Morlocks
The Morlocks, also known as the Avernii-Clan Company, were elite members of the Iron Hands Adeptus Astartes that wore Terminator armour.[2] They were named after predators from their homeworld of Medusa and were the toughest warriors within the Legion. As such, they often stood guard at the Anvilarium on the Fist of Iron where Ferrus Manus resided. A detail of Morlock Terminators that watched over their Primarch were killed when Fulgrim's Phoenix Guard turned traitor and slaughtered them during the early stages of the Horus Heresy. The remaining Morlocks were transferred onto the Ferrum for deployment with the Loyalist Legions against the traitor forces at Istvaan V.[1]
As of M41, the Avernii Clan was still a part of the Iron Hands Chapter. They serve as the elite forces of the modern Iron Hands and de facto First Company.[4][5]
