Var Jahan
Var Jahan was a Captain of the Night Lords during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1a]
An old veteran born on Terra, he fought in the Legion before the rediscovery of Konrad Curze and thus was more of a tactician than a murderer.[1b] Eventually rising to commander of the 27th Company, Var Jahan was one of only three surviving Kyroptera Captains after the disastrous Dark Angels ambush during the Thramas Crusade. During the arguments over what should be done following Curze's wounding at the hands of Lion El'Jonson, First Captain Jago Sevatarion and his Atramentar killed fellow Captains Malithos Kuln and Cel Herec. Var Jahan was spared, for he was smart enough to know something was amiss before Sevatar's purge had begun.[1a] Later, Jahan led the forces from the Excoriator when Curze ordered the Dark Angels' flagship Invincible Reason to be boarded. Var Jahan was either killed or captured by the Dark Angels during the ensuing battle.[1c]
