'''Nikudaar''' was a [[Stormseer]] of the [[White Scars]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], who took part in the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
He was the commander of the [[White Scars]] aboard the [[Spiracle Station]], when it was engulfed by the nearby [[Maelstrom]] [[Warp Storm]], during the [[Great Crusade]]. After several attempts to escape the [[Kolarne-Distal System]] ended in failure, the Station's White Scars and [[Thousand Sons]], commanded by the [[Numerologist]] [[Okhafor]], focused their time on redeveloping the out of favour [[Saturnine Terminator Armour]]. It was a task given to them, before their current predicament, by the [[Salamanders]] [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]], who sought to restore the armour's usage within the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]s.  They succeeded in making the armour easier to repair, by the time the [[Ruinstorm]]'s creation caused the Maelstrom to receded from the Kolarne-Distal System.{{Fn|1}}

However, they were unaware that the [[Horus Heresy]] was now raging throughout the [[galaxy]]. The commanders would soon learn of it though, when the [[White Scars]] [[Strike Cruiser]] [[Endless Path]] arrived at the [[Spiracle Station]]. It was crewed by the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Brotherhood of the Dawn Sky]] and its angry and shamed [[Space Marine Captain|Kahn]] informed them with cruel satisfaction about [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]'s betrayal. He then told them of the [[Burning of Prospero]] and that the [[Thousand Sons]] and their [[Primarch]] [[Magnus]], had been declared [[traitor]]s to the [[Imperium]]. It was because of this, that the Khan demanded that Nikudaar aid in executing [[Okhafor]] and his forces, for being enemies of the [[Emperor]]. When the horrified [[Stormseer]] did not do so, the Khan attacked the [[Numerologist]]. Okhafor's used his [[psychic power]]s to defend himself and Nikudaar then killed the Khan with lightning, before another blow was struck.{{Fn|1}} 

The death of their [[Space Marine Captain|Kahn]] sent the [[Brotherhood of the Dawn Sky|Dawn Sky]] into a frenzy and they began attacking Nikudaar and [[Okhafor]]'s forces. This caused the [[White Scars]] and [[Thousand Sons]] to retreat further into the [[Spiracle Station]], where they fended off the Brotherhood, until they donned their [[Saturnine Terminator Armour]]. They then began attacking the Dawn Sky and their armour and psychic abilities allowed them to defeat the Brotherhood and claim the [[Endless Path]]. In the battle's aftermath, the commanders emptied the Station of its supplies and Okhafor and his Thousand Sons left aboard the [[Paroxysm (Warship)|Paroxysm]], eager to reunite with any surviving members of their Legion. Meanwhile, Nikudaar's White Scars left for their [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], [[Chogoris]], aboard the Endless Path. The Stormseer did so, as he was eager to confront his [[Primarch]], [[Jaghatai Khan]], and learn what had [[Second Battle of Prospero|caused]] the Dawn Sky to become berserk killers, who sought only death.{{Fn|1}}
