==History==
Kossolax was originally [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] of the World Eater's 3rd Assault Company known as '''Solax'''. He had been trained on [[Bodt]], took part in the [[Ghenna Massacre]], and then betrayed his brothers at [[Isstvan III]]. An unremarkable officer who never rose particularly high, Kossolax survived the Heresy all the way to the [[Siege of Terra]]. However following Angron's defeat to [[Sanguinius]] and the death of [[Horus]], the traitor invasion of Terra broke. It was then that Solax's Captain, [[Shâhka]], abandoned his brothers and retreated from orbit with the ''[[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]]''. Kossolax led his brothers in a desperate retreat and never forgave Shâhka for the betrayal. Eventually, he became a powerful [[Chaos Lord]] in his own right though like [[Abaddon]] believed himself able to resist madness and full corruption by Chaos.{{Fnfn|6d}}
Kossolax's origin as Sergeant Solax in Imperial histories largely based on sightings of the ''[[Barbarus (Rhino)|Barbarus]]'', a [[Rhino]] transporter which belonged to Solax's squad and was reportedly present during the [[Battle of Terra|Siege of the Imperial Palace]] at the height of the Heresy. Since then, the ''Barbarus'' has been spotted on numerous occasions throughout the millennia in service of Kossolax.{{Fn|1}}
Following the Siege, Solar emerged as Acting-Captain of the 3rd Company and commander of the [[Furious Aggression]]. After discovering the world [[Skalathrax]], Solax opposed the [[Devourer]] [[Goghur]]'s desire to attack the [[Emperor's Children]], warning that he would lead the 3rd Company at the first sign of aggression by Goghur.{{Fn|7a}} Solax was later part of [[Kharn]]'s deputation that met with the Emperor's Children.{{Fn|7b}}
Eventually, he became a powerful [[Chaos Lord]] in his own right thought like [[Abaddon]] believed himself able to resist madness and full corruption by Chaos.{{Fn|6d}}
