Cypher: Lord of the Fallen (Warhammer 40,000) [Hardcover] French, John

Product Information

While in pursuit of the remnants of an Ork fleet, elements of the Angels of Vengeance entered the Gothic Sector. Sometimes these interrogations are conducted by Inquisitors or their agents, while at others Chaos Space Marines seek more knowledge about the cryptic figure that weaves in and out of their strongholds. Hiding the signs of extensive genetic modification is not easy, and the Unforgiven are trained to investigate legends of humans with superior abilities. But despite this, they began to fear Cypher –- fearing what he perhaps represented, fearing what he reflected back upon themselves and fearing that he was nothing less than their own doom made manifest.

That region was notoriously unstable and dangerous, and to enter it they would have to navigate around temporal eddies, space anomalies and perhaps Chaos Space Marine battle fleets. A self-proclaimed oracle of the Emperor himself, this individual begins to broadcast across the Agripinaa Sector. Not even Marbas, who alone of the Fallen has been raised to a Daemon Prince, is regarded with such rage. In this, they were greatly aided by the distraction caused by the largest Ork invasion recorded in the Imperium and the political upheavals of the Beheading, when assassins struck at the High Lords of Terra. Those young enough to survive the ordeal received the full gene-seed implant, while others –- like the arch-traitor Luther -– were otherwise augmented into elite soldiers.

More deadly than the most highly trained master saboteur, Cypher's appearance in even the most benign of situations has wreaked havoc that has changed the course of major wars. With precision timing and deadly accuracy, the Unforgiven made headway through the outermost defences, working their way inwards. As no fighting formation carried the war against the rebels forward with more furious resolve than the Dark Angels, no one pressed the grieving warriors too closely. They relate a tale of how a cloaked stranger fought his way aboard their flagship, the Black Needle, claiming parley. Some believe that Cypher follows some vast plan that no other can guess, save perhaps the Emperor Himself.

Each of the Dark Angels' Grand Master of Librarians has, in successive turns, tried to wring meaning out of those ancient parchments. He has operated countless times alongside planetary defence force battalions, Imperial Guard regiments and Space Marine Chapters. More damning still, however, is the fact that no matter where in the galaxy Cypher surfaces, it is only a matter of time before the Dark Angels or one of their Successor Chapters follow.That their long and winding path through the Gothic Sector might end without satisfaction was unbearable. Cypher has been seen alongside kill teams or even entire armies, although whether he is truly a member of the force or even their commander can never be properly ascertained.

Upon taking the title, the Lord Cypher renounced his own name, enshrouding his very appearance beneath cloak and hood. Cypher is one of the Fallen Angels of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter, and one of the members of that Loyalist Chapter believed to have turned to Chaos during the Horus Heresy in the early 31 st Millennium. Since that time, the elusive Fallen known as Cypher has been on the run, eluding capture for nearly ten thousand standard years. Others, however, would be appalled to realise whom they have aided, and have been duped by an erstwhile ally who is not all he seems. Regardless of whether other factions arrive to ask questions, the Dark Angels always turn up along the trail.Because of his unknowable motives, and because of his supernatural ability to escape time and again from their clutches, the sons of the Lion began to regard Cypher with growing wariness.

Although difficult to measure with precision, it is estimated that its location amidst the dust-ridden clouds of debris would approximate be where their homeworld of Caliban once was. Although Cypher's actions appeared to be supporting the goals of Chaos during the 13 th Black Crusade, his influence had a polarising effect, increasing Imperial faith in the Emperor of Mankind as much as rallying anti-Imperial Chaos Cult fanatics, along with drawing the Dark Angels into several conflicts where their assistance was of great benefit to the Imperial war effort.M41) - While observing the Ravenwing and Deathwing work in conjunction to capture a prisoner, Inquisitor Rasputin believes he has, at last, solved the riddle of the Dark Angels. Yet Cypher alone was able to locate the Overfiend's fortress, penetrate its defences and gun the miscreant down -- instantaneously freeing billions from Tyrannex's unnatural subjugations.
