| - Menes Kalliston was the Captain of the 4th Fellowship of the Thousand Sons Legion and a member of its Athanaen Cult during the Great Crusade and the opening days of the Horus Heresy in the late 30th and early 31st Millennium. Captain Kalliston led a squad of Battle-Brothers to the ravaged surface of their homeworld of Prospero to seek for any signs of survivors or their Primarch, Magnus the Red. This occurred six solar months after the tragic events of the sanctioned Imperial campaign known as the Fall of Prospero played out. Imperial forces ravaged the Thousand Sons' homeworld following Magnus the Red's breach of the Emperor's Edicts of Nikaea, by flagrantly utilising the forbidden arts of sorcery. A squad of the 4th Fellowship led by Kalliston was taken by surprise when they encountered a much larger force of Traitor World-Eaters who were also on Prospero for their own nefarious reasons. In the ensuing conflagration, the majority of the squad was killed, and Kalliston was captured by none other than the infamous Assault Captain Khârn of the World Eaters' 8th Assault Company, who served as Equerry to the Primarch [Angron of the World Eaters. Kalliston was subsequently tortured and later killed in a confrontation with Khârn. Only Revuel Arvida, a Sergeant of the 4th Fellowship and a member of the Corvidae Cult, managed to survive.

Magnus saw the potential in exploiting the powers of psychically talented Astartes and was instrumental in the development of the Space Marines' corps of Librarians. The Librarians quickly proved to be loyal and effective warriors and soon acceptance by the Emperor and the Primarchs for their presence on the battlefield. Librarians soon became a powerful addition to the ranks of the Space Marine Legions.
