Ugulhard
Ugulhard was an Ork Warboss of the Snakebites.[3][4] Allied to the infamous Ghazghkull Thraka, he fought and died during the Second War for Armageddon.[1]
Biography
Ugulhard was one of Ghazghkull's "best and baddest" bosses by the time of the Second War for Armageddon.[4]
When Ghazghkull became frustrated by the Imperial resistance at Hades Hive, led by Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, Ugulhard was selected to deal with the issue. The Snakebites boss consequently led his Boyz into a savage charge, breaking through the Hades Hive's outer defenses and personally killing several Armageddon Steel Legion soldiers. Yarrick stepped forward to stop the warboss. Believing that it would be "too easy" to just shoot the human, Ugulhard discarded his gun and charged at the commissar.[4]
The two engaged in a duel during which Ugulhard wounded Yarrick several times, eventually severing the Commissar's left arm. Thinking that he had won, the Warboss taunted the human by declaring that Armageddon "is green".[4] However, Yarrick was able to fight through the pain and shock and beheaded Ugulhard with a single sweep of his Chainsword. The death of their Warboss, and the sight of Yarrick holding Ugulhard's Power Klaw aloft as a trophy, caused the Orks to flee in terror. Yarrick later had the Klaw grafted onto the stump of his lost arm.[1][4]
