==History==
==Heresy-era==
Prior to the [[Horus Heresy]], Toramino was a [[Warsmith]] of the [[Iron Warriors]] and master of the [[Stor-Bezashk]]. Following the death of [[Erasmus Golg]] in the [[Battle of the Phall System]] and the disgrace of [[Harkor]] in the [[First Siege of Hydra Cordatus]]. Two more positions to the prestigious [[Triarch]] were open. [[First Captain]] [[Forrix]] nominated [[Barban Falk]] and Toramino, but [[Perturabo]] chose to put [[Kroeger]] on the Triarch in his place. Enraged, Toramino attempted to scheme with Harkor to bring down Kroeger. Toramino however was unsuccessful, and he faced a backlash for incidents of friendly fire during the fighting on [[Iydris]].{{Fn|3}}
==Post-Heresy==
Sometime during the [[13th Black Crusade]], an [["The Warsmith"|unidentified Warsmith]] of the Iron Warriors [[Siege of Hydra Cordatus|assaulted]] the planet of [[Hydra Cordatus]], seeking to attain the [[Imperial Fist]] [[gene-seed]] that was stored there. Under his command were Captains [[Forrix]], [[Kroeger]], and [[Honsou]]. Eventually, the Warsmith succeedded in conquering the planet. Although Imperial defenders tried to destroy the gene-seed before he could reach it, he moved quickly and reached the cryo-chambers before they could finish. Already favored in the eyes of the [[Gods of Chaos]], the Warsmith was promoted to daemonhood for such an accomplishment. Just before his ascension, he named Honsou as his successor Warsmith. The remaining Imperials were subsequently all killed or enslaved by Honsou's forces, who then withdrew back into the [[Eye of Terror]] with the intact gene-seed.{{Fn|2}}
Upon learning that Honsou had returned to [[Medrengard]] with such a prize, his fellow Warsmiths, [[Berossus]] and Toramino confronted him in his mighty citadel of Khalan-Ghol. They demanded that he give them their share of the spoils, as previously promised by the Warsmith under whom Honsou served. When Honsou refused, Toramino threatened him with war, which he dared Toramino to incite. Toramino and Berossus both declared war on Honsou and exited Khalan-Ghol.{{Fn|1b}}
===The War===
Toramino and Berossus brought their armies to the gates of Khalan-Ghol, where they proceeded to lay siege to the fortress: constructing trenches, fortifying artillery, and the like. Berossus's armies are far more aggresive than Toramino's, who seemed content to sit back and let his ally bear the brunt of the fighting (which he did).{{Cite This}}
