Among the Emperor’s sons, few are shrouded in as much mystery as Jaghatai Khan, the Primarch of the White Scars. Known as the Warhawk of Chogoris, Khan embodied freedom, speed, and the fury of the open steppe. His Legion fought like lightning itself, striking hard and fading before the enemy could react. Yet, like a storm that disappears beyond the horizon, the Khan himself vanished, and for ten thousand years, his sons have waited for the day their father rides again.
The White Scars: Stormlords of the Imperium
The White Scars stand apart from the rigid discipline of their brother Legions. Born from the nomadic tribes of Chogoris, they inherited their Primarch’s belief that strength lies in motion and that freedom is worth any cost. Their warcraft mirrors this philosophy: fast attack bikes, grav-speeders, and aerial assaults executed with poetic precision. Where other Chapters bring sieges, the Scars bring storms.
The Fate of the Warhawk
During the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, Jaghatai Khan was a loyal son of the Emperor, leading devastating counterstrikes against traitor forces and carving through the enemies of Mankind with unmatched speed. But his story after the Heresy takes a darker turn.
In the aftermath of the Siege of Terra, Khan pursued the Drukhari into a Webway gate during a campaign near the Maelstrom. He was never seen again. Some records say he fell in battle. Others claim he was taken alive, waging an endless hunt through the twisted realms of Commorragh. The truth, like the Khan himself, remains lost in shadow.
Legends of His Return
To the White Scars, their Primarch’s disappearance is not a death, but a journey. They believe he continues to fight deep within the Webway, locked in eternal combat against the xenos slavers who dared to strike at his sons. The Chapter’s warriors often speak of thunder in the void, of lightning seen in the depths of the warp, omens that the Khan still rides.
In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, when Guilliman has returned and the galaxy burns once more, the question echoes louder than ever: will Jaghatai Khan return?
The Rider in the Webway
Lore hints that the Khan may one day emerge from the Webway, leading a new crusade of light and motion to cleanse the corruption festering within the Imperium. His reappearance could reunite the scattered White Scars and rekindle the old ways, a Primarch reborn not as a statesman, but as a storm.
Until that day, the White Scars ride beneath their eternal cry:
“For the Khan and the Emperor!”
And somewhere beyond the veil, the Warhawk’s engines still roar.
