Hestias
Hestias was a Soul Drinkers Captain in M34, who vowed to take the heads of a thousand Heretics, to avenge the losses his Chapter suffered on Magnacarum. However, he had only claimed eight hundred and nine heads, before he was assigned to the task force of Force Commander Macellis, which was charged with clearing the worlds of the Chaehinnus stars of Orks. The strike force met with disaster when the Scintillating Death, the warship they were using to take them to the Chaehinnus stars, was lost in the Warp. When it finally re-emerged five years later, the Chapter discovered that the entire strike force had died and their souls now haunted the warship. Afterwards, any Soul Drinker who wanted to join the Chapter's Chaplaincy, was forced to travel to the Scintillating Death and survive an encounter with Hestias and the other angry souls that dwelt there.[1]
