==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, Solax survived the Heresy all the way to the [[Siege of Terra]].{{fn|6d}}{{fn|6b}} There, his [[Rhino]] transporter ''[[Barbarus (Rhino)|Barbarus]]'' was documented by the Imperium; this sighting later allowed the Imperials to identify Solax as "Kossolax".{{Fn|1}} Neither Kossolax nor the rest of his company came near the [[Imperial Palace|Imperial Throneroom]] during the battle on Terra, as their strength was broken by the [[Imperial Fists]] and [[Blood Angels]] during the early siege.{{Fn|6c}}
However, following [[Angron]]'s defeat to [[Sanguinius]] and the death of [[Horus]], the traitor invasion of Terra broke. Solax and his comrades escaped from Terra, but they were relentlessly pursued by the loyalists. It was then that Solax's Captain, [[Shâhka]], took the ''[[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]]'' and fled, leaving most of the 3rd Assault Company behind to die on another ship. Solax led his brothers in a desperate retreat and never forgave Shâhka for the betrayal.{{fn|6e}}
