Fel Zharost was the Chief Librarian of the Night Lords Legion during the Great Crusade.

History

Zharost was born on Terra, in the prison sinks beneath Albia. As a Terran born member of the Night Lords, Zharost noticed how his Legion changed, once they were reunited with their Primarch Konrad Curze and began recruiting from his Homeworld Nostramo. A poison born from that world began to degrade the Legion, as its numbers swelled with new recruits, and Zharost saw how these new Night Lords began to inflict torture and death for its own sake; rather than to advance the cause of the Great Crusade. He was not alone in this and a wedge formed between those Night Lords born on Terra, who argued for the Legion to return to what it once was, and those on Nostramo, who didn't consider these guardians of nostalgia to be part of their Legion. As the Crusade wore on however, the number of Terran born Night Lords dwindled and they were replaced with Nostramo recruits - ensuring the path the Legion was set on, could not be changed. By the time the Edict of Nikaea was given, there were few of the Terran Night Lords left and Zharost sadly noted that even they had begun acting just like their Nostramo counterparts.[1]

This all weighed heavily on Zharost's mind as he met with Jago Sevatarion, to determine his fate and those of the rest of the Night Lords' Librarium, after it had been disbanded following the Edict given by the Emperor. Sevatarion was not interested in making that judgement however, and showed little interest in the fate of the Librarians. Zharost would not be swayed though and persisted that Jago make a decision, as with their Primarch away being disciplined by his Brothers, Sevatarion was the highest ranking member of the Legion present and had no choice but to decide. Eventually Zharost's persistence angered Sevatarion to the point that he struck the former Chief Librarian, knocking him to the ground, and told him he would wear the sinner's red gauntlets and be cast out of the Legion. As Zharost picked himself up he was filled with anger, not at his fate, but at how far his Legion had fallen since being reunited with its Primarch. In his anger Zharost gave voice to this displeasure and told Jago of what their Legion had once been, but Sevatarion dismissed this as nostalgia from an old Terran Night Lord and turned his back on him. This dismissal enraged Zharost and he suddenly used his psychic powers to repeatedly strike Sevatarion; all while screaming that the Nostramos and their poisoned world, had killed the Legion. His attacks ended with a flash of power though, as Sevatarion used his hidden psychic abilities, to hurl Zharost away from him. The former Chief Librarian was not killed for his attack however, as Sevatarion simply told him to leave and never return.[1]

After being cast out from the Night Lords, Zharost returned to his birth home beneath Albia and hid himself away there from the Imperium. Years passed this way, until he was confronted by a Space Marine, who told Zharost he had come looking for him. Believing that the Space Marine was there to kill him, Zharost used his abilities to show his executioner his entire life, so that he could be properly judged for his actions. When he was done, he simply asked to able to see the light from the Sun one last time and once again used his powers to read the Space Marine's mind. What Zharost found in the Space Marine's memories shocked him, as he saw the end of the Great Crusade and the beginning of the Horus Heresy, which threatened to destroy the Imperium. Zharost let go of the Space Marine's mind and was told he was not going to be killed, but instead brought before someone who would determine what would become of him. Knowing now why the Space Marine had come for him, Zharost willingly left with him, to accept what he knew would be his fate.[1]

It is likely that Zharost ultimately became Khyron, a Night Lord who became a founding member of the Grey Knights.[2]
