Ennedreth
Ennedreth was a Dark Angels Paladin, who took part in the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
He was among the Legion's forces that their Primarch Lion El'Jonson led in the Battle of Perditus. There, the Primarch sought to claim the Mechanicus' relics on Perditus before the Iron Hands and Death Guard did. Ennedreth was among the Knight-Preceptor Vendrahel's command, which was sent to claim the relics in Umbral-51's archaeo-vaults. Despite the Primarch ordering them to stand down, the Iron Hands and Death Guard forces there had refused to stop fighting for the vaults. When his forces landed, however, it was the Traitor Legion that Vendrahel ordered his forces to attack. Ennedreth would aid them, but as the Death Guard and Dark Angels fought, another foe would enter the fray. Umbral 51's Mechanicus would unleash their Imperial Robots in order to kill all the invaders. While this led to the Death Guard's forces shattering, their commander and a few survivors were able to escape and raced to the vault's gates. Shortly afterwards, the Dark Angels were finally able to destroy the Imperial Robots and gave chase after the Traitors.[1]
Despite the Death Guard's head start, the Dark Angels reached them before they could open the vaults' gates. The two sides were then facing each other, when Ennedreth stepped forward and challenged the Death Guard's commander to an honour duel. The Centurion Kadus Brekkar laughed at this and instead used his Chem-flamer to reduce Ennedreth's body to ash. This enraged Vendrahel and the Knight-Preceptor led the charge against the Death Guard. As their forces clashed, Brekkar fought Vendrahel for possession of the vaults. In the end, though, the Centurion was killed by the Knight-Preceptor and the Death Guard were destroyed as well. After the battle ended, Vendrahel knelt over Brekkar's body and whispered the names of the Dark Angels who had died.[1]
