Chengrel is a Chaos Lord and Dreadnought of the Iron Warriors, ruling over the worlds of the Mitre Gulf from his Fortress World of Burjan's World.[1]

History

A veteran of the Long War, Chengrel took part in the Siege of the Emperor's Palace in the Horus Heresy. Millennia of battling the Imperium has taken the toll on his body, which was heavily augmented by bionic and mechanical replacements. By M41 his remains were housed in a massive, custom-built, four-legged Dreadnought. Chengrel is noted as having burned the Imperial Hive World of Heggoru, which was under the protection of the Imperial Fists, a Chapter Chengrel despises like most of the Iron Warriors.[1]

After acquiring a large number of Eldar Spirit Stones, Chengrel held a great auction among the Chaos Space Marines to decide who would obtain them. Those interested were Hodir of the Night Lords, Emmesh-Aiye of the Emperor's Children, Drachmus of the Word Bearers, and Khrove of the Thousand Sons. The lord who spoke the greatest tale of destruction against the Imperium would win the prize, though to Chengrel's disgust it turned out that none of the Chaos Lords gathered were Horus Heresy veterans, original members of the Legio Astartes, or particularly interested in finishing the Long War. Rather, they had all been forcibly recruited or conscripted into their Legions' forces in the ten thousand years since the Heresy. Worse still, most of their tales involved fighting other traitor legions rather then waging the Long War against the Imperium. Not thinking any of them worthy of the Spirit Stones, Chengrel flew into a rage and attacked his fellow Chaos overlords after a show of disrespect towards his him and his attitude. A great free-for-all erupted in Chengrel's fortress that saw many Iron Warriors dead, along with the death of Emmesh-Aiye, the escape of Drachmus and the wounding of Hodir. Chengrel viciously battled against Khrove in single combat, but the Sorcerer managed to deal Chengrel a humiliating defeat and escape Burjan's World with the Spirit Stones. Since then Chengrel has lost much prestige and many Iron Warriors have left his service, while he plots revenge against the legionaries that he is convinced have betrayed him.[1]
