History

Megresh was a tongueless and cold pilot, who never smiled at the prospect of killing his foes. When he took part in the Heresy's Dropsite Massacre,[1b] the Scythe Claw deployed from the Carrion Call[1a] and Megresh became the wingman of their squadron commander, Scarrix. But this changed, after the commander spotted the Thunderhawk of the Raven Guard Captain Alvarex Maun. It was just as Maun had performed a dangerous extraction amidst a horde of Word Bearers and Scarrix thought the Captain would only perform such a move to save the Raven Guard's Primarch, Corvus Corax. The mere chance that this could be true, made the squadron commander target the Thunderhawk, as the Primarch's death would further elevate Scarrix's status. He wanted his kill to be up close and personal, so the commander sped off in pursuit of Maun's Thunderhawk and left Megresh, behind. However, this allowed Maun to escape from Scarrix, after the Captain evaded the squadron commander's fire. Scarrix pursued Maun and the two fired at each other, which caused both aircrafts to crash.[1b]
