'''Ctesias''' is a member of the [[Thousand Sons]] and he was exiled by [[Magnus the Red]] for participating to the [[Rubric of Ahriman]]. He was a talented sorcerer who specialized in daemonolgydaemonology, particularly the controlling and subjugating daemons to his will. Being able to summon countless creatures from the Warp, he is a key element in [[Ahriman]]'s plan to attack the [[Planet of Sorcerers]] to enact the Second Rubric.{{Fn|1}}
While other sorcerers often controlled daemons by binding their names into hardcopy forms, such as grimoires, Ctesias is able to control daemons with mnemonic exercises. After learning their true names and committing them to memory, he "splits" such names into discreet segments that remain apart until he wishes to summons that daemon, effectively "forgetting" a true name he has learned until he wishes to recall it. Nevertheless, this activity seems to impact on his body and in fact he appears much more frail and old than other legionaries.
