== History ==
Maloghurst grew up in the tunnels of [[Cthonia]] as a gang leader. Unlike most gang leaders, who simply pursued petty goals, Maloghurst sought to turn himself into a king. At some point he was grievously wounded by a rival ganger, but was saved by [[Iacton Qruze]] and subsequently inducted as a [[Space Marine]].{{Fn|5}}
Maloghurst is eventually broken out of the jail by [[Kalus Ekaddon]], who helps him to Horus' throneroom. Along the way, they are forced to battle both Sons of Horus and [[Blood Angels]] from Heta-Gladius which have boarded the ''Vengeful Spirit''. Before Horus, Maloghurst conducts the ritual and again finds himself before Horus' fragmented soul, this time at [[Ullanor]] before the Triumph. He urges Horus to submit before the Gods and free his soul, saying it's too late to turn back now. Proclaiming that Horus can never be a slave as he chose this path, Maloghurst pulls out a knife and stabs the wound at Horus' side. Maloghurst sacrifices himself to free the fragment of Horus' soul trapped in the Warp, and the Warmaster woke up and resumed control of the Legion in time for the [[Siege of Terra]]. [[Argonis]] became Horus' new equerry after Maloghursts death.{{Fn|5a}}
