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

Product Information

The Unforgiven had followed his trail for so long and had been so frustrated by his escape at every juncture that all efforts shifted from the battle and Tylius to apprehending Cypher. More than any other of the Fallen, Cypher has been a shadowy, cloaked assassin, leaving behind a trail of powerful victims, even though it is rarely Cypher who pulls the trigger. Whether he had been there first and brought in another Fallen or was working with the Mauler from the beginning is not known. Only when the black-armoured hulls of Ravenwing Land Speeders could be seen approaching the bunker at speed did the stranger duck behind the heaped piles of the slain and vanish. M41) - Little is known about this series of events, except that following several bloody battles the Red Corsairs vowed to slay Cypher.

Since splitting into Chapters, each successor was meant to remain autonomous, but the Dark Angels had always maintained more control over their progeny than was laid out in the tenets of the Second Founding - another secret they kept hidden.The Fall of Caliban was one of the last major catastrophes suffered by the Imperium during the bloody days of the Horus Heresy. Once again he eluded them, but not before leading them into an empty cathedral to the Emperor on a ruined and desolate planet.

The Space Marines descended from Lion El'Jonson have always been known for their well-crafted and flawless war plans, and the assault upon Brigia's best-defended fortress was no different. Unknown to any, they were also fortunate when the three members of the Inquisitional inquiry secretly tasked with reviewing the strange activities of the Dark Angels were lost due to a variety of inexplicable accidents. What followed was the worst single incident of losses suffered by the Unforgiven since the Forgotten Wars. Although the fight was fierce, and their quarry had likely already fled, the Unforgiven Chapters did not retreat.Conversely, there are numerous instances where Cypher has undeniably worked alongside forces of the Imperium. The blade of the knife can phase in and out of real-space by dimensional realignment, so it is capable of bypassing armour and protective fields.
