Duniya Kanaash was an adept of Mars who turned to the worship of Chaos and fought alongside the Traitors during the Hektor Heresy. He held many titles, such as Lord of Blessed Ruin, the Father of Destruction, the Omnissiah’s Obliterator, High-Adept of the Ordo Reductor. Later, darker ones included the Crimson Lord, the Murderdax, the Brass Vulture and the Gorebringer.
Personality
His magnum opus would be 'Galactic War', a series of tomes covering every angle of the science and philosophy of War. It would be compared to the War Philosophies of Soo and Klowswitts as the seminal work on the subject of War in the modern age. Unknowingly it was completed and released during the 'year of fortune', 850.M30 and one of those who received a copy was the newly found Primarch Gaspard Lumey. Though enamored of the far reach and complex thought of 'Galactic War', Lumey did have a few reservations and sent a list of addendums and corrections based on his own experiences on Ciban. Though many others would have been affronted, Kanaash welcomed the additions and sent a revised copy to Lumey, as well as putting out a second edition including those changes that same year. The 'Lumey Edition' became the definitive one for over a fifty years, though Kanaash continued to tinker with 'Galactic War' throughout the Crusade. 'Galactic War' would survive the Rebellion, and even in M41 it remains a mandatory read for Imperial Warmasters and Lords Solar. However the original author has long been forgotten, and to all but a few Inquisitors and Astartes Chapter Masters, the author of 'Galactic War' is Gaspard Lumey himself.
Later works would not have the same effect or longevity. 'Eternal War', his final work before his fall to darkness was a depressing look at the twin evils of eternal war and lasting peace. It said that of the two, eternal war was preferable, for peace would bring about another decline and another Age of Strife while war unending would continuously test and temper the human race.
