He has since been elevated into a [[Daemon Prince]].

He === The Heresy ===Grulgor 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. {{Fn|2a}} He was very headstrong, and always looked for a chance to impress his [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]]. At Shortly before the beginning [[Battle of the Horus Heresy he sided with the traitorsIsstvan III]], Grulgor and was his men were stationed by [[First Captain]] [[Calas Typhon|Typhon]] on the frigate ''[[Eisenstein]] '' with Captain [[Nathaniel Garro]] and his loyal marinesMarines, who whom he was supposed to eliminate. {{Fn|2b}} He failed, and was killed by a virus that escaped from a damaged [[virus bomb]]that was damaged in his fight with Garro's men. {{Fn|2c}} However while the ''Eisenstein'' was in transit through the [[warp]], attempting to reach [[Terra]] after fleeing the Isstvan system, the ship's [[Gellar Field]] on the Eisenstein began to fail, and Grulgor and his fellow traitors were gifted by [[Nurgle]] with new life. They proceeded to attack the loyal loyalist Death Guard Guards once again. Grulgor managed to infect one of Garro's men , [[Solun Decius]], with [[Nurgle's Rot]], and almost triumphed over Garro. However In desperation, Garro ordered a an emergency drop out of reversion to [[realspace]]. Without the warp. With out it's infernal power sustaining them, Grulgor and his corrupted brethren were killed, their souls sucked back into the warpImmaterium.{{Fn|2d}}

During [[The Fall of Medusa V]] campaign, Ignatius Grulgor reappeared in the form of a [[Daemon Prince ]] to led lead an attack of [[Chaos Space Marines]] against the planet [[Medusa IV]]. A notable battle of the conflict was the sacking of the monastery of Madrigales, as it was home to an [[Astropathic Choir]] made up of thousands which had enough strength to send messages to anywhere within the [[Imperium]]. What's more, its vast cogitator banks housed more than two thousand years ' worth of stored astropathic communiqués, and so the monastery was 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]] s made easy work of the garrisoned [[Imperial Guard]], including three [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s from the [[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 [[Adepta 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.^{{Fn|1 }}
