'''Rylanor''' was the '''Ancient of Rites''' of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Space Marine Legion]] active during the [[Great Crusade]].

Having served with the Great Crusade since its beginning, Rylanor was eventually wounded in battle with the [[Eldar]] some decades before the beginning of the [[Horus Heresy]]. Rylanor's life was saved by his conversion into a [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]. He continued to serve in his position of Ancient of Rites after his internment. As the Ancient of Rites, Rylanor held responsibility for overseeing the progression of Emperor's Children recruits from novice to one of Fulgrim's Chosen, and was also said to be able to perceive a lie the moment it was told. Normally stationed aboard the Emperor's Children vessel ''[[Andronius]]'', Rylanor maintained the Hall of Rites located there.{{Fn|1b}}

In truth, Rylanor endured and lived on the barren and quarantined world of Isstvan III for the next 10,000 years into the [[M41|41st Millennium]]. Driven insane by the isolation, Rylanor still managed to enact his revenge against Fulgrim. Constructing a [[psychic]] beacon to lure his gene-father to the planet, Rylanor detonated an unexploded [[virus bomb]] just as the [[Daemon Primarch]] tore the Ancient's organic form from his dreadnought shell. While Rylanor died spiting his Primarch, Fulgrim ultimately survived albeit with wounded pride.{{Fn|3}}
