Nehalen
Ancient Nehalen, also known as the Interitus, was a Contemptor Dreadnought of the Alpha Legion and a member of the personal bodyguard cadre of Autilon Skorr. He took part in the Battle for Mezoa.[1]
Nehalen was renowned among the Alpha Legion for his exploits as a member of the Legion's Destroyer cadre and he earned the title Interitus for his brutal methods. His reputation was such that it is said that the fear of his deployment to a warzone was worth more than a full company of lesser warriors. Nehalen was severely wounded in battle against the Fra'al and then interred in a Dreadnought shell. This meant that he could no longer carry out his specialty, infiltration missions, which made him furious and woke an appetite for open slaughter in him that exceeded that of his fellow legionnaires.[1]
Ancient Nehalen acted as Autilon Skorr's bodyguard and enforcer on Mezoa, a role which included delivering many of the suicidal edits of the Commander of the Alpha Legion to the Iron Warriors under his command. Nehalen was finally killed in battle with Cassian Dracos, the Dragon Revenant, a fight which levelled an entire sub-section of the Mezoan Forge-fane.[1]
