Changes

Vulkan was present alongside [[Ferrus Manus]] and [[Corax]] at the [[Isstvan V]] Dropsite Massacre. During the battle the majority of the Salamanders Legion was killed by nuclear missiles fired from the [[Iron Warriors]]. Due to his [[Perpetual]] regeneration abilities, Vulkan survived the explosion but found himself surrounded by hundreds of warriors from the Iron Warriors and [[Night Lords]]. Fighting to what he thought was his death, Vulkan was stabbed, shot and bludgeoned in unconsciousness. Seeing a chance to torment his brother, [[Konrad Curze]] took Vulkan prisoner. The Primarch of the Night Lords spent the next several months trying to both break Vulkan's spirit and trying to kill him. Curze personally cut Vulkan's head off, ripped out with his throat with a fork, stabbed him through the chest and tore him limb from limb. Separately he had Vulkan eviscerated, shot with hundreds of bolters at close range, left in the venting shaft of a starship's engine and even thrown in empty space completely naked. Each time Vulkan died his body would regenerate completely, leaving Curze furious. Seeking to get Vulkan to admit he was no less a monster than himself, Curze had several [[Davinite]] Priests ensnare Vulkan's mind and run him through trial and trial, ensuring he failed and innocents died. When Vulkan would not break, Curze decided to end things in a duel. He made Vulkan navigate a maze designed by [[Perturabo]], at the center of which lay Dawnbringer, Vulkan's personal hammer. when Vulkan retrieved his hammer he managed to overpower Curze and activated a teleporter built into the head of the hammer. Vulkan was transported across the Galaxy into the upper atmosphere of [[Macragge]] and burnt up during rentry, confident he would wake up in the care of the [[Ultramarines]]{{Fn|4}}
