'''Autilon Skorr''', known as '''The King Killer''' and '''The Hydra's Headsman''', was a [[Consul-Delegatus]] of the [[Alpha Legion]] active before and during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
According to an account given by [[Alpharius]] which is said to be a lie, Skorr was one of the Alpha Legionaries who worked closest with the Primarch during the days before his formal "rediscovery". Skorr was considered by Alpharius to be a gifted diplomat, and was often used for missions that required a public face.{{Fn|3}} He had an honour to be mentioned in the [[Great Crusade]]'s [[War Council]] at least seven times for his outstanding performance in bringing to the compliance the newly discovered human worlds in the name of the [[Imperium]].{{Cite this}}
After the start of the [[Horus Heresy]] he actively participated in the [[Warmaster]]'s bloody "Dark Compliance" and at [[Epsilion-Stranivar IX]] [[the Shattered Legions]] were the only barrier between him and his victory.{{Fn|1}} Skorr treated his [[Iron Warriors]] allies poorly at both the [[Siege of Epsilon-Stranivar IX]] and the [[Siege of Mezoa]], using them as sacrificial pawns and cannon fodder. This caused [[Nârik Dreygur]] to defect to the [[Salamanders]] at the peak of the [[Mezoa]]n campaign, forcing Skorr into a hasty retreat. As he fled the world, he was badly wounded by [[Xiaphas Jurr]], losing an arm in the process.{{Fn|2}}
