Kaligius
Kaligius is the High King of House Mandrakor[3], a Knight House that sided with Horus during the Horus Heresy. He rules over the isolated Nachmund System[Needs Citation] alongside his wife/sister, Queen Kaligia.[3]
In the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation, Kaligius was contacted by the Imperium when it was discovered the Nachmund System was the only safe passage to the besieged worlds of the Dark Imperium. However, Kaligius refused to communicate with the Imperium, claiming that Old Night had returned and began making pacts with Chaos Space Marines and pirate fleets to defend his system. Now known as the Tyrant King, Kaligius refuses passage through the Nachmund System and though some ships have managed to make it through the system, most have been destroyed by its numerous defences.[1] He has since been declared Excommunicate Traitoris.[2]
