Hakhroth
Hakhroth is a Sorcerer in The Blessed Warband and was a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers Legion, during the Horus Heresy and Great Crusade.[1]
History
He was noted as being an early convert to the Legion's Warrior Lodges and was a pupil of the mighty Erebus as well. When the Horus Heresy neared its end, Hakhroth served[1] under Captain Darokh'Var and was aboard his warship, the Firebrand, as the Word Bearers traveled to invade Terra. However before they reached it, the Firebrand became trapped in the Warp for several days. When the Firebrand finally re-emerged, though, Darokh'Var and his forces realized that over a thousand years had passed. They soon discovered that the Imperium had defeated the Traitor Legions, who had been forced to flee into the Eye of Terror. Being that the Captain was fanatically loyal to his Primarch Lorgar, Darokh'Var then led his forces to attack nearby Imperial worlds, before fleeing back into the Warp. Once again, however, the Firebrand became trapped in the Warp and when it re-emerged yet another thousand years had passed. Darokh'Var would continue his attacks despite this and a total of several decades would pass in the Warp for the Word Bearers, while millennia passed in Realspace[2]. It was during this time, that Hakhroth gained the ability to commit sorcery, but this also left him with a wizened appearance. His powers, though, drew the veneration of his Brothers, as it was an obvious mark of the Chaos Gods' favour. By the time they became The Blessed Warband, Hakhroth's influence led him to become Darokh'Var's trusted advisor, whose council was highly valued.[1]
