Krysander was the Captain of the Emperor's Children Legion's 9th Company, during the Horus Heresy and like most of its members he had embraced mutilation, hedonism, and body-modification.[1]
History
Shortly after the Dropsite Massacre, Krysander was among the Legion's Brotherhood of the Phoenix, who came to a meeting called by Captain Lucius and were convinced by him that a Daemon has possessed their Primarch Fulgrim. Incensed at the idea[1a], the Brotherhood devised a plan to ambush the Primarch aboard the Strike Cruiser Andronicus, when Fulgrim was due to visit the lab of Chief Apothecary Fabius[1b], and then find a way to force the Daemon to leave his body[1a]. However during the ambush, Fulgrim proved himself to be a deadly opponent, despite being vastly outnumbered and seriously wounded Krysander. Though the ambush was successful[1c], Krysander's body had to be biologically restored by Fabius and Fulgrim was tortured to free him of the Daemon's control. However the Primarch quickly revealed that his capture had been a ruse and easily freed himself[1d]. The Primarch admitted that while his body had been controlled by a Daemon, which happened after Fulgrim's shock at killing his brother Ferrus Manus, this had allowed him to come to a better understanding of the powers given to him by his worship of Slaanesh. This later allowed the Primarch to retake control of his body and Fulgrim stated that he was now ready, to share the secrets he had learned with his Legion.[1f]
