The '''Legio Interfector''', also known as the '''Murder Lords''', are a [[Traitor Titan Legion]] of [[Chaos]] based in the [[Eye of Terror]].
==Overview==
During the [[Great Crusade]] the young [[Forge World]] of [[Valeous II]] was chosen as the homeworld for the newly founded Legio Interfector. The original Titans of the Legion consisted of a shipment of unconsecrated engines sent from [[Lucius]] to [[Graia]]. Upon being deployed from the Crusade with the intent of supporting the [[Ultramarines]] in [[Ultima Segmentum]], 3/4th of the Legio was instead cast adrift in the [[Warp]] and found itself instead in a warzone between the [[Luna Wolves]] and an [[Abominable Intelligence]] known as the [[Chroxius Myriad]]. The arrival of the Legio quickly turned the course of the war and the Interfector forged strong ties with [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] as a result, who bestowed the Legion the title the "Lords of Valour". For the remainder of the Crusade the Legio fought under the banner of Horus, who became an idol to its [[Princeps]].{{Fn|3}}
Thus it is little surprise that the Legio sided with Horus during his [[Horus Heresy|rebellion against the Emperor]]. However it is said a madness of unknown origin had infected the minds of its Princeps, twisting and subverting them solely to worship of Horus. After taking part in the [[Battle of Isstvan III]] for three days the Legion departed, scattering across the stars. Elements of its forces moved on [[Valeous II]], successfully spreading their madness to the [[Tech-Priest]]s of the world and its forges dedicated solely to the service of Horus. From that day forward the Lords of Valour were no more, instead replaced with insanity. They moved from world to world, obliterating all in the name of Horus. By this point its Titans were broadcasting the gibbering prayers of its crews, interspersed with peas for blood and whispers in unknown tongues. Soon enough the Legion earned a new moniker - the Murder Lords.{{Fn|3}} During the subsequent Heresy, the Legion is also known to have took taken part in the [[Battle of Molech]]{{Fn|2}} and the [[Siege of Terra]].{{Fn|24}}
In late [[M41]] they allied with the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Kor Megron]] in the [[Battle of Eagle Gate]], and the [[Warlord Titan]] ''[[Sin of Commission]]'' led the attack. In the battle, they lost the [[Chaos Reaver Titan|Reaver Titan]] ''[[Soulmauler]]'' to [[Ultramarines]] forces, while the ''[[Purge Master]]'' was crippled.{{Fn|1}}
