Biography
By the time of the Octarius War Sahansun was elderly and kept alive through extensive bionic and rejuvenate treatments. However he had once been a young and aggressive Inquisitor known as a scrapper and brawler who fought on the frontlines alongside his agents. His methods proved effective at building a great many allies from Imperial Guard Generals to Imperial Navy Admirals to even Space Marine Chapters. In his later life he was badly wounded by Hrud and took several years to recover.[2]
Unlike many other Imperial observers, Nashir believed the Xenos conflict in the Octarius Sector would spill into nearby Imperium Systems. In order to prevent that from happening, the Inquisitor devised plans to create the Cordon Impenetra, which encircled the outer areas where the Octarius War was being fought. Nashir declared those Imperial worlds within the circle to be lost and then pushed hard for every Sub-sector bordering the Cordon Impenetra to fortified and reinforced.[1]
Sahansun continued to command authority during the Octarius war, but due to the selfish behavior of Fabricator-General Einrekh Phlagustok is considering abandoning Sigma-Ulstari.[3]
