Autilon Skorr, known as The King Killer and The Hydra's Headsman, was a Consul-Delegatus of the Alpha Legion active before and during the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
According to an account given by Alpharius which is said to be a lie, Skorr was one of the Alpha Legionaries who worked closest with the Primarch during the days before his formal "rediscovery". Skorr was considered by Alpharius to be a gifted diplomat, and was often used for missions that required a public face.[3] He had an honour to be mentioned in the Great Crusade's War Council at least seven times for his outstanding performance in bringing to the compliance the newly discovered human worlds in the name of the Imperium.[2]
After the start of the Horus Heresy he actively participated in the Warmaster's bloody "Dark Compliance" and at Epsilon-Stranivar IX the Shattered Legions were the only barrier between him and his victory.[1] Skorr treated his Iron Warriors allies poorly at both the Siege of Epsilon-Stranivar IX and the Siege of Mezoa, using them as sacrificial pawns and cannon fodder. This caused Nârik Dreygur to defect to the Salamanders at the peak of the Mezoan campaign, forcing Skorr into a hasty retreat. As he fled the world, he was badly wounded by Xiaphas Jurr, losing an arm in the process.[2]
Wargear
Autilon Skorr is clad in the Artificer Armour with an embedded refractor field and he is armed with a bolt pistol and a Master-crafted power axe.[1]
