Nirun
Nirun was a warrior of the White Scars Legion during the Horus Heresy.[1]
He commanded a group of five hundred Legionaries drawn from different Brotherhoods, but all members of the same warrior lodge whose symbol was the serrated beak of a Chogorian raptor, operating in the Pale Stars.[1]
In 017008.M31 he answered Nathaniel Garro's summons to Optera IV, designed to be decipherable only by loyalists. Nirun refused to return to Terra with Garro, stating that he did not know Jaghatai Khan's position and would not deviate from his course except by the primarch's direct order. The conclave was interrupted by an Alpha Legion ambush shortly after. Nirun and his warband later clashed with the Alpha Legion under Strike Master Ijax at Phargos Rex, mere hours before the system was swallowed by a warp storm. Nirun's name was entered into the roll of honour of the Rogue Trader House of Orpheus.[1]
