Indar Vollinus
Indar Vollinus was an Alpha Legion Harrowmaster, who took part in the Horus Heresy's Battle of Pluto.[1]
History
During the Battle, the Harrowmaster was among the Alpha Legion's forces that invaded Pluto's fortified moon, Hydra. Led by their Primarch Alpharius, the Alpha Legion cut their way through the Imperial Fists defending the moon and then split into separate strike teams. While Alpharius's strike team moved to seize Hydra's command centre, Vollinus was charged with claiming the moon's plasma reactor. However his progress slowed to a crawl, as Hydra's surviving Imperial Fists tenaciously fought him every step of the way. Further complicating matters, was the reinforcements Captain Vendraal had sent from his Cruiser Spear of Verria. These newly arrived Imperial Fists were led by the Centurion Gregorius Skekkir, who separated them and sent them to reinforce vital points on the moon. Skekkir himself led a force to Hydra's plasma reactor and reached it before Vollinus.[1]
However, their rapid progress took a toll and only a dozen of Skekkir's forces remained. They were soon attacked by Vollinus' strike team, but despite being outnumbered, the Alpha Legion was not able to completely kill the Imperial Fists. Time after time, the Loyalists pushed the Traitors back and dozens of the Alpha Legion were killed in each attack. Hours later, though, only Skekkir and three other Imperial Fists still lived. Alpharius himself then arrived, however, and easily killed the Centurion and the remaining Imperial Fists. Their defence had delayed the Alpha Legion long enough, however, for the Phalanx to arrive at the moon. Fresh reinforcements arrived under Primarch Rogal Dorn's command, who led them in scouring Hydra of the Alpha Legion. The Traitors were ultimately defeated and Alpharius was killed by Dorn. After their Primarch's death, the Alpha Legion fled the Sol System, but it is not known if Vollinus survived the Battle of Pluto.[1]
