Changes

'''Malcharion''', also known as the '''War Sage''', was [[Captain]] of the 10th [[Company]] of the [[Night Lords]] Legion during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}} He went on to slay [[Xorumai Khan]], [[Space Marine Captain|swordmaster-captain]] of the [[White Scars]] 9th Company, [[Lethandrus|Lethandrus the Templar]], paladin of the [[Imperial Fists]] Legion , and [[Raguel|Raguel the Sufferer]], captain of the [[Blood Angels]] 7th Company , in a single day at the [[Siege of Terra]]. However , after this feat, the famed commander and wise strategist of the Night Lords was interred into [[Dreadnought|Dreadnought Armour]]. Like many in the Night Lords, he is fiercely loyal to the original vision of their [[Primarch]] , [[Konrad Curze]] , and has a disdain for the [[Gods of Chaos|Ruinous Powers]] , as well as those [[Chaos Space Marine]]s who serve them, most notably [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. He is also loyal to [[Talos]], whom he believes to share many qualities with their Primarch.{{Fn|1b}}

In late [[M41]], the Dreadnought holding Malcharion's remains was awoken by [[Talos]] during his power struggle with [[The Exalted]], who attempted to prevent the ancient Captain and hated rival from threatening his power over [[First Claw]]. Malcharion went on to lead the assault on [[Crythe]] with the [[Black Legion]] against the forces of the [[Imperium]], including the [[Blood Angels]]. When it became clear that their Black Legion allies intended to use First Claw as mere cannon fodder, Malcharion and Talos helped evacuate their battle-brothers before destruction came upon them. He was supposedly destroyed by the Blood Angels during the battle, but was secretly salvaged by the [[Dark Mechanicum]] [[Techpriest]] [[Deltrian]].{{Fn|1c}}
