Marneus Calgar begins to walk towards the opening hangar door when the man sporting black and silver power armour places his hand on Marneus' shoulder, the man then walks past Marneus but Marneus firmly takes hold of the man, pulling him back. Aggressively, the man shook off Marneus and elbowed the front plate of Marneus' Artificer armour knocking him back two steps. The man hit the back of his two hands together and got surrounded by a white fire. He then held out his right hand and the Renegade Dreadnaught shot a lascannon slug at the man, the shot disintegrated as soon as it made contact with the ignited hand. At that the man ran up to the Dreadnaught and punched into it. Picking the vehicle up and throwing it into the air, he shot it with his plasma pistol repeatedly. The Dreadnaught blows up, suddenly Marneus grabbed the man. "Who the hell do you think you are, Space Marine?" Marneus roared.
"Put me down, Marneus." The man replied calmly, his voice is somewhat deep and soothing.
"HUH… What if I don't, Lothorus?" The Fearless Chapter Master dared. Just then Lothorus punched Marneus in the chest forcing Marneus into a wall leaving another dent in the front of his armour. Marneus ran at Lothorus and threw a punch at him the man stopped the power fist-punch in mid air. Lothorus then used Marneus's arm as a lever to recklessly throw him into the opposite wall. Marneus roared, Lothorus just stood there when Marneus ran and punched Lothorus in the chest, hurling Lothorus through a Rhino APC and through a wall "DIE!" Marneus shouted in anger. All of a sudden the Rhino was closing in through the air on Marneus; Marneus reacted by punching the rhino and annihilating it, blowing Marneus on to his back with his armour now scuffed and further damaged. Marneus saw Lothorus standing there with his arms crossed, so Marneus got back up and stood in a fighting pose with Lothorus was slowly walking towards him. When Lothorus got close enough Marneus threw a punch which Lothorus blocked then another punch that Lothorus again blocked. At that Lothorus spins round and kicks Marneus in the side and once again causes him to stumble. Marneus regained composure and yelled "SHOOT HIM!" To the other Space Marines among the recruits who just witnessed Marneus get effortlessly beaten in hand to hand combat. The space marines all point their weapons at Lothorus, the hanger blast door started to close when Lothorus approaches the entrance. Marneus also points his own bolter at Lothorus' back until everyone is blinded by a white light emitted from outside. A number of inspired recruits who were tutored by this space marine quickly dashed after Lothorus into the coming snow storm, which often ravages Fenris.
The young and foolish are running up the mountain and into a blizzard when, one by one they began to collapse from the cold, thin air and the frost. On the verge of giving up the final recruit turns around and there stands Lothorus, with his arms crossed and unaffected by the cold. "You're going to catch your death out here." Lothorus said humorously just as the snow storm faded. "You're stronger than the rest it seems, too strong for to live under Calgar's wings." Lothorus adds. The remaining survivor then blacks out and collapsed at Lothoruss feet, but he seizes to shiver or feel cold at all. "Get him to the infirmary." Lothorus ordered, a and space marine with blue-grey armour takes the boy from Lothorus and takes him to the infirmary. When he wakes up he finds Lothorus at the end of his bed, "Where am I?" The boy croaks.
"Safe, you are reborn." Lothorus explained.
Still a boy, Mallefus begins his intense training as part of his induction into the Space Wolves. Lothorus refuses to take on any more students by the Space Wolves. Lothorus shares with Mallefus everything he can about combat and survival. One day Mallefus is undergoing teachings by Lothorus. "What chapter do you belong to?" Mallefus interrupts.
"I… belong to the Space Wolves." Lothorus answers dismissively.
"Your real chapter, we've been side by side for almost a year now. You want me to learn, so educate me." Mallefus rudely persists.
"I was a member of Thousand Sons." Lothorus quietly utters whilst watching intently of Mallefus' reaction.
"You're kidding?! But you are so close with the Space Wolves." Mallefus says in an attempt to understand.
"Yes, I turned my back on Magnus when Lemann Russ came with his armies on Prospero. Magnus was wise and could foresee the great heresy. The Emperor ordered him to be escorted to Terra to account for breaking the seal on the Webway Project." Lothorus explained.
"How did he break the seal?" Mallefus interrupts.
