Baleq Uthizzar

Baleq Uthizaar was the Captain of the 5th Fellowship during the latter days of the Great Crusade and the beginning of the Horus Heresy in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia following the death of Apophis during the bloody Kamenka Troika Campaign against the Orks. He also served as the XV Legion's Magister Templi of its Athanaean Cult. Following the Council of Nikaea where the Emperor proclaimed a Decree Absolute against the use of psychic powers and continued forbidden study of the arcane, Magnus continued to dabble in the arcane despite his father's decree. When the Primarch failed to save Warmaster Horus's soul from being corrupted by the Ruinous Powers, he utilised his own psychic abilities to get a message to the Imperial Palace on Terra by directly contacting the Emperor mind-to-mind, though this ruptured the Palace's considerable psychic defenses and killed thousands of people whose minds were unable to handle Magnus' potent psychic call. But the Emperor refused to believe that his favorite son Horus would ever betray his trust and so he assumed that it was Magnus who had been corrupted by the Chaos Gods since he was once again using the sorcerous powers that had been banned by the Council of Nikaea. Believing that Magnus sought to sow dissension in the Imperium to serve his masters in the Warp, the Emperor ordered the Space Wolves Legion to go to Prospero and bring back Magnus to Terra. When Uthizaar discovered the inevitable attack by the Space Wolves, he was shocked that his gene-sire would withhold such information from his sons, he confronted his Primarch with the truth. Remorseful at his actions and resigned to his fate, Magnus could not allow Uthizaar to reveal the truth, and so killed him with his powerful psychic abilities.
