History
Maugan Ra is said to be the only survivor from a minor expansion of the Eye of Terror which caught Altansar in its grip and sucked it in five centuries after the creation of the Eye of Terror. He stayed with his craftworld until it was sucked into the Eye. He is the Phoenix Lord of the Dark Reapers and wears a morbid suit of armour of his now destroyed temple - jet black with bleached white bone.[1]
During the 13th Black Crusade, Maugan Ra journeyed into the Eye of Terror and discovered that his Craftworld and its people had survived, even in the perilous domain of the Chaos Gods, and subsequently freed it from the Eye of Terror. He would later marshal the remains of his home to support the combined Eldar effort against the forces of Chaos. Despite the survival of Altansar, there was no celebration for the return of the long-lost Craftworld for its shadowy and curious ten-thousand year survival within the Eye of Terror was regarded with great suspicion and hostility by the majority of the Eldar race.[1]
Maugetar
Maugan Ra found, in his studies of warfare, that a weapon can be used as carefully as a scalpel, be it a blade or a ranged weapon. As such he created Maugetar (literally, "Harvester"), an ancient Shuriken Cannon with built-in Executioner.[1]
Notable Battles
On the planet of Stormvald in the Segmentum Tempestus, Maugan-Ra stood alone against a Tyranid swarm from Hive Fleet Leviathan and single-handedly triumphed.[2]
