'''Kydomor Forrix''' was a [[Warsmith]] and member of the [[Trident]], later a subordinate [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of an [[Iron Warrior]]s [[Grand Company]] under the command of the [["The Warsmith"]] during until the [[Siege of Hydra Cordatus]]{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1a}}.
== History ==
Forrix was once a hero of the Legion and captain of its 1st [[Grand Company]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]], while also serving as a member of the [[Trident]], the inner circle of advisors to the [[Primarch]] [[Perturabo]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|44a}} Four years after the Iron Warriors reunited with their Primarch, Forrix served during the evacuation of the planet Morningstar, working besides [[Ahzek Ahriman]] to ensure crowd control in the capital city Calaena. While there, Forrix explained that he was raised on Eite Mohr, Terra but he felt that Olympia was his true home. To him, the planet was harsh and beautiful, and it showed how insignificant the individual was compared to the universe. This poetic insight surprised Ahriman.{{fn|5}}
During the [[Battle at the Phall system]], Forrix had primary responsibility for planning the Iron Warriors' void attack on the [[Imperial Fists]]' [[Retribution Fleet]] marooned in the [[Phall system]].{{Fn|3b}} Later, Forrix accompanied Perturabo into the [[Eye of Terror]] and led the Iron Warriors during the [[Battle of Iydris]].

By [[M41]], despite his intelligence, supreme organizational skills, as well as being extremely capable in the art of siege warfare, over the millennia Forrix had grown jaded and apathetic. He was disillusioned with the [[Long War]] (the quest of the [[Chaos Space Marines]] to overthrow the [[Imperium]]), and he tread the path of the heretic simply because he had none other to take.{{Fn|1b}}
By the time of the [[Siege of Hydra Cordatus|Battle of Hydra Cordatus]], his apathy had made him unworthy to succeed the Warsmith. Likewise, due to his fellow Captain [[Kroeger]]'s descent into maddened bloodlust, leaving him unworthy to take up the mantle. [[Honsou]] , having his potential cultivated and groomed for the position, and by dint of being the surviving captain of the siege, succeeded to the office of Warsmith instead.{{Fn|1c}} During After a number of achievements during the Hydra Cordatus campaignsiege, Forrix was killed by including being responsible for having destroyed an [[Imperial ]] [[Warhound Titan]], Forrix was killed by the garrison's remaining Warhound.{{Fn|1d}}
