Vic Sage Is My Favorite Character, I Hate Him

PART 1: COSMOS ALEXANDRIOS (Blood Raven):

Hair: Green (naturally, part of a mutation)

Eyes: Golden Yellow

History:

Cosmos was born on a lower-tech world, the second child of a young couple. When Cosmos, then Trill, was just a baby and his brother Kit was 6, the Black Ships came to his world.

When the Black Ships came, Magdelena and Karim Melthanora were among the tributes chosen to be presented to the Silent Sisters and the Inquisitors. They were part of a travelling carnival, which made hiding their psyker abilities much easier but not foolproof.

With whispers of them being Witches, they were targets. But when the Inquisitors came, Karim sacrificed himself to buy Magdelena and the children time to escape.

Kit had always been a strange, standoffish child, and the stress triggered a mutation that had lain dormant- Kit was a null. Not the most powerful, but in that moment, enough to shield his mother and little brother in the chaos from the prying senses of the Imperium.

They hid until Magdelena could find passage with traders offworld.

Kit's growing abilities as a Null made him incredibly valuable and Magdelena leveraged that as best she could and she swore she would find Karim, wherever he had been taken as she worked as trader and occasional smuggler.

They continued like this for some years, until Trill was about six or seven and Kit was nearly a teenager. The boys left with the captain of the ship they'd been travelling, Magdelena was caught up in a chaotic maelstrom when the world was attacked by the Necrons.

Believing Magdelena to be dead, Captain Jakob brought the ship out of orbit and escaped.

All the while Kit was learning to pilot a ship and developing his abilities to hide them in their travels, Trill's own psyker abilities were growing exponentially stronger. Perhaps it was because he was growing up in proximity to his brother's Null powers, but by the time Magdelena disappeared, Trill was already displaying remarkable gifts.

Jakob, not willing to turn the child over to the Black Ships, and unable to care for someone so young, convinced Kit that the best thing for his little brother would be to bring him to a group of Astartes that Jakob had developed a professional relationship with- a squadron of Blood Ravens led by Captain John Chrysostomos.
