Background / History

Ogedei is a veteran White Scars officer who has fought for the Imperium and Jaghatai Khan for over two centuries. He served from Ullanor to Prospero and bears intense hatred for the traitors responsible for the deaths of his brothers. 10 12

Following the White Scars' internal conflict near Prospero, Ogedei's understrength Falcon Brotherhood was detached from the main Legion fleet. Jaghatai Khan assigned it to escort Apothecary and Magos Biologis Kunto Anastasio to Mars. 24

While traveling toward the Cheslatan system, Ogedei led a torpedo boarding action against the Sons of Horus frigate Gryphon. The enemy ship was destroyed in the resulting clash, but Ogedei's squad was killed and his legs were crushed beneath wreckage when the vessel crashed on Cheslatan. 11 24

Fu Qinghai found Ogedei trapped in the wreckage. After angrily affirming his loyalty to the Khan and the Imperium, Ogedei was subdued with a shock lance, fitted with a recovered life-support unit, and amputated his own ruined legs with a power sword. Fu then built a trailer to bring him back to the colonial outpost. 10

Despite his injury, Ogedei assumed command of Cheslatan's outpost, directed salvage operations, and re-established contact with the White Scars frigate Dagger. Talal subsequently recovered him and brought him back aboard the ship. 11 12

Appearance

Ogedei is a burly, imposing Astartes with a jowly face. After the Gryphon boarding action, he has no lower body and relies on a mechanical wheelchair. 10 19

• Wears battle-damaged White Scars power armor when operational. 11
• Lost both legs after they were crushed in the Gryphon wreckage. 10
• Retains the physical scale and presence of a Space Marine despite his disability. 11
• His armory displays an Ork Warboss's preserved head and other xenos trophies. 13

Personality

Ogedei is fiercely loyal to Jaghatai Khan and the Emperor. Questions concerning that loyalty provoke an immediate, personal fury, particularly because he has watched White Scars brothers die at the hands of their own traitorous kin. 10 12

He is blunt, demanding, and willing to disregard procedure when necessity demands it. Though recruiting Fu Qinghai violated Legion and Administratum rules, Ogedei considered the White Scars' wartime losses too severe to reject a promising candidate on bureaucratic grounds. 14 16

Beneath his harsh manner, Ogedei is protective of those he accepts as his own. He personally arranged Fu Qinghai's ascension, appealed to Kunto to maximize the surgery's chances of success, trained Fu relentlessly, and later entrusted him with representing the White Scars aboard the Sotharan. 15 16 32

• Continued combat training after losing both legs, wielding two heavy blades from a mechanical wheelchair. 19
• Performs extreme battlefield self-treatment, including amputating his own legs while relying on armor life-support systems. 10

After returning to Cheslatan, Ogedei immediately restores military order, oversees salvage work, and contacts the Dagger. His authority transforms Calvin and the outpost's residents into a more disciplined workforce. 11

Recruitment of Fu Qinghai

Ogedei takes responsibility for making Fu Qinghai an Astartes despite his non-Chogorian origin, lack of formal vetting, and the political risks of the decision. 14 16

Escort to Mars

Ogedei reveals that the Falcon Brotherhood's mission is to escort Kunto to Mars after the White Scars' civil conflict. He remains committed to this duty even as the Horus Heresy intensifies. 24 32

Alliance with the Ultramarines
