===Early Career===
[[Image:Preheresykharn.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Khârn before the Horus Heresy{{Fn|8}}]]
Kharn was born on [[Terra]] and was inducted into the [[World Eaters|War Hounds]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]. Trained on [[Bodt]] by the War Hounds Master of [[Neophyte]]s [[Gruner]]{{Fn|21}}, Kharn eventually rose to become [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[8th Company (World Eaters)|8th Assault Company]].{{Fn|2}}
When the War Hounds' [[primarch]], [[Angron]], was found, the entire Legion rejoiced, but their elation turned to horror when their progenitor rejected them and disavowed any interest in joining the [[Emperor]]'s forces. After forcibly teleporting the primarch aboard their [[Battle Barge]], as the Emperor had ordered, the War Hounds were forced to keep him imprisoned in a cargo hold, where he killed every Marine officer who attempted to treat with him. While the rest of the battle-barge's command staff hovered in indecision, Khârn - the next ranking officer - was the only one who volunteered to try next.{{Fn|2}}
