles that disrupt the brain's neural pathways. He also carried another weapon of xenos origin, the Blast Pistol. Not to be confused with a weapon sometimes found in the hands of other Imperial officers, not being a laser weapon but rather one that fires a strange material referred to as Darklight, harvested through unknown means. Limited in ammunition, Rahman kept it as a trophy and used it only in the most dire circumstances, bringing a power that can tear through armor with ease.

For melee, he is no less esoteric, and while his panoply includes several eldritch items of unknown origins, the primary being a heavy falchion of black metal, etched with emerald lines and runes that dances with energy of the same. It’s grip is of human make a caged basket hilt that integrates a light suspensor to lighten the weapon to near nothing, while the blade itself is of xenos origin.  The blade is unusual in its ability to phase in and out of Realspace by molecular realignment, allowing it to plunge clean through armour, flesh and bone as though they were not there at all. Energy shields, armour and even daemonic bodies are of no defence against a it’s fractal edge.

Further, both hands are festooned with rings, several of which contain digital weapons of various kinds, rounding out the flexible panoply of death Rahman carries with him. However, this is not the extent of his arsenal, and he’s been known to make use of micro-void shields, phase generators, and peculiar cloaking devices, all manner of device both archaeotech and xenos, based upon his whims and fancy and cunning plans, black tetrahedrons with dark green circuitry across its alien surface. A favored weapon are strange metal spheres around the size of a man’s fist, seemingly featureless and activating only if thrown, delivering a stunning shock upon impact.

Rahman is usually accompanied by a Gyrinx by the name of Musa, a 2 meter felinoid creature that bonded with him during one of his many explorations into the depths of space. The creature accompanies him nearly everywhere, and is widely considered one of the largest of its kind; gyrinx are known to take on the physical traits of those they are bonded to, and it is likely that Rahman’s unique physiology and prodigious soul caused the peculiar growth in the creature. The creature accompanies him even into battle, a stalking predator with peculiar abilities, assisting his ability to think and react.
