==History==
=== Dark Apostle ===
During the [[Horus Heresy]], Maloq Kartho was [[Dark Apostle]] to [[Hol Beloth]], one of the [[Word Bearers]] ' commanders during the [[Battle of Calth]]{{Fn|6a}}. After Beloth's force was annihilated by orbital bombardment, the Word Bearers were forced underground by the gradual dispersion of Calth's atmosphere and the lethal solar radiation coming from the damaged sun{{Fn|6b}}.
Kartho was presumably forced underground as well, though this is not confirmed. At some point, he encountered [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Remus Ventanus]] of the [[Ultramarines]], who learned his mortal name and slew him. But as a reward for his bloody slaughter on Calth, the [[Warp]] granted Kartho daemonhood{{Fn|4}}.
