Heathobar
Heathobar was an Iron Lords Deathwatch Librarian, in the Eye of Octos Watch Fortress' Company Secundus.[1b]
History
The Watch Company was commanded by Captain Daox Glykas, who joined his forces with those of Inquisitor Athocles Van Roth in M42. The Inquisitor then used this combined strike force to defend himself, as he sought to master using Baddkrasha's Crown on the Ork and Tyranid infested Maiden World Veloria. However using the Xenos device, drew numerous Ork warships to the Crown's location. Their fleet retreated to avoid being destroyed, but Van Roth came up with a plan to allow his forces to escape. For it to succeed though, it would require them to work with Eldar, they discovered had been left stranded on Veloria. When Glykas later told his Watch Company of this, many were against it working with the Xenos. He was ultimately swayed to follow Van Roth's plan by Heathobar however. Doing so, the Psyker explained, would give them the best chance to prevent the Orks from reclaiming the Crown, which the Watch Company had first taken from King Mek Baddkrasha. With the decision made, Glykas would take a portion of the Watch Company, to aid Van Roth and the Eldar. Meanwhile, Heathobar was given command of another portion of the Company and possession of the Crown itself. He was to use it, to lure the newly arrived Orks into the numerous Tyranid swarms on Veloria. Heathobar succeeded in doing so, but only he was able to escape the massive melee between the Xenos, that followed. However when he then returned to Van Roth's camp he saw that it was being overrun. While he was using the Crown to lure the newly arrived Orks, it had done the same for the Orks that were already on Veloria. This had led the Xenos directly to the camp and, with their fleet also being overwhelmed, Van Roth's forces were not able to escape from the Maiden World.[1a]
