Sheed Ranko

Chaos Portal Alpha Legion

Sheed Ranko^[3]

Sheed Ranko was an Alpha Legion Captain of the Lernaean at the time of the Horus Heresy.^[1]

A loyal legionnaire known to accept any mission with total secrecy, according to an account given by Alpharius which is said to be a lie, Ranko was one of the Alpha Legionaries who worked closest with the Primarch during the days before his formal "rediscovery".^[2] Sheed was later assigned by his co-Primarch Omegon to destroy the Tenebrae installation on suspicion that it was leaking information to the Legion's enemies. Sheed drank Omegon's blood before the operation, taking the apperance of the Primarch and even gaining some of his memories. Posing as Omegon, Sheed successfully destroyed the facility in a one-way suicide mission.^[1]
