==History==
Te Kahurangi was recruited from a [[Ocean World]] that was a recruitment world for a unnamed [[Space Marines|Adeptus Astartes]] Chapter, alongside his younger twin brother [[Chaplain]] [[Tangata Manu]].{{Fn|2b}} After Te was recruited by the Carcharodons, Tangata Manu was eager to follower in his older brothers footsteps and also was able to eventually join. This left the rest of their family defenseless, and they were eventually killed by the sea monsters of their native homeworld. Te blamed Tangata for their deaths.{{Fn|2b}} Tangata Manu was on a quest to recover a Chapter relic, the Dark Glass, for over 1455 years, making Te Kahurangi of a age older than that as well.{{Fn|2a}}
Te, alongside 3rd Company [[Captain]] [[Bail Sharr]], led a Red Tithe to the world of [[Zartak]] to seek the [[Psyker]] [[Mika Doren Skell]] before he could be captured by the [[Night Lords]] under [[Amon Cull]] and used as a sacrificial vessel for the [[Daemon]] [[Bar'ghul]].{{Fn|1b}} During the battle on Zartak, Te was captured by the Night Lords [[Sorcerer]] [[Shadraith]] and intended to be used as part of the summoning ritual.{{Fn|1c}} Before Te and Skell could be sacrificed, Amon uses the opportunity to betray and kill Shadraith, allowing Skell to escape and use Te's [[Force Staff]] to disrupt the [[Void Shield]]s of the Fortress. This allows the Carcharodons under Sharr to launch a teleportation assault, and in the subsequent battle Te uses his abilities to crush Amon Cull with debris.{{Fn|1d}} In the aftermath of the victory, Te accepts Skell as an [[Aspirant]] to the [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1e}}
