Morghant
Morghant was a Freeblade from Torres III, who piloted the Knight Paladin Scion of Torres and was a member of the Padah March.[1]
He was among the March's Knights that aided Magos Dominus Xu Kroll's invasion of Ordex-Thaag, during the Psychic Awakening. As the invasion raged, Morghant was chosen to be among the Burning Spear formation, that was tasked by the Padah March's commander, Baroness Sordhen, with destroying the psychic resonator-spire. Led by Sir Dhekar, the Spear's Knights stormed the citadel that housed the spire, but were attacked by Daemons and Chaos Knights. As they advanced further, Morghant was separated from the others, after he was struck by warp-fire and enveloped by Plaguebearers. The other Knights thought the Freeblade was now lost and continued to fight their way to their target. Morghant meanwhile, was able to kill the Daemons, but the Scion of Torres was left nearly destroyed by their attacks. The Freeblade was able to get his Knight Paladin to move, though, and reached the resonartor-spire, which was already under attack by the Burning Spear. However a tide of Daemons had nearly overwhelmed them, leaving Sir Dhekar to attack the spire, while the other Knights kept the Daemons at bay. It was then, though, that a Daemon attacked Dhekar and would have killed him, had Morghant not come to his rescue. Despite his efforts, however, the Daemon easily killed the Freeblade, by spearing him with its claws. Due to his momentum, though, the Daemon could not pull free before the Scion of Torres toppled it to the ground. With the Daemon now pinned beneath the Knight Paladin, Sir Dhekar was able to destroy the resonator-spire.[1]
