Zahariel El’Zurias

Zahariel El’Zurias — a Knight of the Order of Caliban and Librarian of the I Legion, admitted into the brotherhood by decision of a council attended by the Lion himself, Luther and the then Lord Cypher. He went with the Lion to Sarosh, led Luther’s reinforcements to Terra, where he fought to restore the Astronomican — and it was he who, left on Caliban, let the warp speak to him. Having killed the former Lord Cypher, he took his title and joined Luther’s rebellion.
