'''Reclusiarch Hornindal''' was [[Reclusiarch]] of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] [[Chapter]], shortly before the fall of [[Sotha]]. He was a veteran of the [[First Tyrannic War]].{{Fn|1}}
While on a crusade to liberate the reliquary world of [[Egottha]] in 990.M41, he received the general recall message which ordered the entire [[Chapter]] to return to their home world of [[Sotha]]. Concerned by the grave implications of such an order, he urged the captain and crew of the ''[[Xenophon]]'' to push the ship as hard as they could, for fear that they would arrive too late.{{Fn|1}}
When the ship encountered a small vanguard [[Hive Fleet]], Hornindal recognised the [[Tyranid]] threat for what it was, and correctly deduced that this was part of a new xenos invasion of the Imperium. This was later known to be the first wave of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]] to penetrate deep into [[Ultima Segmentum]], far beyond previous estimates at that time.{{Fn|1}}
Despite Hornindal's skilled leadership, the ''[[Xenophon]]'' was caught and boarded by [[Tyranid]] creatures. In the moments before it was destroyed, Hornindal recorded a message to be relayed by distress beacon, warning other ships of the danger to [[Sotha]].{{Fn|1}}
In battle, he carried a [[Crozius Arcanum]] and [[bolt pistol]].{{Fn|1}}
