Pereduz

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Pereduz was a veteran Iron Warrior who was part of a large Chaos Undivided warhost[1a] that rampaged across the Eastern Fringes of the Ultima Segmentum. The warhost would eventually land on Dolumar IV, a backwater planet, where they built a Chaos temple and summoned the Lord of Change Tarkh'ax, who would begin to lead them on a new Black Crusade to strike at Holy Terra. It was all for naught, however, as after the summoning an Eldar strikeforce attacked and sealed the warhost in a prison in a cut-off path of the Webway. Pereduz and the warhost stayed in their prison for three thousand years, until the heretic Meyloch Severus, Planetary Governor of the now-resettled Dolumar IV, completed a Chaos ritual that broke the warhost's prison and allowed them to materialize on both the Imperial Navy vessel the Enduring Blade, where the Imperium and Tau Empire were conducting peace talks[1c], and Dolumar IV.[1d] While his Brothers butchered their way through the Enduring Blade[1c], Pereduz and the members of the warhost that materialized on Dolumar IV attacked the population there.[1a]

As the Imperium and Tau launched forces onto Dolumar IV to deal with the warhost, Pereduz would battle the Ultramarines Third Company led by Captain Jehnnus Ardias in order to buy Severus more time to complete the ritual necessary to finally free Tarkh'ax from its prison. As Pereduz and a group of Chaos Space Marines fired upon the Ultramarines from a pit, their position was charged by Veteran Sergeant Larynz and his squad, along with the Techmarine Achellus. When the Ultramarines reached the pit, however, Pereduz and the other Chaos Marines were gone - having hidden nearby when Larynz began his charge. When Pereduz was sure the Space Marines had entered the pit, he activated an explosive device buried in the sand there, which instantly killed the Ultramarines.[1a] It is unknown if Pereduz died in battle with the Imperium and Tau forces on Dolumar IV, but more than likely he died, along with the remainder of the warhost, when an Exterminatus was launched on the planet; soon after the warhost's leader, the Lord of Change Tarkh'ax, was banished back to the Warp.[1d]
