Logan of the White

Logan of the White, previously Thomas Brooks before begin abducted by the Emperor of Mankind. Commonly called many names across the universe, he is the renowned leader of the Lupex Empire and the Sons of White legion. Logan was also a member of the New Vision Rebels more so towards the time of the Great War when the NVR swapped from being a crime fighting team to a galactic threat.

In his later life he has remained in the shadows, even from the greatest of watches (myself the Writer included)

Younger Life
Logan was in fact born Thomas Andrew Brooks, a human born to a high born mother and a common father. Not given the chance to grow up as a normal child, his parents were offered a large sum of money for the boy to be placed in the care of the Emperor of Mankind, but when they declined they were imprisoned and he was taken without payment. He grew up slowly for his first year in the work chambers of the Emperor deep under the Himalazian Mountains. It was here that he was genetically modified and then cloned into 19 other individuals which then each were slightly varied.

The Ruinous Powers somehow spirited the superhuman children that the Emperor had created, away through the Warp, leaving them scattered across the galaxy. A massive localised Warp rift was created within the gene vaults of the Emperor's own palace, deep under the Himalazian (Himalayan) Mountains on Terra where the Primarchs were gestating. The gestation capsules containing the Emperor's unborn sons were scattered through the Warp to human colony planets long since lost to Mankind. Brooks landed upon a planet outside of the galaxy known as Sollem, in a neighbouring galaxy known as Eai and it was here that his life started

Life on Sollem
Sollem was not a planet inhabited by humanoids and instead large reptiles dominated the hot jungle landscape of the main continent. To remain alive the young Logan was forced to spend his accelerated childhood hunting from the shadows and scavenging on what little he could. Four years passed as Logan remained on Sollem, but he was spotted by an imperial scout ship that brought him upon board and examined the strange barely alive human. They planned to take the individual that they gave the nickname Logan to Terra so that he could be examined but the captain did not want to change their course and an order to progress to their destination as fast as possible gave Captain Jamie Greason the excuse to throw Logan overboard as they passed through the atmosphere of the near by planet.

Arriving on Lupas
Logan's young teenage body burned up as he descended to the icy west of Lupas. Nearly immediately extinguished by the deep snow that he landed in, a landing that would have killed a lesser man with the earth exploding slightly around him. At this time it was unknown to Logan that he had landed on the eastern continent of Lupas, Astelikin, in the centre of the deadly Lupex wolves hunting ground.

Two adolescent wolves sprung at the opportunity of injured prey but they were overwhelmed by the vast, yet uncontrolled, power of Logan. Other wolves decided not to intervene in this killing machine's life anymore but hunters that came from Paros to hunt the wolves approached without hesitation that cost them their lives. Word reached the White Kingdom that had sent the hunters, who assumed it was a larger than normal Lupex wolf, causing them to send a large party of hunters. Of this party none survived their encounter with Logan, but Agnar the killer, a bounty hunter, followed the party and quickly surprised and subdued the enraged Logan.

The White King's Judgement
Logan was put before a court in the White kingdom for his crimes against the people of White that he had killed. The king of the White kingdom, Vaslof White, was beloved by his people for he showed his love for them in every decision that he made. He was beyond anger when the trial of Logan began, "no intruder to our lands dare commit the monstrosities that shall haunt your conscience and expect to go severely unpunished. You shall die a painfully slow death if you last through the trial that the Gods permit." Lupas and the White Kingdom worshipped and feared the gods (though they did not worship the real living Gods and instead their own manifestations of them), so for this reason they waited for the weather to determine the method of trial.

The next day brought a storm and so preparations for all current individuals on trial were made so they could compete in the Beckoning. The Beckoning was a traditional method of trial where all convicted waited for trial were placed into a pit where they would fight to the death while also hoping to win the appeal of the selected crowd. The Beckoning did not decide the innocent but instead he who the gods wanted to walk free.

