[[Image:Torgaddon.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Tormageddon{{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|1}}]]'''Tormageddon{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[daemon]] that was seen in the company of [[Horus Lupercal]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Sons of Horus]] [[Legion]], during the [[Horus Heresy]], presumably part of the army of [[warp]] creatures summoned in preparation for the [[Battle of Terra]].{{Fn|1}}
Tormageddon was summoned into the [[Materium]] by [[Erebus]], [[First Chaplain]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion, during the [[Battle of Calth]]. Erebus used a fragment of the remains of [[Tarik Torgaddon]], a [[loyalist]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Luna Wolves]] killed on [[Isstvan III]] at the start of the Heresy.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2b}} A strange by-product of this ritual summoning was that some fragment of Torgaddon's spirit remained sentient and free, and was able to communicate with his old friend [[Garviel Loken]] on [[Luna]].{{Fn|3}} According to Tormageddon himself, he was birthed from the betrayal and horror the [[Isstvan Atrocity]] and combined with Tarik's Spirit in the Warp.{{Fn|5}} Tormageddon was again summoned to the [[Materium]] before the [[Battle of Molech]] by [[Maloghurst]] and [[Serghar Targost]], possessing the body of the brain-dead Sons of Horus legionnaire [[Ger Gerradon]].{{Fn|4}}
