Qope Halver
Qope Halver is a Headhunter Prime in the Serpent's Teeth Alpha Legion Warband.
History
In M42, he took part in the Warband's invasion of the Imperial world Pendata for its resources. The Silver Templars' Indomitus Crusade forces would later come to the world's aid, however, and caused the Serpent's Teeth to leave the world empty handed.[1]
He is present when Harrowmaster Solomon Akurra calls for a meeting of Alpha Legion warbands on the Unseen, and the two quietly discuss the myriad of warriors the Legion has become.[1]
When Akurra was seemingly killed by Lord Discordant Xettus Qeele in a secret usurpation, he grudgingly admitted despite their differences that Akurra was a much preferred Harrowmaster to the arrogance of Qeele. He and his Headhunters later encounter a battle-scarred Akurra and his Rogue Psyker Tulava Dyne in the vents of an Adeptus Mechanics facility who save them from a combat servitor ambush. Akurra asks him if he intends to slay him and bring Qeele his corpse to gain favour, citing Halver's dislike of him. Halver shrewdly replies that such an action would alert the Lord Discordant that Halver was aware of his betrayal, and he could simply flip the board on Halver and claim to the rest of the warband that he was the traitor instead. He agrees to assist Akurra secretly rejoin the warband.[1]
When Qeele leads a victory parade down onto Qampar to declare the Alpha Legion's victory over the Imperial defenders, Halver and his Headhunters prowl the rooftops as security. When the Silver Templars spring a final ambush on the parade, they move to protect Qeele but run into eleven Primaris Silver Templars emerging from underground, who are also taken by surprise. The Headhunters emerge victorious but Halver is shot in the gut in the fighting. His fate is unknown.[1]