The Beckoning
Logan stood in a cage like an animal, trapped next to four other also caged beasts. Each was much larger than him and a small man stood in the middle of an oval pit ahead of him amplifying his voice to the thousands of spectators suspended out of reach from the pit. In the centre of the sandy pit floor lay a heap of wood and steal that would soon be used to help decided the victor. Only recently waken from a drug induced sleep, the sudden burst of noise from the announcer rung Logan's ears, "The first criminal hear before your judgement tonight is the killer from the east- Logan the Ripper! Besides him we have the brutal ball of muscle Glorn, killer of seventeen." The air was warm and Logan could feel his heart beat in his head as the announcement continued. "The ex bounty-hunter that killed four in Paros, Olara Sudyn and in the cage to her right, the fierce, the detested, the former winner of the Beckoning, the mass of power, killer of two-hundred and ninety seven, Og." The crowd's mood turned from low hatred to incredible anger when the announcer spoke of Og, but the near seven foot man stood still in his cage. " and the final to enter the Beckoning, leader of the hollow tree cult and directly linked to nearly a hundred murders of Lupas' people, Hyakr the Hunter."

The crowd died down as twenty or so individuals appeared in the centre of the pit and began chanting in tongues Logan did not comprehend but dancing in ways that he did, a dance of death and war. The dancers left and drums thudded through the air and sand alike. All the six men covered in only small ripped loin cloths and separated by only steel bars, until they weren't.

Quicker than the rest Logan sprung through the open door but was grabbed as he passed Glorn, the scrap distracted none of the rest as they ran for the central weapons. Og dispatched of Hyakr quickly as an axe he'd picked up smashed through his collar bone and rib cage, leaving Hyakr a mess of bone and flesh on the floor with an axe sticking out. Glorn turned to look at the cause of the cheer from the crowd, also to spit out part of Logan's shoulder he had torn off, but this gave Logan a chance to shake the large man and use momentum to swing him into the brick wall. Og and Olara clashed as Logan scrambled for a spear, using it to deflect the attention of Og's new hammer as he swapped opponents unexpectedly.

Olara moved to the stirring Glorn, pining him against the wall like a hunk of meat before unloading into him with his fists. Og and Logan circled each-other, hammer and spear in hand. Logan began swinging his spear showing off and attempting to distract his opponent, but to no success as Og's hammer collided with Logan's skull sending chunks into the crowd and his body limply into the sandy floor. Og and Olara charged clashing heads and weapons at once, however Og's momentum caused his hammer to knock Olara's greatsword from his grasp. Og began to lift Olara into the air crushing his windpipe in the process before a crack echoed through the arena and Olara's life left his body.

Slowly as he shook his hammer and fist to the angered crowd, Og stepped towards the last living opponent, Glorn. As he rose his hammer to finish the event, a spear hit him in the back, pushed all the way through and pierced between Glorn's unconscious eyes. Logan sliced the back of Og's knees causing the huge man to fall. Helpless with a spear through his chest and on his bleeding knees Og saw Logan lean over and slice his throat.

Freedom
As by the judgement of the gods, Logan was a free man, he won the battle and the appeal of the audience so was given his freedom. However, the king and most of the subjects still saw Logan to be a killer so he was avoided and looked down upon. Logan was mostly unphased as most of his life previous he had been alone as he scavenged for survival on Sollem. Now in a city of life he had freedom and the opportunity to do nearly anything, but knowledge was his goal for he had next to none of most things.

After finding log chopping work for a few days, he gathered his income and searched for someone that could teach him all he wish. An old lady offered her wisdom and teachings to Logan but she would not accept his money for it was the only thing he had.

A year and a few months passed by as Logan continued to learn from this lady, becoming her brightest student, surpassing some of the greatest intellectuals in the near galaxy. He learnt of history, of tactics, of maths and the sciences, of languages and the economy. His learnings were not limited to conventional means and extended as far as the questions he asked. She taught him everything he would know and they loved each other like parent and child; she was to old to be his parent (for he had only been alive for nine year despite his appearance of being in his early twenties) maybe they loved each other like grandparent and child.

The Night of Becoming
Life was good for Logan yet most still saw him as a low life murder, not worth any fraction of themselves, but they were forced to reconsider when he selflessly saved half of the royal family. As Logan wondered the streets looking for a place to sleep he hear chaos come for the east side of the castle. Upon arriving at the source of the noise he saw a huge opening in the wall and several giants lumbering towards the chambers of the queen and princesses. Hastedly, Logan chased after the giants, keeping to the shadows so not to be caught.

As the crashed into the room of the Queen, all in the room backed away attempting to avoid the wreckage the giants were causing. Logan picked up a broken rock and tossed it off to the right of the giants causing a brief distraction that allowed him to pick up a near by sword on the wall, run up on giant back and plunge it deep into its head. The other giants reacted with rage taking out half of both the ceiling and floor as they swung their fists and clubs at the tiny man. The speed of Logan proved he downfall of the clumsy slow giants as one by one he took them all out in an increasingly brutal manner using any weapon and advantage he could get his hands on, while leaping around to avoid being hit.

