'''Indar Vollinus''' was an [[Alpha Legion]] [[Harrowmaster]], who took part in the [[Horus Heresy]]'s [[Battle of Pluto]].{{Fn|1}}

==History==
During the [[Battle of Pluto|Battle]], the [[Harrowmaster]] was among the [[Alpha Legion]]'s forces that invaded [[Pluto]]'s fortified moon, [[Pluto_#Moons|Hydra]]. Led by their [[Primarch]] [[Alpharius]], the Alpha Legion cut their way through the [[Imperial Fists]] defending the moon and then split into separate strike teams. While Alpharius's strike team moved to seize Hydra's command centre, Vollinus was charged with claiming the moon's [[plasma reactor]]. However his progress slowed to a crawl, as Hydra's surviving Imperial Fists tenaciously fought him every step of the way. Further complicating matters, was the reinforcements [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Vendraal]] had sent from his [[Cruiser]] ''[[Spear of Verria]]''. These newly arrived Imperial Fists were led by the [[Centurion (Rank)|Centurion]] [[Gregorius Skekkir]], who separated them and sent them to reinforce vital points on the moon. Skekkir himself led a force to Hydra's plasma reactor and reached it before Vollinus.{{Fn|1}} 

However, their rapid progress took a toll and only a dozen of [[Gregorius Skekkir|Skekkir]]'s forces remained. They were soon attacked by Vollinus' strike team, but despite being outnumbered, the [[Alpha Legion]] was not able to completely kill the [[Imperial Fists]]. Time after time, the [[Loyalist]]s pushed the [[Traitor]]s back and dozens of the Alpha Legion were killed in each attack. Hours later, though, only Skekkir and three other Imperial Fists still lived. [[Alpharius]] himself then arrived, however, and easily killed the Centurion and the remaining Imperial Fists. Their defence had delayed the Alpha Legion long enough, however, for the ''[[Phalanx]]'' to arrive at the moon. Fresh reinforcements arrived under [[Primarch]] [[Rogal Dorn]]'s command, who led them in scouring Hydra of the Alpha Legion. The Traitors were ultimately defeated and Alpharius was killed by Dorn. After their Primarch's death, the Alpha Legion fled the [[Sol System]], but it is not known if Vollinus survived the [[Battle of Pluto]].{{Fn|1}}
