Kellendvar
Kellendvar, also known as The Headsman, was a member of the Night Lords during the Horus Heresy. Born in the slums of Nostramo alongside is older birth-brother Kellenkir, Kellendvar eventually served in a Night Lords splinter fleet under Krukesh. Kellendvar was known as a Legion executioner, wielding a great Power Axe. Still retaining the old discipline of the Legiones Astartes even as the Night Lords descended into sadistic warbands after the destruction of their homeworld, Kellendvar loyally served Gendor Skraivok and frequently tried to moderate the behavior of his wild and vicious older brother.[1a]
During the Battle of Sotha, Kellendvar fought alongside his brother to try and infiltrate and secure the Pharos from loyalist forces. However they were betrayed by Gendor Skraivok, who possessed Kellenkir with a Daemon. As his brother transformed into an unholy creature, Kellendvar killed him as an act of mercy. He was shortly afterwards gunned down by Ultramarines.[1b]
