Vhakis
Ancient Vhakis was a Contemptor Dreadnought in the Iron Warriors Legion.[1]
He was the born heir to one of the many warlords on Olympia that were forced to kneel to the Primarch Perturabo before he was reunited with the Emperor. When Perturabo finally joined the Great Crusade, Vhakis was judged worthy of joining the Iron Warriors and served faithfully for seventy years until he was struck down while leading the final assault on the Aethereal Bastion. However, despite his injuries, Vhakis still clung to life and, due to his stoic devotion to duty and his unquestioning loyalty to his Primarch, he earned the right to be interred within a Contemptor Dreadnought.[1]
After his internment, Vhakis continued to faithfully serve the Iron Warriors and when the Horus Heresy began, he joined his Legion in turning against the Imperium. He would go on to take part in the Dropsite Massacre and afterwards was one of the many Iron Warriors that were left behind to hunt down any surviving Loyalists while the rest of his Legion took to the stars to battle the forces of the Emperor. Vhakis later met his end, however, when he was among a dozen of the Iron Warriors' Dreadnoughts that were destroyed in an ambush launched by the remnants of the Raven Guard Legion, deep within the Illium Rifts.[1]
