==History==
Maruuk was aboard their flagship the [[Conqueror]], as it traveled to take part in the [[Battle for Terra|Invasion]] of [[Terra]]. By that time however, the Conqueror had fallen under the influence of [[Khorne]], which had led the flagship to become a hostile environment to those aboard it. This led to the rapid depletion of supplies and manpower - chiefly due to the World Eaters losing themselves to mindless rages and then attacking anyone near them. This soon led Maruuk to join a group of World Eaters and crew members, who decided they needed to leave the flagship for their own safety. Led by the Conqueror's own [[Imperial Army|Captain]], [[Lotara Sarrin]] and the [[Destroyer Marine|Destroyer]] [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Skane (World Eaters)|Skane]], the group met secretly met many times, as they knew their actions would be viewed as a mutiny against their Legion. During their last meeting, Maruuk repeatedly questioned what the group planned on doing about [[Kharn]], as Maruuk knew they would be killed if he learned of their plans, but Sarrin assured the Captain that she would take care of Kharn, when the time came. After that meeting, their plans were finalized and their escape began, the next time the World Eaters' fleet exited the [[Warp]].{{Fn|1}}
As per their plan, Captain Sarrin had secured five shuttles to take the escapees to the Legion [[frigate]] [[Bestiarius]] and one by one they were filled and left the Conqueror behind. Maruuk and Skane however stayed beside Sarrin, who as Captain of the Conqueror would need to escape aboard the last shuttle, to avoid arising any suspicion. When they reached the shuttle though, Kharn confronted them before they could escape and declared them to be traitors. As Kharn then made his approach, Skane charged him and told Captain Sarrin to escape while he held Kharn back. He was no match for Kharn however and was soon beaten to the ground, but by then Maruuk had steered the shuttle clear of the Conqueror. However as the shuttles made their escape to the Bestiarius, the Conqueror suddenly fired upon them. Soon only Maruuk's shuttle remained, as the others had been reduced to scrap, and he realized that Sarrin was not aboard his shuttle. Rage then filled the Captain, as Maruuk knew that she was responsible for the destruction of the shuttles and his life was now at an end. Despite this, Maruuk contacted Sarrin aboard the Conqueror, and cursed her before asking why she had betrayed them. Sarrin however, refused to give him a reason and then gave the order to destroy Maruuk's shuttle - bringing an end to the escapees' mutiny.{{Fn|1}}
