Grakka

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Grakka was an Ork Warlord whose use of a Weirdboy who read the minds of his enemies made his forces unbeatable and allowed them to destroy several Imperium Worlds. His latest target for an invasion was the Imperial Ice World Karos, whose harsh climate had no effect on the Warlord's forces and allowed them to rampage unopposed across its surface. Karos' population lived underground in vast mining tunnels and could do nothing but send out a distress call for aid as the Orks began attacking them. When an Imperial Guard Regiment arrived to help, however, they were no match for its harsh climate, the Orks who were immune to it or the Warlord's Weirdboy who read their minds, and the Guard were soon almost completely destroyed.[1]

When it seemed like Grakka would be able to destroy Karos, the Brazen Minotaurs Captain Daed and his Company arrived to save the embattled world. Grakka and Daed had clashed once before on Praxis, a battle in which Grakka had left Daed severely wounded, and the Captain held a great hatred for the Warlord. Grakka's Weirdboy was able to use Daed's hatred against him, though, as it made the Captain's mind easy to read, and the Orks were prepared in advance when the Brazen Minotaurs launched an aerial attack on the Warlord's base near several venting towers. What the Warlord did not know, however, was that Theseon, the Brazen Minotaurs Chief Librarian, had found out about the Weirdboy and knew Daed's anger made it easy for the Orks to know the Company's attack plan. Theseon therefore had secretly devised a new plan of attack, which he did not tell Daed about, that targeted the venting tower where the Weirdboy was located and not the heavily defended tower that contained Grakka. The venting tower's destruction was disastrous for the Warlord, as he was unaware the towers led to a series of abandoned bastions; once it collapsed, it caused an explosive chain reaction that completely destroyed Grakka and the majority of his forces. With the Warlord's death, the Brazen Minotaurs easily crushed what Orks remained on Karos.[1]
