'''Ignatius Grulgor''' was [[captain]] of the second company of the [[Death Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion|legion]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. He has since been elevated into a [[Daemon Prince]].
==Biography==
He was born on [[Barbarus]] and like many of his legion from that planet, despised some of the old traditions that his brothers from [[Terra]] practised. He was very headstrong, and always looked for a chance to impress his [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]]. At the beginning of the [[Horus Heresy]] he sided with the traitors, and was stationed on the [[Eisenstein]] with Captain [[Garro]] and his loyal marines, who he was supposed to eliminate. He failed, and was killed by a virus that escaped from a damaged [[virus bomb]]. However while in the [[warp]], after the [[Gellar Field]] on the Eisenstein began to fail, Grulgor and his fellow traitors were gifted by [[Nurgle]] with new life. They proceeded to attack the loyal Death Guard once again. Grulgor managed to infect one of Garro's men with [[Nurgle's Rot]], and almost triumphed over Garro. However, Garro ordered a emergency drop out of the warp. With out it's infernal power sustaining them, Grulgor and his corrupted brethren were killed, their souls sucked back into the warp.
This however ===Medusa IV===In [[M41]] Ignatius Grulgor reappeared in the form of a Daemon Prince to led an attack of [[Chaos Space Marines]] against the planet [[Medusa IV]]. A notable battle of the conflict was not the end sacking of the monastery of Ignatius GrulgorMadrigales, as it was home to an [[Astropathic Choir]] made up of thousands which had enough strength to send messages to anywhere within the [[Imperium]]. He What's more, its vast cogitator banks housed more than two thousand years worth of stored astropathic communiqués, and so the monastery was seen leading a company considered of inestimable value by the Imperium. The siege of the monastery should have lasted weeks, if not months. But Grulgor and his [[Plague Marine]] made easy work of the Death garrisoned [[Imperial Guard during ]], including three [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s from the battle [[Mordian]] Ironskins which guarded the gates. Grulgor smashed barehanded through the hull of one and then filled the crew compartment with pestilential filth, while a [[Chaos Land Raider]] the [[Cradle of Desolation]] punched the turret off another. The third attempted to fall back through the gates but Grulgor shouldered into it, flipping it onto its roof. With the gates wide open, it took less than an hour for the Chaos Space Marines to overrun the monastery. An [[Medusa VAdepta Sororitas]] strike team was called in to cleanse the monastery and retrieve the databanks, but by the time they fought through the now filth infested hallways the astropathic choir had been slain and the databanks were removed. Gulgor and his forces quickly withdrew from the monastery and despite being chased through the surrounding valleys and mountain paths by [[Canoness]] [[Magda Comptress]], they mysteriously vanished off the planet, a suppurating crevasse as the only sign of their passing.<sup>1</sup>
