Changes

Four years after the events on [[Prospero]], much of Shiban's body was replaced by mechanical parts, including his forearms, calves, thighsbeing studded with pistons and braces, and necka mass of interlocking valves, which he dubbed the "Shackles." Half of his face was gone as well, replaced by synthflesh and metal plating. One eye had been replaced with an iron augmetic, and a forest of pistons and nerve-bundles protruded from the lip of his gorget. His Talskar scar was still visible, preserved amid the overlapping steel scales, zigzagging across what remained of his cheek. His men referred to him as "Tachseer" ("Restorer"), and he took many who were loyal from the rebellious brotherhoods under his own command. Shiban was changed over these years, becoming bitter, violent, and losing his signature laughter.{{Fn|2a}} His reunion with [[Torghun Khan]] during the Scars rendezvous at [[Dark Glass]] went poorly when he condemned his former brother as a traitor and attempted to use him as cannon fodder against traitor forces. During the subsequent [[Battle of Catallus]], Torghun was defeated by the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Palatine Blades]] prefector [[Ravasch Cario]] but as the traitor was about to deliver the killing blow, he was overcome by his own [[Daemonic]] corruption. The moment gave Shiban the opening he needed to slay the Prefector.{{Fn|2b}}
