Vashkadai Qan

Vashakadai Qan is a Chaos Space Marine of the Shadow Reavers warband, leading the Brotherhood of bikers known as the Alacritous Host. Originally, he hails from the steppes of Chogoris and that world’s ancient defenders, the White Scars. Their love for speed’s thrill made him turn from the Emperor’s light and into the embrace of Slaanesh, leading three squads of his biker brothers tobecome a renegade speed cult. Roaming through realspace, the heretic Scars rode from planet to planet, attempting to overrun one another in competitions of sheer velocity. Killing anyone that threatened them, they would leave the planet when bored and go to ride and fight somewhere else.

Reaching the abandoned planet Skaldris, those that remained of the White Scars rode across its empty desert plains until the reawakening of the Necrons caught their attention. Assaulting stragglers along the planet’s canyons, they inevitably joined the Shadow Reavers in their struggle against the alien reborn. Becoming the sole survivor of his band during this battle, Vashkadai impressed the Alacritous Host with his brutality and maniacal swiftness to such an extent that they took him in and, after undergoing the pilgrimage to the Black Planet, declared him their Shadow Lord. Oiled, scented, and with moustache groomed, Vashkadai is boisterous, proud, and jovial in his simple cruelty and decadence. And every minute of the Reavers’ flaw, the loudness of it all, duplicated through implants is sweet, blissful pain-pleasure to Qan.

In battle, he rides atop his magnificent, sonic barrier-breaking bike Vector Rapientis, bearing the Mantle of the Helmounter, a primordial suit of daemonic armour. Atop the Rapientis is a flayed skin banner adorned with a Sigil of Corruption. Traversing so, Vashkadai strikes at his enemies with Lightning Claw and Power Fist.
