{{QuoteBox|quote = '''''Though the gates that stand between the mortal world and the immortal Realm of Chaos are now closed to me, still I would rather die having glimpsed eternity than never to have stirred the cold furrow of mortal life. I embrace death without regret as I embraced life without fear."'''''{{Fn|1}}}}
'''Kargos''', known as '''The Bloodspitter''', was an [[Apothecary]] in the 8th Company of the [[World Eaters]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. A member of Captain [[Kharn]]'s command squad, he earned his nickname "Bloodspitter" for his habit of spitting blood into the eyes of his enemies in arena combat aboard the [[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]]. During these bouts Kargos was often paired with the ferocious [[Blood Angels]] Captain [[Nassir Amit]]. Uncharacteristically for the World Eaters Legion, Kargos possessed a great sense of humor and wit and often used it to calm his comrades during their rages.{{Fn|1}}
After ==History==A member of Captain [[Kharn]]'s command squad, he earned his nickname "Bloodspitter" for his habit of spitting blood into the eyes of his enemies in arena combat aboard the [[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]]. During these bouts Kargos was often paired with the ferocious [[Blood Angels]] Captain [[Nassir Amit]]. Uncharacteristically for the World Eaters Legion, Kargos possessed a great sense of humor and wit and often used it to calm his comrades during their rages.{{Fn|1}} By the [[Siege of Terra]], Kargos had succumbed fully to madness, his Apothecary tools broken. He nonetheless was the one to discover the Heresybody of Kharn after his battle with [[Sigismund]], taking up his former Captain's [[Chain Axe]] ''[[Gorechild]]''. Guided by the [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaplain]] [[Inzar Taerus]], Kargos took part in the invasion of the [[Inner Palace]]. During an assault on a refugee convoy, Kargos was met by his former chain-brother Nassir Amit and had his throat cut. However he was able to recover, swearing retribution against Amit who simply told him to ''eat shit traitor''.{{Fn|33a}} Next, Kargos was part of the horde that assailed the [[Eternity Gate]]. During the battle he again came to blows with Nassir Amit. Kargos was again defeated, and as he lay dying on the ground was mocked for his weakness by Chaplain Taerus.{{Fn|3b}} ===Notes===According to older sources, Kargos apparently survived the Heresy and became a [[Chaos Champion]] of [[Khorne]].{{Fn|2}}It is unknown of this is still canon.
