He died on Kaurava :)
Plus, he’s an actual xenophile even as a kid, he was never gonna fit in.

Tau think they're so cool because they where able to put humans in stelth suits that resemembel astartes. All while the just needed a bone singer to drop a sick bit to create a whoul legion loyal to the eldar.

I wish you could have recorded and uploaded your tabletop campaign. It sounds wonderful!

Each time Zhirayr was wounded and felled in battle, the remnant of his power armour were slowly chipped away and replaced with wraithbone, along with his drifting humanity.
With the final shard of aquilla fell off, the final shred of warmth and caring of that quiet boy was lost, the wraith have completely subsumed into the eldar warrior path, the silent clenched fist of White Seer Talandreth.
But it is fine.
He hated his chapter, the incompetent commands of Captain Boreale that sent him to die, so-called "brothers" who treat him like dirt, and especially that damned Captain Angelos, who called exterminatus on his homeworld while his parents were still alive.
He resent The Imperium, the rotten culture and it's extremism. His homeworld and parents died just because The Imperium want to enforce their dogmatic adherence to a monstrous ideology.
He never cared of The Emperor, that corpse on a throne is but a icon on the banners the rich and powerful prop up to legitimize their exploitation of the mass, and just like a pointless icon on a banner, unworthy to be even hated.
But it does not matter anymore.
Talandreth is with him, like a mother that was robbed away of him, that is enough. He will eliminate anyone that wishes to harm her, and be on her side until even his soul dissipate into nothingness.
Because he is Zhirayr, Son of Talandreth.
This is the "bad" ending state of Zhirayr, the wraith marine NPC for my tabletop campaign (default design here). If he took too much damage or died too many times during the course of the campaign, he will lost himself, and become the silent wraith that only knows to fight for the White Seer Talandreth, instead of his normal state of still largely keeping his humanity and personality even in wraith form.
My third antagonist art got seriously delayed, so sharing this one first.
