→Early History: past tense
Talgron left Terra shortly after, commanding the 34th Company in the [[Shadow Crusade]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. During the [[Percepton Campaign]] Talgron hunted down a team of [[Ultramarines]] that had retreated to an underground bunker but was too late to prevent them from triggering a bombardment of [[phosphex bombs]] that burned away all life on the planet. His flesh melting into his armour, Talgron was rescued from the surface and died on the [[Apothecary|apothecary's]] slab, but in near-death experienced a vision of [[Lorgar]] that opened his mind to the wonders of [[Chaos]] and allowed him to live. His body rebuilt with a mixture of [[augmetic]]s and [[Warp]]-mutations, Talgron became a [[Dark Apostle]].{{Fn|1}}
During the final battles for the [[Inner Palace]], the hulking Sor Talgron, now fully consumed by [[Chaos]], meets [[Imperial Fists]] [[Captain]] [[Fafnir Rann]] in battle. Talgron had known Rann during the [[Great Crusade]], and between his maddened chantings of the "Dark King" expressed disappointment that the Imperial Fist was rejecting the gifts of Chaos. Despite is his formidable combat prowess and strength, he is was cut apart by Rann after a difficult battle. Talgron's butchered corpse was carried away by the Word Bearers and he was subsequently reborn as a [[Dreadnought]], despite it being the one fate he always rejected.{{Fn|5}}
