History

Spoiler!
This page contains spoilers for: Ahriman: Eternal (Novel)

Under his command, the Warband ventured into the Gorgon's Shroud region of the Eye of Terror for loot and plunder. This would increase the strength the Born of Iron commanded and allow Hargoron to make changes to the Warband, so that it better served him. At that time, the Chaos Lord thought the Born of Iron were vagabonds who were only loyal to power or opportunity. With the riches from the Gorgon's Shroud, however, Hargoron could commission the creation of new Chaos Space Marines, that would be strictly loyal to him.[1]

With the Warp Ghosts serving as their guides, the Warband successfully filled its holds with plunder. However even with their help, the journey within the Gorgon's Shroud took a heavy toll on the Born of Iron. Their bodies, power armor and three warships became decayed or rusted, due to the region being cursed with entropy. One of the Warband's warships had to later be abandoned, after it began rapidly decaying. However as the Born of Iron began leaving the region, the goods they had taken from the Gorgon's Shroud had more than paid for the losses they sufferd. One of the items they recovered, though, was a Xenos' skeleton that was sought after by the Thousand Sons Exiles Warband. This led them to ambush the Born of Iron and launch an attack on its flagship's bridge, where Hargoron had command. After leaving the bridge open to the void, the Exiles' Sorcerer Lord Ahriman materialized next to the Chaos Lord. Hargoron was then prevented from moving by the powerful Sorcerer, who tore apart his memories for the Xenos' location. After finding it, Ahriman left the bridge to recover the skeleton and Hargoron was now a dead crumpled heap on the floor.[1]
