Hedara Ptomalac
Hedara Ptomalac,[1][2] also known as Ushapt-Osiron Hedara Ptomalac, was a Contemptor Dreadnought of the Thousand Sons Legion and Guardian of the House of the Jackal during the Battle of Prospero.[1]
History
Before becoming a Dreadnought, Hadara Ptomalac was part of the first generation of recruits from Prospero to be inducted into the Thousand Sons Legion, during the Great Crusade. Ptomalac is listed as the commander of a heavy support squad during the Relief of Keene's Landing, where he also received an Imperial citation. Years later, Ptomalac fell in the battle known as the Last Stand on Rakotis, and was interred into one of the first Contemptor Dreadnought frames his Legion received.[1]
Ptomalac was later one of a cadre of nine Dreadnoughts that served as the ritual protectors of the House of the Jackal, a large mortuary and memorial complex on the western edge of Tizca's central district on Prospero (and also "slept' there). During the Battle of Prospero, when the invading Space Wolves had already shelled the outer walls of the House of the Jackal into rubble, Hedara Ptomalac and his surviving fellow Dreadnoughts emerged from the ruins and counter-attacked the Space Wolves' heavy armour at short range. Ptomalac was destroyed after personally accounting for two Typhon Siege Tanks.[1]
