Soltarn Vull Bronn
Soltarn Vull Bronn, known as the Stonewrought, was a Lieutenant in the Iron Warriors' 45th Grand Battalion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.
Bronn was an expert in stonework to such a level that it was said the earth itself spoke to him. As such, he was an adviser to Perturabo himself and was frequently called upon to organize earthworks for the Iron Warriors sieges. During the Heresy, he took part in both the Siege of the First Siege of Hydra Cordatus and the Battle of Iydris.[2] After Perturabo left Krade to find Angron, Vull Bronn was left in command of the war effort there.[3] He survived the battle on Krade and arrived for the traitor muster on Ullanor in the prelude to the Battle of Terra.[3a] He next appeared under Horus Aximand's command during the capture of Pluto in the Solar War. It was revealed that he had suffered grievous wounds on Krade, and now was given cybernetic implants which hindered his breathing and speaking.[4]
During the Siege of Terra Soltarn Vull Bronn commanded the massive artillery bombardment before the main assault on the Lion's Gate Spaceport. He was one of the few souls the increasingly embittered and isolated Forrix still conferred with, though the Stonewrought himself displayed a complete lack of interest in the politics of the Trident.[5]
Bronn survived the Heresy and, ten thousand years later, was part of the Warsmith Honsou's retinue that attacked Calth during the Invasion of Ultramar.[1]
