'''Urkrathos''' , also called '''Urkanthos'''{{Fn|3}}, is a [[Chaos Space Marine]] of the [[Black Legion]], follower of [[Khorne]], and one of the four [[Chosen of Abaddon]]. Selected to command the fleets of [[Chaos]] at the launch of the [[13th Black Crusade]], his flagship was a [[Grand Cruiser]] originally named ''Ius Bellum'' during the [[Great Crusade]], but once [[Horus]] had made his intentions known it was renamed the '''''[[Hellforger]]'''''.{{Fn|1}}
He was involved with the struggle over the [[Dark Mechanicum]] controlled [[Forge World]] of [[Chaeroneia]], in opposition to the [[Imperial]] forces lead by [[Inquisitor]] [[Nyxos]] and [[Admiral|Rear Admiral]] [[Horstgeld]]. Urkrathos was aided by the [[mutant]] [[Feogrym]] in this endeavor, and had allied himself with [[Archmagos|Archmagos Veneratus]] [[Scraecos]], who had controlled Chaeroneia at the time.{{Fn|1}}
In addition, he leads a mob of vicious [[Khornate]] Chaos Space Marines known as the [[Hounds of Abaddon]].{{Fn|2}}
During the 13th Black Crusade, Urkanthos became a [[Daemon Prince]] after pleasing Khorne with the mass killing caused by the destruction of three great imperial ships. He was killed on Cadia fighting [[Saint Celestine]] and her two [[Geminae Superia]].{{Fn|3}}
