Seriadne Hekht
Seriadne Hekht is the Traitor General of the Styxx 777th Warwolves, a Traitor Guard Regiment.[1b]
History
Like all of the Styxx 777th, Hekht was once loyal to the Imperium[1b], until the unit was sent to reinforce the Imperial world Moroch in M42. This was as the Imperium was preparing for Abaddon the Despoiler's hordes, as they bore down upon Moroch and the other worlds of the Gorandahl Sub-sector. The Black Legion became aware of this, however, and its Sorcerers determined which Regiments would be sent to reinforce the Sub-sector. This information was then given to the Alpha Legion, whose Human agents infiltrated the targeted Regiments and began corrupting them to serve the Black Legion. The Styxx and other Regiments being sent to Moroch were infiltrated and successfully rotted from the inside out.[1a]
When Moroch's reinforcements finally reached the world, they had all been fully corrupted by the Alpha Legion and were now loyal to the Black Legion[1a]. Hekht herself became the Styxx 777th's Traitor General and days after arriving on Moroch, she led them in attacking the world beside the other newly arrived Traitor Guard. They sought to overthrow the Imperium's rule on Moroch, which would greatly aid the Black Legion when its hordes invaded the Gorandahl Sub-sector. With the element of surprise on their side, the Traitor Guard soon surrounded Moroch's capital Magnificentia[1a]. However a single Phobos Strike Team, led by Infiltrator Sergeant Justarian, was sent to aid the besieged world. The Vanguard Space Marines then began attacking the world's outposts, that were held by the Traitor Guard. The attacks soon forced the Regiment's Traitor Generals to respond, by sending Blooded Kill Teams to wipe out Justarian's Strike Team. These would be led by their Traitor Lieutenants, but caution was needed in selecting them. For any success in destroying the Vanguard Space Marines, could garner the Lieutenant enough favour from the Chaos Gods to challenge the General for their position. Among those selected by Hekht was the Traitor Commissar Igmus Lothar. This was due to his zealously and, Hekht hoped, loyalty to her.[1b]
