Jirghadai Noyan-Khan was a Noyan-Khan (or Lord Commander) of the White Scars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]

Tasked with charting and harrying xenos infestations along the lower coreward arc of the Great Crusade, Jirghadai and his 6,000 warriors were heavily engaged at the time of the start of the Horus Heresy. Shortly after they were assailed by the World Eaters and Death Guard without warning, severely mauling the Horde. Yet despite having Jirghadai surrounded, the traitors suddenly departed and allowed the Scars a reprive. Jirghadai and his warriors eventually took refuge on Nocturne. In the years following the Horus Heresy it became clear that the traitors withdrawal was due to Horus' direct order as he still wished the Scars to become allies at that point in the war.[1]
