Ahzek Ahriman

Ahzek Ahriman — Terran First Captain and Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons, a master of foresight, the first and last Chief Librarian of the XV Legion. At the Burning of Prospero he turned the Legion away from Magnus’s fatalistic submission and led the desperate defence of the home world; when Magnus fell in combat with Russ, the primarch passed on to Ahriman an enormous surge of his ethereal might and gave him the Book of Magnus.

After the Legion’s flight to the Planet of the Sorcerers he cast the Rubric of Ahriman to halt the unchecked mutation — reducing the non-psykers to mindless dust. For this he was exiled from the Legion and set out on the eternal path of seeking forbidden knowledge.