As the last giant fell after Logan had choked it with his legs while being sat on its shoulders, the Queen and her three daughters emerged to find the uninjured Logan cleaning the sword and playing it back on the wall display. Shaken they spoke to him and he explained his life and his experiences and why and how he had saved them. The king returned the next day and his wife shared what she had learned about Logan and he was pardoned for his crimes.

The Rise
For his bravery on the night of becoming, Logan was awarded a place in the military, a house and a constant payment for his tutor. Over time his skill and prowess saw him rise through the ranks until he was Commander of the Army and head tactician. No more honour could be given to him as over YEARS he had received them all, all except one. The highest honour in Paros culture was to be adopted by the lords of White as their own child. So on his supposed birthday, after returning from clearing raiders from the west Logan was presented with a ceremony of his adoption, naming him Logan of the White.

As the only adoptee of the White family, Logan was the lowest of the three daughters and two brothers yet he still had authority especially in their absense. On one of these occasions a hooded shady individual came before his council proposing that Logan should bow to him for he was a great empire of his home land and also his father. Outraged by the man’s remarks, Logan stepped down from the stone throne of where he sat and demanded he prove his words.

The fist fight was long and drawn out with Logan landing the majority of punches, but the power of the Emperor struck true, knocking White out with a straight right. The two cleared the hall and spoke for hours coming to the agreement that White would travel with the Emperor to Terra so he could learn more once his family returned.

The Imperium of Man
Logan landed on Terra after three years of space travel through the warp, with a gradual rest as the Emperor discovered Manus. On Terra Logan explored the home of the Imperium

War of the Wolves
The Space Wolves were ordered by Malcador the Sigillite to carry out the judgement of the Emperor of Mankind on Logan of the White and his legion after his rash actions at the Siege of Terra. Leman Russ and his wolves has previously been the executioners of a similar sentence placed on the XI legion, who were expunged from all record. However, unlike the XI legion, the Sons of White were informed of the orders by Rogal Dorn giving Lupas time to prepare.

Twelves full days passed before Leman arrived with seventy-five thousand Space Wolves. The Sons of White, even though they were superior in numbers, they had to fight for their survival. It took four assaults from the Wolves to break into the atmosphere, giving the Sons time to set up three formations; one defending the Caelum Canis, one spread to the west and the last to the barren east. Leman sent a force after each of the formations, himself heading for Logan and the Caelum Canis.

The side forces feinted an attack and retreated to the western and eastern castles of the Distant and the Shard respectively, there they held their defence and defeated the Space Wolves. These forces then left their posts and flanked the assault on the Caelum Canis, that at that point was in the favour of Leman Russ' legion. The flanking force came with heist and smashed through the back lines breaking the assault and as the Caelum Canis force charged the Space Wolves were surrounded in a bloody crossfire. Logan of the White met Leman Russ in one and one combat and the sky cracked with each blow they stuck on each other, the weather changed to a heavy storm as the blood on the ground turned the mud red. Leman looked around and saw his people falling, he could feeling Logan getting the upper hand in their battle as every hit put him closer to unconsciousness.

Leman dropped to one knee raising his axe into the air just as Logan was about bring his spear into his chest. The combat paused instantly and Logan offered a hand of peace for his surrendered brother. The battle of the wolves was over and the Sons had prevailed. The Treaty of Fratres was signed to build secrets to protect the freedom of the Sons of White.

Appearance
Logan is a broad-shouldered, handsome human male with dirty blonde hair that is shaved short on the back and sides but blends up to a mass of longer hair on the top. His blue eyes always shine with a sad glistening in the centre if his defined face with a sharp, chiselled jawline and sculpted cheekbones that are emphasised by his bright smile of pearl white teeth. His skin is always surprisingly tanned, considering that Logan spends a lot of time on ice worlds it is strange that the melanin in his skin keeps him at a continuous bronze level that wouldn't be out of place on a beach on a dessert planet.

Logan is an above average sized man but this means he is the smallest of the Primarchs at only 6 foot 4 (8 foot 4 in his armour) yet despite being the smallest, Logan's physique is to a level beyond even the finest athletes. His body is nearly always on show as his body temperature does not warrant the use of clothes even on ice planets. His ability to stay warm is also boosted with the thick body hair that he has on his body.

