Ahriman from Thousand Sons legion...

"Sorcerer. Betrayer. Deliverer. Ahriman, former chief librarian of the Thousand Sons, is one of the most-skilled (indeed, perhaps the most-accomplished) sorcerers of the 41st millennium. When the mutating effects of Chaos became plain amongst the Thousand Sons legion, Ahriman cast the terrible rubric that reduced almost all his brothers to dust and deathless spirit. So did Ahriman earn his exile from the Planet of the Sorcerers. Now he wanders the galaxy, cursed to an obsessive quest for knowledge and power. This warped crusade has led Ahriman to cross swords with some of the mightiest heroes in the galaxy, and has brought him into constant conflict with any who hold arcane knowledge – most notably the Eldar Harlequins and the Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus."

Excellent piece. Outstanding work!

Just one very small note about his armour: Since you're keeping the Librarian horned skull on his right pauldron, as the Magister Templi of the Corvidae, Ahriman would have a black raven's head inside the ouroboros on his left shoulder pad. (Source: "A Thousand Sons" novel)

“Know this adept, for your journey has been long and you are to be trusted as few will ever be. Psykers represent Humanity’s future, the ideal creature into which mankind will evolve; a more powerful, more intelligent and more capable life form. As yet this race is weak, its members lacking the mental strength needed to face the dangers of the psychic universe. Were the new race of psykers permitted to develop free and unprotected, the whole of Humanity would soon be destroyed. We few who are privy to this truth have guarded it selflessly for nigh on four millennia, since the end of the great schism from which our order was born. It is our sole concern, for the very future of our race depends upon us, and us alone.” - Transcription of suppressed texts, from the archives of the Gethsemene Reclusium