"Try not to interrupt me, have patience. The Webway was broken when Magnus sent a message via sorcery to the Emperor warning him. The Emperor saw this as an attempt to destroy his efforts to make warp travel obsolete. Magnus always had curiosity for the Elder Webway, and The Emperor always hated the use of Sorcery by Magnus. The Emperor sent Lemann Russ who was always against sorcery, so he took great pleasure in carrying out his orders. Though Horus also got in contact with Russ and ordered him to destroy Magnus, not escort him to Terra. The assault of Prospero took the Thousand Sons by total surprise. Raining death from orbit the Space Wolves destroyed the capital city, along with its libraries and all the hard-won knowledge sending Magnus into a deep melancholy. Upon landing on the planet the Space Wolves were met with fierce resistance but their ferocious attacks were slowly pushing the Thousand Sons back. Magnus then took to the battlefield and broke the assault with his great psychic powers, his gaze was said to turn even the staunchest Long Fangs to stone. Leman Russ moved to meet the Thousand Sons Primarch in melee combat. It was a battle of titanic proportion in which Magnus used his sorcerous powers to increase his already large size. At the climax of the battle, Magnus shattered Russ's breastplate with a mighty punch, puncturing one of the Primarch's hearts. As the giant was drawing his fist back for another strike, Leman clung onto his arm and when he was close enough, he kicked Magnus in his single eye. With Magnus blinded, Russ seized his opportunity to lift Magnus into the air and broke Magnus's back. In his moment of greatest need, Tzeentch came to Magnus and offered to save everything if he offered his fealty. To save himself, his Legion, his world, and all the knowledge he had accumulated, Magnus pledged himself to the Chaos God of Magic. His new patron's response was immediate. The City of Light was transported into the Eye of Terror. While Prospero was destroyed that day, Magnus and his Legion survived. By the time the the Thousand Sons were seen next, they had joined up with Horus on his way to Terra, and Magnus had become the most powerful of all Tzeentch's daemonic servants. I watched how Magnus allowed himself to submit to cowardice and become of the Chaos, whilst the Space Wolves fought with utmost valour. So I turned on the Thousand Sons, or rather I didn't turn to Chaos. Lemann Russ himself honoured me with a swift nod of the head after the battle had been won and I was then recruited by the Emperor as an Inquisitor of sorts. My role is to root out and eliminate treachery." Lothorus explains.
"So the white fire and hysterical strength is sorcery?" Mallefus asks.
"Indeed. Although most 'Wolves dislike Sorcery but they all admit it's tactical to have a sorcerer close by, especially one with my talents." Lothorus adds.
"Plus you do not mind getting your hands dirty" Mallefus jokes. Lothorus wasn't a warm man but he returned a hum and a small smile. A few days later Mallefus receives some interference from a fellow student, some would call it bullying. It erupts into a fight; the bully's tutor is standing by as if it was an assignment. Lothorus hears about it and rushes to the scene only to witness the tutor giving his student advice on how to harm Mallefus. This angered Lothorus intensely, so Lothorus grabs the tutor by the back of the neck and pins him to the bulkhead. The situation was resolved from there, and Mallefus never to be bullied again. Over time he developed an ill patience for bullies and irrational people alike, which would prove invaluable considering he would spend the best part of his teenage years in the company of other growing Space Wolves. Mallefus had not yet been given the gene seed and other Space Marine enhancements, he would need to pass a psychological exam as well as reach a certain fitness level prior.
One morning Lothorus had gone, disappeared. nowhere to be seen except a note stuck to a sword, which sat on Mallefus' foot locker. The note read. 'You are ready, I've left you two custom crafted Bolt Pistols and a Sword. You have sharp instincts, rely on them and they will keep you alive. We will meet again Mallefus.'
More months pass and Mallefus could not feel more alone.
Rank- Long Fang Captain, now training his own squad. He was called out to observe some unfamiliar creatures roaming around in the snow; he set out and took his scout squad with him.
As he arrived at the location an alien looking creature with four arms, stood at 6ft appeared out of the snow on a hill about 100 meters away, "what is that?" one scout said.
"That is trouble." Mallefus answered. He pulls out his favoured sword. But he stood there because he had a negative feeling. His scout squad was dragged under the snow instantly. Just then he relied on instinct and jumped up high, putting away his sword he pulls out his two bolt pistols and starts shooting.
When young Mallefus woke up he was in a bed being treated for stab wounds and slash wounds, he sat up and the apothecary is informing the healer of the young warrior's status. "He had taken out in total five squads; that's fifty Tyranids, 'Gants, 'Gaunts, 'Stealers and Rippers" the Apothecary said.
"How did you find him?" Another Space Wolf asked.
"He collapsed just outside the base; he climbed 2 miles up the mountain." The Space marine in blue-grey Scout armour explained.
"This is Lothorus' student. Lothorus once dictated that destiny has big plans for him" another Space Marine with black and red power armour said.