Personality
Logan White is and always has been intensely complicated. At first glace, outsiders may perceive him to be arrogant, narcissistic, and sarcastic, all of which he is. He is extremely arrogant about his own abilities but not without cause, even his enemies admit that he is arguably the greatest living warrior and tactician in the universe with few able to match him. The areas of which Logan was not naturally talented, physical or mental, became his areas of training. He is seen as a brave and righteous hero by his fellow soldiers, at times however he can appear very impulsive and quick to act without thinking yet people that know him well understand he is a master tactician and always has a plan.

White has a very morally grey personality, with no problem of disregarding other people, yet he can be very kind and loyal to his close friends. It is known that Logan is not above doing the wrong thing for the right reason and more often than not acts in a violent and questionably manner. He has a wild, animal-like nature to him, being perfectly at home in the wilderness, and a savage rage which he tries desperately to control, sometimes even being seen as a soft, kind and caring individual that loves the warmth of friendship.

Logan is actually very comedic and one of his most prominent traits is his sense of humour. He is seen as the class clown in every group he is in. Even in the face of certain death, Logan invariably cracks a joke, to the annoyance of both friends and foes. Behind this humorous façade; however, is a wounded soul that has gone through an unimaginable amount of suffering. His personality shocks most when they meet him as they expect him to be a serious warrior that's only love was himself and war when in actual fact he is a playful, affectionate joker that can sometimes be perceived as a bit of a show off.

Abilities
Logan was born a gifted child at birth but it was the experimentation by the Emperor of mankind that genetically enhanced him to the level far beyond that of any human. It is recorded that Logan was capable of lifting around 100,000kg, a number that increased drastically when wearing his war suit meaning he is able to lift a huge amount more, during the siege of Priion he lifted a boat weighing 3,200 tonnes so that some Imperial guards could pass. As well as his strength, Logan's speed and stamina is superhuman.

Speed is one of Logan's most effective weapons, he is both fast in terms of running and fighting. While in a human, Logan can run at speeds of up to a maximum of 40mph, but transformed into his wolf form he has an average speed of 75mph. Despite this Logan is a relatively slow Shapeshifter. While fighting Logan can throw a punch at around 15m/s and a kick 20m/s meaning the force he fights at is beyond most in the universe. Additionally, Logan's musculature generates considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human being, granting him superhuman levels of stamina in all physical activities. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several days before fatigue takes over.

Far superior to those of even the finest human athlete Logan's reaction time is at around 0.1 for visual stimuli, 0.08 for auditory and 0.05 for touch. Logan's ability to avoid danger is drastically improved by his agility, flexibility, balance and coordination that dwarfs even the finest human athletes. However if he is unable to avoid it, Logan's bone and muscle tissues are genetically engineered to levels that are considerably stronger and harder than human and the tissues are impervious to injury to an extraordinary extent. He possesses a golden-proportioned body, and even without training his muscles are brawny and his body shape doesn't change no matter how many calories he intakes.

White possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He can see at far greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. He can retain this same level of clarity even in complete darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to detect sounds ordinary humans couldn't hear at a greater distance, enough to hear a gentle footstep in another room that has thick walls with enough focus. He is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent with an extraordinary degree of success. These senses stem from his already enhanced Primarch abilities being combined with his supreme shapeshifter senses.

As a Primarch, Logan was not meant to become a shapeshifter as he did so the two sides morphed together. The process was painful and long, having strange effects on his body including the development of slightly curved bone claws that retract from his knuckles. The claws were made of bone, unlike the claws of normal mammals which are made of keratin, and are sharp and dense enough to slice through substances as durable as metals, wood, and stone. Also as a Primarch he was cellular immortality but sought out three different wizards to bless him with true immortality.

At one point in his life, Logan killed a God of death, the ruler of the underworld, proving himself more worthy and thus replacing him. Control over the fires of the underworld not only proves as a weapon but a means of a portal to travel. More benefits such as his ability to compel others with their enhanced pheromones, makes Logan's job of punishing evil easier and seemingly more enjoyable for him. On occasions Logan's animal like rage mixes with his Godly power putting many beings and entities in danger, a telling sign of this mix is the blackening of skin around his eyes though this has happened at other times of rage as well.
