Horgoth Nyr
Horgoth Nyr was the Princep Maxiums of the Fire Masters Titan Legion, when they joined Warmaster Horus' forces during the Horus Heresy.[1]
He led his Legio against the surprised Loyalists in the Betrayal at Calth, which led to the destruction of most of Legio Praesagius. Afterwards, Nyr would begin to ravage the Realm of Ultramar in the Shadow Crusade. However, when word of Praesagius' losses on Calth reached their Homeworld, Gantz, the Legio's most senior surviving Princep, Dae Vergos, sought vengeance. She declared the beginning of the Crusade of Iron against Horus' forces and Nyr became a sought after target for his part in the Calth massacre.[1]
During the Crusade of Iron, Nyr was the principle traitor command and began a bitter rivalry with Legio Praesagius Princeps Dae Vergos. Their rivalry came to its climax during the Battle of Drooth II, where Vergos engaged in a fateful duel with Nyr and his Warbringer Titan Mons Ingnum. During the battle Nyr's Titan displayed supernatural endurance, forcing Vergos to instead turn her fire upon Drooth II's space elevator magnetic locks. The Space elevator came down upon the battlefield, killing both Nyr and Vergos.[1]
