Katallus
Katallus the Corpsemaker is a Chaos Lord, who later became known as the Scourge of Antirrum after his Warband successfully conquered the Imperial world.[1]

History
This was due in part to Katallus being aided by Antirrum's Planetary Lord, Galen, who had secretly been a Heretic for some time. Galen did so to gain further rewards for himself, but the Space Wolves later came to reclaim the world and due to their efforts, Katallus was forced to call for reinforcements from the Eye of Terror. They were slow in arriving, though, and the Chaos Lord later called for a meeting with Galen. The Planetary Lord was worried, however, that Katallus would place the blame for the state of the battle on him and then kill him for it.[1]
The Chaos Lord would in fact accept Galen's excuses and allowed the Planetary Lord to keep his life. After Galen left the meeting, though, Katallus remarked that while he did not blame the Planetary Lord for the Space Wolves' success in the battle, he was going to have Galen's head served on a platter after they defeated the Space Marines. He was looking so forward to this in fact, that Katallus remarked that he already savored the rich taste of Galen's head. Though the Space Wolves later defeated the Chaos Lord's forces, Katallus and his surviving Warband were able to flee from the world. It is not known what became of Galen, however, as the Imperium found no evidence of his whereabouts after Antirrum was reclaimed.[1]
