Rutial Glinthar
Rutial Glinthar was a Word Bearers Sorcerer Lord.[1a]
History
In M42, Glinthar sought to destroy[1a] the Voidrippers Warband[1b][1c], after they insulted the Word Bearers and defied the will of Abaddon the Despoiler, who he was allied with. The Sorcerer Lord knew the mindless Khorne worshipers were located in the Caligari Sector's Gwaelod System, but its location had been hidden by the Caligari Conclave's Inquisitors. However he believed that House Ranieli would have such proscribed knowledge, as they were the premier Navigator House in the Caligari Sector and had a reputation of often aiding the Conclave. This led Glinthar to raid Ranieli's Starport with his Word Bearers, to find the Gwaelod System's location within the House's information stored there. The Warband then overwhelmed the Starport's defenders, but they were able to inform House Ranieli of the attack, before contact was lost with the Starport.[1a]
Before the Word Bearers began searching it, for a Warp Folio that contained the Gwaelod System's location, Glinthar split his Warband into three groups. Their mission was a surgical strike, so the Sorcerer Lord would prepare their escape, while Flavius Gort searched for the Warp Folio. Fraziel Urth, would act as the Warband's rearguard and Glinthar warned him not to perform a mindless massacre and to expect the Caligari Conclave to intervene on House Ranieli's behalf. This proved to be correct, as Ranieli had pleaded for aid from the Conclave, who in turn then sent one of its Inquisitors to investigate and prevent the House's stored knowledge from being stolen. Despite the forces arrayed against him, however, the Inquisitor destroyed Urth's forces and then Gort's as well. He would collect the Warp Folio Gort had found, before the Inquisitor then tracked down and killed Glinthar. With the Sorcerer Lord's death, his Warband was destroyed and the Ranieli's Starport was free of the Word Bearers' taint.[1a]
