'''Verngar the Apostate''' was a [[Space Marine]] of the [[Angels Encarmine]], until he was exiled for insisting that the [[Chapter]]'s [[Red Thirst]] was truly the touch of [[Chaos]].
==History==He then turned his back on the [[Imperium]] and joined the [[Red Corsairs]], where he rose to become a high ranking officer in the [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]. Huron Blackheart considers Verngar to be a potential threat to his power and capable of becoming a powerful Chaos Lord in his own right.Verngar assumed command of the Red Corsairs who garrisoned the [[Blackstone Fortress]] which had been gifted to the renegades by [[Ezekyle Abaddon]]. In this position while working with [[Kairos Fateweaver]], Verngar oversaw the temporary captivity of [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]], without the knowledge or consent of Huron himself{{Fn|1}} {{Fn|2}}.
After Guilliman's escape, Verngar assumed command of the Red Corsairs who garrisoned the returned to [[Blackstone FortressNew Badab]] which had been gifted to with the renegades by captured ''[[Ezekyle AbaddonMacragge's Honour]]''. In this positionHuron was highly suspicious of the action, worrying Verngar oversaw may try to supplant him but criticized him for allowing Guilliman to get away. Soonafter Verngar left with the ''Macragge's Honour'' to try and discover the temporary captivity of [[PrimarchEbon Talon]] , but Huron soon pursued him in his own [[Roboute GuillimanBattle Barge]], without the knowledge or consent ''[[Spectre of Huron himselfRuin]]''{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}.
After GuillimanIn the end, Blackheart agreed to allow Verngar to search for the relic, but stated he would be going along as well. By doing so, Blackheart sought to claim the Ebon Talon first and put an end to Verngar's threat to his command of the Red Corsairs{{Fn|1}}. When they reached [[Kyren]], their two forces fought together against the mutated tribes{{Fn|1c}}, but it would be Verngar who claimed the Ebon Talon first. He then made his escapewith the relic, but the Talon is what made Kyren's existence possible. Its removal caused the world to begin to come apart{{Fn|1d}} and the Red Corsairs escaped before Kyren exploded{{Fn|1e}}. Afterwards, Verngar returned 's standing within the Red Corsairs grew considerably due to recovering the relic and he now sought to further his plans of taking control of the Warband. With a group of his followers behind him, Verngar confronted Blackheart and demanded to be given command of a large fleet, so he could join the Warband's [[War for Chogoris|invasion]] of [[New BadabChogoris]] . Blackheart refused, though, stating that despite Verngar's success, he had never taken command of a war zone that stretched over an entire [[System]]. Even some of Verngar's followers agreed with this and Huron compromised by giving him another target - the [[Invaders]]' former [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]] [[Ogrys]]. It was being rebuilt for the [[Chapter]] by the Imperium and the Red Corsairs' attack upon the world, would be an opportunity for Verngar to gain command experience. Blackheart would also join Verngar aboard his warship, the captured ''[[Macragge's Honour]]'', to personally oversee his leadership abilities. {{Fn|1f}}  If Verngar was successful and impressed Blackheart, then he would be allowed to join the invasion of [[Chogoris]] with the fleet he had demanded. Verngar agreed{{Fn|1f}} and the Red Corsairs' attack on [[Ogrys]] initially went well, until the [[Red Wolves (Warband)|Red Wolves]] began disobeying [[Verngar]]'s orders. This enraged, the Red Corsair and [[Huron Blackheart|Blackheart]] was surprised, when Verngar ordered the [[Warpsmith]] [[Turazan]] to bring the Ebon Talon to him. Blackheart had been sure that Verngar could not access the relic's power and that was highly suspicious why he had not returned to activate the [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]'s [[Blackstone Fortress]]{{Fn|1g}}. But thanks to the aid of Turazan and the action[[Sorcerer]] [[Garlon Souleater]]{{Fn|1f}}, worrying Verngar may try was able to supplant him but criticized him for allowing Guilliman wield the Ebon Talon's destructive fiery might. The angered Red Corsair was then about to unleash this upon the Red Wolves' ''[[Wolf of Fenris]]'' warship, had Blackheart not intervened due to their valued worth to the Warband. However Verngar refused to relent and Blackheart could sense that the Ebon Talon was strongly influencing Verngar to give into his anger. As they continued to argue, the Wolf of Fenris suddenly attacked ''[[Macragge's Honour]]'', as the Red Wolves would not sit ideally by and die without a fight. This distracted Verngar and Blackheart struck his attempted usurper with the [[Tyrant's Claw]]'s flames, in order to finally end Verngar's threat to his leadership. Verngar quickly recovered, though, and then aimed the Ebon Talon at Blackheart. However his connection to the [[Hamadrya]], allowed Blackheart to get awayeasily [[psychically]] deflect the relic's power onto Turazan.As the Warpsmith burned alive, Blackheart ended the fight by seriously wounding Verngar and then lopping off his hand that held the Ebon Talon{{Fn|11g}}.
