Overview
Sorcerors all, each Prodigal Son has chosen to follow Ahriman out of a desire to learn from him and potentially gain his power for their own, unaware that Ahriman has no intention of allowing a subordinate to learn his secrets or to challenge him in power, as he once did to Magnus, primarch of the Thousand Sons.[1a]
The most notable actions of the Prodigal Sons have been connected to Ahriman's attempts to gain entry to the Black Library of Chaos, such as the plundering of the library of Arcadia. During this incident they aided Ahriman in enacting sorcerous rituals as well as combating Harlequin guardians and Blood Raven interlopers.[Needs Citation]
The number of Prodigal Sons is unknown, but the force present with Ahriman on Arcadia was not much greater than "one or two squads".[1b] All present appeared to take after Ahriman in physical appearance, but in a less dramatic fashion; where the Sorcerer Lord's facial features appeared ever-changing and indistinct apart from his constantly-burning eyes, all of the Prodigal Sons simply possessed nebulous facial features that appeared to phase in and out of focus.[1c]
In addition to the actual warband, it is believed by at least some in the Imperium that the Prodigal Sons of Ahriman also include a network of allied magi scattered across space who are encouraged to both foster cult activity that would aid Ahriman's research goals but also potentially act as future warband recruits.[1d]
