a fair bit of grammar rework and removed some reduncany, not marking as minor purely because I rewrote more than one sentence.
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}}
Angron attacked Khârn as soon as he entered, and came dangerously close to killing him, but Khârn kept his composure, in such contrast to the previous officers that Angron was reluctantly impressed. Khârn ; he swore to Angron that his refusal to fight back was not cowardice, but rather the complete awe and obedience which all of the War Hounds held for their primarch. He also managed to convince Angron that, if Angron was hungry for war, then the entire Legion was at his command, and the Crusade offered a whole [[galaxy]] 's worth of enemies to slaughter.{{Fn|2}}
Khârn succeeded where the other Captains had failed, and led his primarch to the bridge of the ship to assume command of his Legion.{{Fn|2}} Becoming Angron's [[Equerry]], Khârn was able to find and convince Angron to rejoin the Legion after he abandoned them for nearly two years.{{Fn|19}} Seeking to gain his fathers respect and emulate his strength , Khârn later volunteered to have the [[Butcher's Nails]] installed into his brain, which at the time had a 100% fatality rate. However , Khârn survived the process, being the very first World Eater to endure the Nails and earn Angron's acknowledgment as his son.{{Fn|19}} During the subsequent [[Ghenna Massacre]], Khârn and Butchers NailWorld Eaters equipped with the Butcher's-equipped World Eaters Nails put down a revolt by his old comrade [[Mago]]. After a duel, Khârn slew Mago who , but not before his death declared him declaring that Angron's path would lead the World Eaters to damnation.{{Fn|19a}}
