Known as "the Twisted" for the complex workings of his mind, Maloghurst was [[Horus]]'s chief advisor adviser and public voice, and a shrewd manipulator. He was also a formidable warrior, and was a speculated contender for the [[First Captain]]cy (the post held by [[Ezekyle Abaddon]]) when Horus made him his [[equerry]].{{Fn|1}}

During the Battle of [[Sixty-Three-Nineteen]], Maloghurst was dispatched to the surface to parley with the "[[Emperor of Mankind (63-19)|Emperor of Mankind]]", the impostor leader of the planet, but his [[Stormbird]] was shot down and he was seriously wounded in the crash.

His body was badly mangled by the events (thus truly making him "twisted"), but he remained willing - and quite able - to serve his Warmaster. He also boldly stated that he was aware of his nickname among the rest of the Legion and had no wish to abandon it: his mind was as deft as ever, and if his body was now twisted to fit it, then so be it.{{Fn|1}}
