BROTHERHOOD OF THE SERPENT THE VANGUARD COMPANY OF SARALUZEKH KHAN None embody the concept of asymmetric warfare better than the Azure Horde’s Brotherhood of the Serpent. Specialists in infiltration, Commander Greysight’s vanguard company arc masters of gathering intelligence and eliminating high value targets, with a cold appreciation for extinguishing the enemy’s resolve before the main attack commences. Of all the Brotherhoods of the Khuu Arga, the quiet, taciturn battle-brothers who serve under the Serpents banner bcly their mastery of any theatre of war in their charge. Where other Brotherhoods and Chapters prize martial skill, speed or overwhelming firepower; the Brotherhood of the Serpent value the cunning application of intelligence to produce the most effective solution to any given battlefield challenge. Many Imperial commanders have expressed their bitter disappointment (and in private, their relief) when news that an enemy’s entire command cadre has been eliminated by the Serpent Brotherhood before any Imperial forces have even been committed to battle. Others may boast of their personal prowess in the field, only to find the mainstay of the enemy force buried under tonnes of earth from a conveniently timed seismic charge, or suffering the devastating effects of consuming poisoned supplies. Such underhanded tactics arc despised by some, and yet the disproportionate results remain undisputed. The Brotherhood of the Serpent epitomises Primarch Guilliman’s vision of the vanguard battle-force, yielding a higher ratio of Reiver, Infiltrator and Incursor squads than any other Brotherhood in the Storm Sons, preferring the increased manouevrability afforded by the Mark X Phobos armour variant. Autonomy, initiative, and the careful application of force to the weakest links in the enemy’s organisation characterise the modus operandi of Commander Grcysight s vanguard company. The Brotherhood of the Serpent will not hesitate to employ their allies as useful operatives to serve seemingly obscure goals, or even as bait to draw the enemy out into the open before they are annihilated from afar. COMMANDER GREYSIGHT Saraluzekh-Khan, better known to the Imperium as Commander Greysight, is one of the Storm Son’s longest serving warriors; one of the few Firstborn to survive the Rubicon Primaris and lead the Khuu Arga in the Era Indomitus. Greysight’s tumultuous service begins with tragedy: the lone survivor of an Ork incursion on Deluge during the early years of M41, his Battle Company cut down to a man.The young battle-brother’s quest for vengeance would eventually lead him to the halls of Watch-Station Azurca in the Taurclian Expanse. Deeds of Greysight’s service in the Deathwatch are not recoded in the Chapter annals by order of the Ordo Xcnos Taurclius; although as a small concession, Grcysight was permitted to present the flensed skull of a Gcncstcalcr Patriach to the Shah-Khan, to be gilded and placed with honour in the vaunted chambers of the Storm Sons’ fortress-monastery. Following his return to Nakaris, Grcysight was elevated to Master of Aspirants by the will of the Stormseers, and this experience would prove vital in evacuating the irreplaceable Primaris Genesis Engines with an entire generation of Neophytes relatively intact as the Sunsitai was besieged by the forces of Chaos. Leading the scouts, Greysight’s force delayed the enemy, cutting off access to the fortress’ main armouries, sabotaging the war forges to distract the foe, whilst scorching the hallowed halls of Sunsitai as the remaining serfs and Astartcs evacuated their ancestral home. On the bridge of Kbagan's Wrath, Grcysight s heart turned to ice as he watched the virus bombs consume Nakaris - the second occasion in which he would witness the near eradication of his geneline. In the desolation of deep space during the tumult ofTomukher s Folly, Greysight’s fortune would change once again at the resulting Grand Kurultai: an unexpected appointment to the rank of Khan. In the fires of the Khuu Arga’s reforging, so to would Grcysight be remade, undertaking the agonising surgeries of the Rubicon Primaris. Ever the pragmatist, Greysight’s first act as Khan was to raise the surviving scout cadre to full battle-brother status, taking the former name of his first Ordu, and so the Serpent’s banner became one with the newly raised Azure Battlcflcct. THE HIDDEN BLADE The Noble Pursuits are an ancient tradition descended from Chogoris, said to be encouraged by the Khagan himself: the application of an Astartes superior genetic legacy to activities other than war-making, such as hunting, calligraphy or verse. Commander Greysight’s own musings have been distilled and collated into a popular treatise distributed amongst the Hordes. Known as 7be Hidden Blade, the treatise imparts the essence of the Serpent Brotherhood’s own martial traditions with the more esoteric philosophies of the Khuu Arga. Those with the patience to pierce its esoteric aphorisms arc rewarded with insight into the mind of a cunning warrior who has elevated war into an artform. 12 ‘To WIN A THOUSAND VICTORIES IN A THOUSAND BATTLES IS NOT THE PINNACLE OF SKILL. To DEFEAT YOUR ENEMIES WITHOUT DRAWING YOUR SWORD IS THE PINNACLE OF SKILL — Commander Greysight, The Hidden Blade, M.42
