Baron '''Vardus Praal''' was the Imperial Governor of the Isstvan system, ruling from the Choral City on [[Isstvan III]]. His rebellion against the Imperium would precipitate the first major battle of what would become the [[Horus Heresy]].
Praal had declared Isstvan's independence from the Imperium; the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]], seeking to prevent other star systems from following suit, dispatched [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] to quell the rebellion, unaware that his favored son had been corrupted by [[Chaos]].<sup>1</sup> Under the Warmaster's command were his own [[Black Legion|Sons of Horus]], the [[World Eaters]], the [[Emperor's Children]] and the [[Death Guard]]. Horus, as part of his master plan for the coming war, sent select squads from all four Legions to the surface, under the pretext of crushing the rebellion at its source.
During the attack on the Choral City, Praal met Emperor's Children Captain [[Lucius (Emperor's Children)|Lucius]] in combat, surrounded by elite [[Warsinger]] bodyguards. Despite his enhanced abilities, Praal fell to Lucius' blade.<sup>2</sup>
