Gnoph-Keh
Gnoph-Keh was a Thousand Sons legionary, a minor of the Pavoni fellowship.[1a]
After the destruction of Prospero, he was teleported along with the remnant of his legion to the Planet of Sorcerers. At one point he raised an army of crystal corpses to build a massive ossuary of shiny glass that was built with the help or power the primarch Magnus the red. His treachery was shown to Amon when the aether wind carried the news of him battling his own brothers using a vast hidden army of yhetees, creatures made of ice & breath. Magnus encountered him while wandering the terrain of the planet not knowing himself, wearing a red robe and his face hidden behind a veil. Gnoph-Keh did not recognize his father in this form but knew that this 'magus' had enormous power and kept lying to him to keep him at his side long enough to learn his secrets.[1b]
Amon heard the rumors and went on to find the edifice then fought his way through the barred gates of the titanic ossuary with ease, unmaking the fortress and destroying the yhetees.[1a] He found Gnoph-Keh and was disgusted because of this betrayal and then ended up killing him but not before he was told everything about the encounter between him and the primarch, stating that Gnoph-Keh was not a son of Magnus.[1b]

The yhetees raised by Gnoph-Keh aren't expanded on in the source but are possibly a reference to the yhetees of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Age of Sigmar, themselves a reference to the real-world myth of the Yeti in the Himalayan mountain range.
