Vakuran
Vakuran was a Terran veteran Legionary in the Night Lords Legion during the Unification Wars, until he fell in battle against a mighty Over-wyrd of the Hambro-Cuth. Afterwards, his wounds forced him to be interred within a Dreadnought and he then served with his Legion in the Great Crusade.[1]
When the Horus Heresy began, however, Vakuran joined his Primarch, Konrad Curze, in betraying the Imperium and he later fought the Ultramarines Legion on Xorthorn VII. The Night Lords defeated the Loyalists, and in the aftermath of their victory, Vakuran was placed within a captured Ultramarines Leviathan Siege Dreadnought after its former occupant was ripped from its sarcophagus. In this new form, Vakuran participated in a dozen campaigns across the coreward marches of Segmentum Tempestus and Ultima Segmentum and in each case he lead the Night Lords in direct assaults against heavily defended Loyalist holdfasts. However, during these assaults, Vakuran's attacks were direct, brutal and crude, leading observers to suspect that the strain of operating the Leviathan Dreadnought had stretched his sanity to the breaking point.[1]
