đ€Personality
[He has psychological marks of the VII and XII]
At first look, Arshak would look like any other son of Curze, except for his white hair. He's calm and chilled most of the time, it's very rare to see him angry. Contrary to what may seems, he's quite open to others, he enjoys spending time with his brothers or with someone who he believes its worthy of his attention. Very stubborn, he refuses to yield even to fate itself. He values deeply new knowledge, he's very curious.
Differently from many of his brothers, he is quite a noble soul (compared to the average Night Lords) and strongly believes in the bounds of brotherhood, however in the 40M he has become way more ruthless.
He was and is right now deeply loyal to his Primarch, even millenia after his death. He will not stand anyone who dares to disrespect his name.
He is disgusted by the corruptions of the warp, as his father was, for he believes that only the weaks need to sell themselves to become stronger. As such, he feels disdain for many of the other chaos legions and even for some of his brothers. However, he does not hate psykers, instead he thinks psykics abilities can be very useful when properly used.
He has different options for each legions, even after the Heresy, so he usually acts according to them when he has to deal with his brothers.
đ©žPre- Heresy:
Arshak Skraidor was born of Nostramo, from a low noble family. The family itself is actually a minor branch of the more famous and prestigious family of the Skraivok (đđ» notable member: Gendor Skraivok).
The Skraivok family has deep roots in the story of Nostramo, but a few centuries before the arrival of Curze, there was an internal struggle between two brothers for the right to be at the head of the family. After years of assassinations and backstabbing, the brothers decided to separate from each other: one took the place of leader of the Skraivok family, the other slightly changed his last name into Skraidor, starting his own lineage. Nowadays, Gendor Skraivok knows of their family's history, while Arshak never really cared about it.
During the Crusade he rose to the rank of Captain of the 28th company and slowly began to become closer to the First Captain, also thanks to the various missions that saw those companies working together.
He personally met many members of the other legions, like Sigismund. In this regard, Arshak was probably the only Night Lord that the First Captain of the Imperial Fists didn't found morality disgusting. Quite the opposite in fact. See their first encounter and Sigismund's thoughts here: details + pic.
During this period, he fought along side with many of the other companies, like the 10th and the 8th, where belonged the legionary Dragan.
