Apis Merenkar
Apis Merenkar was a member of the Word Bearers.[1]
During the Horus Heresy he was a part of Nimarros Tactical Squad, 7th Assault Company of the Word Bearers' Serrated Suns Chapter and fought during the Drop Site Massacre on the Urgall Depression. He was amongst the Gal Vorbak deployed to oppose the Raven Guards' attempt to reach their waiting warships. There the fighting was the bloodiest as Corax scythed a path through the massed ranks of Word Bearers to save his Space Marines and clear a way for them. The last time Mernkar and his unit were spotted they were engaging several Raven Guard companies in a headlong charge, well ahead of other Chapters of the Word Bearers. After the battle the Iron Warriors provender detachment recovered abandoned wargear of Merenkar amongst the mounds of dead Marines from both sides, although no identifiable corpse of him or other members of his squad were found. [1]
During his last battle Apis Merenkar was armed with a Boltgun and a Bolt Pistol, both Tigrus-pattern.[1]
