Merool Bil-Kader

Merool Bil-Kader, 'the Fireborn', was the last known Will Forger of the now-extinct Ashen Drakes Space Marine Chapter.

Background
The Fireborn is a key figure of the Chapter, being its Will Forger (Master of the Archivists) since the very end of M40, making him the oldest living Ashen Drake save those entombed into a Dreadnought Sarcophagus. His almost 1000 years of war have taught him much, especially in the refinement of his own powers. Bil-Kader is able to unleash potent psychic attacks to shatter the mind of his foes or to summon tempests of ghostly fires which consumes the very essence of those it touch.

Merool wasn't always well accepted by his Chapter, being rather aloof and distant ever since his youth on Inikar. Frightened by his own potential, he suppressed it for centuries and his character suffered for it, becoming irritable and lashing out easily at others, all the while struggling to accomplish is duty as a Forge Wrought. It was only in 263.M41 that he finally accepted his destiny. When he was trapped below a fallen Ork mechanical monstrosity with a Tactical Squad from the 3rd Company, his Battle-Brothers were badly suffering from the fires of the xeno warmachine. To save them and open a way through the tons of metal above them, the would-be Fireborn let loose his powers and carved a tunnel of molten metal in the carcass of the abomination. Afterward, he came to grip with who he truly was and has become a linchpin of the Ashen Drake strength.
