Gorgus

This page contains spoilers for: | Fabius Bile: Manflayer (Novel) |
Gorgus was a Reaver Titan Princeps who aided Horus' forces, during the Horus Heresy and spent the last years of the conflict fighting beside the Emperor's Children.[1a]
He did so in order to sate his visceral cravings and became an ally of sorts to Fabius Bile. During the subsequent Legion Wars, Bile sought Grogus' aid in establishing control over the disparate elements of the Emperor's Children, which the Princeps agreed to do if Bile aided him in return. His price was the ability to control a pack[1a] of 3 Warhounds[1b], whose Machine Spirits were bent to the Princep's will. Once this was done, Gorgus successfully aided Bile, but still felt indebted to him for the Warhounds. This led the Princeps to aid Bile in further endeavors in the millennia that followed, when he was not hunting Daemons for sport. When Bile began to be hunted by the Coven of the Thirteen Scars, he sought Gorgus' aid, though, he informed the Princeps that their debt had long since been paid. Gorgus disagreed, though,[1a] and went to aid Bile in the Battle of Belial IV. However even with the might of his Titans, Gorgus found he could not stop the Coven's mobile fortress known as the Tower of Flesh. Soon two of his Warhounds were destroyed, leading Bile to tell Gorgus he had done enough and should escape while he could. The Princeps refused and instead thanked Bile for allowing him to take part in the battle, as it was the most fun Gorgus had had in years. Moments later, the Tower completely destroyed the Princeps' Reaver Titan, along with his remaining Warhound.[1b]
