Danask
Danask was a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers Legion active during the Horus Heresy and took part in the Dropsite Massacre.[1]
Afterwards, while a majority of his Legion departed for Calth, Danask was tasked by his Primarch, Lorgar, to command the Strike Cruiser Valediction and search the Isstvan System for any Loyalist ships that survived the ambush. While Danask considered this to be a punishment, for some unknown rule of the Legion he had broken, he did as he was commanded and was soon ordered by Warmaster Horus to fire upon a quadrant that held a fleeing Loyalist ship, though Danask could not see it. What he did not know, however, was that the Loyalist ship was the Avenger, a Raven Guard Battle Barge that was using its cloaking technology to remain hidden as it fled the system with the Primarch Corax and the survivors of his shattered Legion. Before they left, however, Corax wanted to land a final blow against the Traitors and had the Avenger uncloak near the Valediction and make a jump into the Warp. The Valediction's crew were caught by surprise by the Avenger's sudden appearance and could not prevent their ship from being sucked into the Warp without its Gellar Field activated. Left unprotected from the ravages of the Warp, Danask knew what fate awaited them, as Daemons soon materialized on the Valediction and fell upon its helpless crew.[1]
