Khajaten Khan

Khajaten Khan was once the White Scars Chapter's Master of the Hunt, who in early M41 led a strike force in search for the Dark Eldar Haemonculi known as the Shatterling Prince.[1]

He eventually tracked down the creature in the Asmari System, where the Prince was raiding the system's vital Agri Worlds. Khajaten Khan would go on to defeat the Prince's Dark Eldar forces, but the Master of the Hunt could not locate the Haemonculi in the System. He would then discover that the Prince had been hidden in a Webway Portal located in the Asmari System, but despite the urging of the strike force, the Khan refused to enter the Webway. He knew of the fate that befell his Primarch, Jaghatai, and decided to a garrison of his forces to watch over the System, should the Dark Eldar return. Though his decision likely saved many of the strike forces' lives, it would cost Khajaten dearly. Less then a year later, the Khan was found dead within his mediation cell in the White Scars Fortress Monastery of Quan Zhou. His face was frozen in an expression twisted in horror and his throat was slit ear-to ear. No assailant was ever detected, but every mirror and window within three levels of Khajaten's cell shattered upon the moment of his death. The Prince's message was clear to the White Scars and a fresh hunt was launched, to at last bring the foul Haemonculi to justice.[1]
