During the Heresy's later years, the Prince served a Night Lords commander, whose forces scoured the life from several Imperial worlds. He was about to do the same to Bloodfall, when the Chaos Lord's forces were attacked by a Space Wolves strike force, led by Gunnar Thorolfsson. Gunnar had been waging his own independent campaign against the Night Lords, when he discovered the worlds attacked by the Prince and his commander. After tracking the Chaos Lord to Bloodfall, Gunnar and his Space Wolves swore an oath to defend it from the Traitor Legion's predations. As the two forces fought, the Prince laughed with joy as cut down numerous Space Wolves. No matter who he fought, none could best the Prince, because of his highly skilled swordsmanship. Gunnar would receive reinforcements, however, when a large number of Space Wolves led by Jarl Jorin Bloodhowl arrived. The Night Lords were then caught between two forces and the Chaos Lord was soon attacked by Jorin. However the Jarl was no match for the Prince, who easily cut Jorin down. Though badly wounded, the Jarl still lived and the Prince mocked Jorin as he prepared to kill the Space Wolf. However this proved to be his undoing, as it gave Gunnar time to fire a plasma pistol, which cored out out the Night Lord's chest. The mortally wounded Prince did not die though, despite the gaping hole, until Jorin rose up and beheaded him. His Night Lords were then destroyed by the Space Wolves and Jorin claimed the Prince's helm as a battle trophy.[1]
