Annovuldi
Annovuldi was a Warsmith in the Iron Warriors Legion who defied his Battle Brothers and his Primarch by staying loyal to the Imperium during the Horus Heresy.[1a]
Two years after the Dropsite Massacre, Annovuldi was one of the Loyalists of the Traitor Legions, who answered the Primarch Corax's rallying call on Scarato. Once there he listened to the Primarch, as he asked those who had defiantly stayed loyal to the Emperor, as well as members of the Shattered Legions, to join forces with his Raven Guard; in order to strike back at those who had betrayed the Imperium. After hearing this, some of those present were left unconvinced that their few numbers could do anything of worth, but Corax answered that his tactics would help them win wars against their far superior foe. To prove this, he asked those present to aid his Legion, in liberating the Imperium world Carandiru from Horus' control and witness first hand how powerful their combined forces were. Afterwards the Primarch said, if they still did not agree to continue to fight beside the Raven Guard, they would be free to go. All those present agreed to this[1a] and Carandiru was successfully liberated.[1b]
He would continue to fight beside the Raven Guard for years, until the Legion was about to take part in the Battle of Yarant. It was at that time, for reasons unknown, that Corax ordered the non-Raven Guard elements of his Legion to be sent to Terra. By then, only Annovuldi and the Night Lord Kasati Nuon remained of the Traitor Legion Loyalists, who had fought beside the Raven Guard.[2]
