Editing Ahzek Ahriman (section)

==Early Life==
Ahriman was born among the wealthy tribes of the Achaemenid Empire, whose kings had allied with the Emperor during the [[Unification Wars]]. His name and birth region indicate that he is Iranian. He was then inducted to join the [[Adeptus Astartes]] along with his twin brother, Ohrmuzd who was a respected Captain of the Thousand Sons (who later died of severe mutations, making this a clear reference to Ahriman and Ormuzd, the two Zoroastrian deities of light and dark—guess which one Ahriman is as his first name is derived from Zahhak/Azhi Dahāka in Persian lore). His brother's death traumatized him and motivated him to seek a cure against the flesh-change for himself and the Legion. He quickly rose through the ranks and became both Captain of the First Company and Chief Librarian of the Corvidae, one of the most powerful cults of the Thousand Sons.
