Pre-Heresy Rylanor

Rylanor was the Ancient of Rites in the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legion during the Great Crusade. Having served with the Great Crusade since its beginning, Rylanor was eventually wounded in battle with the Eldar some decades before the beginning of the Horus Heresy. Rylanor's life was saved by his conversion into a Dreadnought. He continued to serve in his position of Ancient of Rites after his internment. As the Ancient of Rites, Rylanor held responsibility for overseeing the progression of Emperor's Children recruits from novice to one of Fulgrim's Chosen, and was also said to be able to perceive a lie the moment it was told. Normally stationed aboard the Emperor's Children vessel Andronius, Rylanor maintained the Hall of Rites located there.1-p.162-164

During the battle, Rylanor's sarcophagus had been slightly cracked, and he was killed by the Life Eater virus unleashed on Istvaan III by the traitorous Warmaster.
