Nârik Dreygur[1] (also spelled Narik Dreygur[3]), known as the "Gravewalker" was a commander of the Iron Warriors during the Horus Heresy.[1]
Biography
Once a respected Commander on Istvaan V he fell due to a Raven Guard Moritat having incinerated his flesh. This cost him favour with his Primarch. The Apolakron then rebuilt his broken body with many bionic implants and grafted a Cortex Controller to his nervous system. Joining their ranks he was now called "Gravewalker" and commanded Battle Automata, becoming a Consul Praevian.[1]
During the Siege of Epsilon-Stranivar IX, the immense losses endured by the 114th Grand Battalion of the Iron Warriors due to abandonment by their Alpha Legion allies saw Dreygur as the most senior remaining commander. He later took part in the Siege of Mezoa, again at the side of the Alpha Legion which used his forces as cannon fodder and bait. Disgusted by the Alpha Legion and moved by the words of honour of Cassian Dracos, Dreygur switched sides and attacked Autilon Skorr's Alpha Legion contingent. Afterward, Dreygur became a trusted confidant of Dracos.[1]
