Kyr Vhalen was the Warsmith of the Iron Warriors' 77th Grand Battalion during the Horus Heresy. He remained loyal to the Emperor during the war.[1]
A name of relative obscurity before the war, he was neither Olympian or Terran by birth, but rather recruited as an adolescent from the Xenos-enslaved world of Meru. Initiated into the 77th Grand Battalion, he fought his way up through the ranks by merit, gaining the epithet of Shatterblade after fighting through a nine hour battle with the broken remains of a Xenarch sword impaled through his chest.[1]
Vhalen eventually became the Second Captain of the 77th Grand Battalion and over eleven years of grueling warfare in the Therikon Suppression rose to its command. After the war, the 77th was garrisoned in the region and largely forgotten by the Imperium. When the Horus Heresy erupted, his forces were ignorant of their Legion's betrayal. At Paramar V, he and his legionaries would take bitter pride in their stubborn loyalty to the Emperor as they battled their own Iron Warriors brothers.[1]
