==HistoryOverview==The Skulltakers' origin as the loyalist [[Space Marine Chapter]] the '''Berserkers of Kharadon''' was short-lived. During the period of 153.[[M34]] to 184.[[M39]] the [[Imperium]] lost any contact and it was somewhere during these five millennia that the Marines turned to [[Chaos]], and rechristened themselves the Skulltakers.{{Fn|13}} The Skulltakers participated in the [[Siege of Vraks]] in [[M41]].{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2c}} In the latter stages of the siege, they absorbed the [[Berserkers of Skallathrax]] warband into their ranks and struck an alliance with [[The Sanctified]], thus making the followers of [[Khorne]] the dominating force among the defenders of Vraks.{{Fn|2c}} ==Known members==*Lord [[Zhufor]] {{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2c}}*[[Gorfan]], commander of Zhufor's [[Chaos Terminator]] bodyguard {{Fn|2a}}
