 * Ezekiel Cornatus: "Ezekiel Cornatus is a very peculiar individual. He is a bisexual muscian that has had his life turned on it's head. Due to a series of unfortunate events and a streak of incredible bad luck he has gone from a care free musician to a revolutionary, a criminal and finally to a Rogue Trader."

 * Grim Doris: "Grim Doris is an Inquisitor of the Imperium. He is not part of any of the Ordos, but instead works with any them in different situations, though he mostly works with the Ordo Malleus. He is known to be an expert in all subjects as well as a loner. He hardly works with everyone and barely calls for aid due to his powerful psychic abilities. This is because of his secret: He is a Sensei, a son of the Emperor, who desires to destroy both the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy and bring forth the worshipping of the Star Child."

 * Lorenzo Drasus: "A very unconventional member of the Prophetic Forgiven and his own allegiances are slightly blurred. He is a powerful Beta-Level Psyker who has sworn to destroy the Daemon Syrath."

Primarch11

 * Bevid the Skull: "Bevid is a Chaos Lord of the Black Legion. He rivals Abaddon and sees him as an inferior being. He still, even today, cherishes Horus, his Primarch, a divine being and wishes to lead a mighty Crusade not just throughout the Imperium, but the rest of the galaxy and beyond for his Dark Gods."

 * Syrath the Immortal: "An ancient and powerful Greater Daemon who is the leader of an expanding cult which reveres him. He is accompanied by his insanely loyal Syrath's Warriors."

My Original Idea
While I was pretty wasted I had a brainwave. Now, I noticed Primarch11 is very keen in Grim and Zeke meeting. You are keen for Zeke and Syrath to meet, plus, at the same time, Primarch11 is also keen for Grim to meet Syrath (for a second time). And Syrath just happens to be interested in those Stones of the Gods... So... (can you see where I am going with this) what if we had an even bigger linking between Syrath, Grim and Zeke (and of course the Brotherhood of the Watchful Eye/Lorenzo Drasus which I've previously mentioned. Maybe the way in which Syrath encounters Zeke is by hunting down the Rogue Trader to get a stone (for Bevid). Thoughts? it's just seem too good an opportunity to miss in simultaneously linking three (large) articles together.

Supahbadmarine's Original Story- The Basis of this Blog
It goes a little something like this. Ezekiel while still a criminal and doing some piracy manages to get his hands on one of the Stones of the Gods. He takes it with him as an interesting bauble, not understanding what it is, or it's significance. A bit later Ezekiel comes across a planet that is under attack by the Syrath's Warriors. Defending the world is an Inquisitor of the Brotherhood of the Watchful Eye, with Lorenzo Drasus of the Prophetic Forgiven appreticing under him. While he is fairly sure he is simply going to get executed afterward, Ezekiel can't abandon the world to being violated by the Chaos forces. He comes in a nd helps turn the tide of the fight. During the battle the commander of the Chaos forces sees Ezekiel with the Stone and recognises it for what it is. Thanks to Zeke the CSMs are forced to retreat. Luckily for Ezekiel Drasus and his handler do not kill him. Instead they ask him if he could help them with dealing the a contingent of Syrath's Warriors that had been running amok in the area. Thanks to Zeke's numerous underground contacts he is able to give them the location of the CSMs local base of operations. In gratitude Drasus and his handler allow him to go free despite the warrant for his arrest, and tell hm that he should contact them should he ever encounter Syrath's minions again. Meanwhile the SW commander that escaped went back to tell Syrath what he had witnessed. Syrath takes a small, but well equipped Warband to secure the Stone, knowing that if he took a significant force it would alert the Imperium. Grim Dorisfinds out about this force through his intelligence network. The movements are too significant to ignore, but are not big enough to be an invasion. Thropugh further investigation Grim finds out about Zeke and the stone, and sets out to capture Zeke first. Grim is the first one to catch up to Zeke, but Ezekiel natural talent for dodging Inquisitors allows him to escape. While clearing the planet Ezekiel is caught by surprize and nearly captured by Syrath's ships. After getting away, and checking with his contacts, Zeke realises that he has caught the attention of two powerful and dangerous entities. He then begins a little game of Two-Cats-and-a-Mouse-in-Space with Syrath and Grim. He also contacts Lorenzo and his handler upon recognizing Syrath's involvment. Eventually Zeke is cornered by his two pursuers. It is then that Drasus arrives. Despite the best efforts of the Inquisition forces, Syrath manages to capture Zeke and the Stone. He then leaves to attempt to rendevous with the rest of his forces. Grim, Drasus and Zeke's men decide to join forces and pursue them in order to get the stone and rescue Zeke(which takes priority depends on the character in question). Meanwhile Zeke, after enduring hours of torture, convinces Syrath that he wants to join him. He then does his best to prepare for his escape, knowing that his men would not abandon him. The inquisition forces catch up and a battle starts. Ezekiel's preparations give them the initial advantage, but the Chaos forces are too formidable. Drasus, his handler and Grim engage Syrath directly. It was clear to Ezekiel that at this rate the battle was lost. He wanted to run, but felt bad about leaving the people who came to save him to die. So, while Syrath was distracted with the battle at hand, Ezekiel pulled a few cunning tricks, and turned the battle around. Syrath was forced to leave or suffer severe losses, which he was loath to do since he had killed the Inquisitor and nearly killed Grim and Drasus. After the battle Ezekiel gave Grim the Stone, commenting that it was more trouble than it was worth. In return Grim pardoned Ezekiel of his crimes, and gave him Warrant of Trade, clearing him of his wanted status despite the fact that this would make some enemies for Grim within the Inquisition. Ezekiel, Drasus and Grim part ways, swearing an oath of friendship between them.
