First Captain Forrix[4b]

Kydomor Forrix was a Warsmith and member of the Trident, later a subordinate Captain of an Iron Warriors Grand Company under the command of the "The Warsmith" until the Siege of Hydra Cordatus[1a][1a].

History

Originally born on Terra as Kaidomo, Forrix waged the Great Crusade without his Primarch for many years. After being reunited with Perturabo, he saw Olympia as his spiritual homeworld and was soon one of the last remaining Terrans within the Iron Warriors.[5]

Forrix eventually rose to the Trident, the inner circle of advisers to the Primarch Perturabo.[2][3a][4a] Four years after the Iron Warriors reunited with their Primarch, Forrix served during the evacuation of the planet Morningstar, working besides Ahzek Ahriman to ensure crowd control in the capital city Calaena. While there, Forrix explained that he was raised on Eite Mohr, Terra but he felt that Olympia was his true home. To him, the planet was harsh and beautiful, and it showed how insignificant the individual was compared to the universe. This poetic insight surprised Ahriman.[5]

Forrix went on to command forces during the difficult Sak'trada Deeps Campaign, secretly harboring doubts as to the operations value and the competency of Perturabo's conduct of it. He got along badly with fellow Triarch's Harkor and Golg during this time, who frequently sought to undermine his favor with the Primarch. Later during the rebellion on Olympia, Forrix fell into a deep melancholy at the atrocities the Iron Warriors were contributing but still executed Perturabo's genocidal orders. Perturabo himself soon fell into a similar melaoncholy, and during the destruction of Lochos Forrix was the first to discover the Lord of Iron in a near-catatonic state beside the corpse of his murdered foster-sister Calliphone.[6]

Shortly after, Forrix followed his Primarch into rebellion against the Emperor. During the Battle at the Phall system, Forrix had primary responsibility for planning the Iron Warriors' void attack on the Imperial Fists' Retribution Fleet marooned in the Phall system.[3b] Later, Forrix accompanied Perturabo into the Eye of Terror and led the Iron Warriors alongside Emperor's Children during the Battle of Iydris.[Needs Citation]

Forrix later led the retreat of the Iron Warriors during the Battle of Terra[1a].

Later Years

Forrix during the Horus Heresy[2]

By M41, despite his intelligence, supreme organizational skills, as well as being extremely capable in the art of siege warfare, over the millennia Forrix had grown jaded and apathetic. He was disillusioned with the Long War, and he tread the path of the heretic simply because he had none other to take. He was now just a mere Captain under the command of his former subordinate, Barban Falk, now known simply as "The Warsmith".[1b]

By the time of the Battle of Hydra Cordatus, his apathy had made him unworthy to succeed the Warsmith. Likewise, due to his fellow Captain Kroeger's descent into maddened bloodlust, leaving him unworthy to take up the mantle. Honsou, having his potential cultivated and groomed for the position, and by dint of being the surviving captain of the siege, succeeded to the office of Warsmith instead.[1c] After a number of achievements during the siege, including being responsible for having destroyed an Imperial Warhound Titan, Forrix was killed by the garrison's remaining Warhound.[1d]
