Hydra Cordatus was a Forge World close to the Eye of Terror. It supplied weapons and vehicles to the Imperium, and it was also one of the only places that Space Marine gene seed could be stored. Sometime during the 13th Black Crusade, an unidentified Warsmith of the Iron Warriors assaulted the planet of Hydra Cordatus, seeking to attain the Imperial Fist gene-seed that was stored there. Under his command were Captains Forrix, Kroeger, and Honsou. Eventually, the Warsmith succeedded in conquering the planet. Although Imperial defenders tried to destroy the gene-seed before he could reach it, he moved quickly and reached the cryo-chambers before they could finish. Already favored in the eyes of the Gods of Chaos, the Warsmith was promoted to daemonhood for such an accomplishment. Just before his ascension, he named Captain Honsou as his successor Warsmith. Honsou proceeded to kill the remaining Imperials and then retreated back into the Eye of Terror with the intact genetic material.*²
