Gutrek

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Gutrek was an Ork Warboss that was part of the Octarius Empire, until he was killed in battle with the Black Templars after one of the Chapter's Crusades invaded the heart of the Empire.[1]

However, before the Black Templars could claim Gutrek's head as a trophy, the Tech-Priest Dominus Hexterramere Vorght, who had been following the Crusade, grabbed the Warboss' body for his research. Vorght believed that he could permanently destroy the Ork race by tracing their origin to their birth Homeworld, which he dubbed as Orkadia, and had been gathering and dissecting the remains of the Orks' killed by the Black Templars during their Crusade, to help prove his theory. Unfortunately for Vorght, once the Black Templars learned he had stolen Gutrek's body, they almost launched an invasion of the Dominus' Forge World, Ryza, and only relented when he returned Gutrek's body to them - minus a few pieces, Vorght had already taken for his research of course.[1]
