'''Lhorke''', known as '''The First''' was a [[Dreadnought]] of the [[World Eaters]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Cite thisFn|2}}
The former Legion Master before the discovery of [[Angron]] when they were still known as the War Hounds, Lhorke was gravely injured on the world of [[Jeracau]] but interred within a Dreadnought suit. He was perhaps the first Dreadnought of the World Eaters legion, and led a unit of other early prototype Dreadnoughts. During the [[Ghenna Massacre]] Lhorke was reawoken by [[Mago]] who feared that Angron would soon install the [[Butcher's Nails]] throughout the Legion. Lhorke took part in Mago's failed rebellion, but upon the [[Centurion (Rank)|Centurion]]'s death by [[Kharn]] bent the knee to Angron.{{Fn|2}} Spared the Butcher's Nails implants due to his Dreadnought status, Lhorke watched as his War Hounds descended into a force of brutal murderers and madmen. However what horrified Lhorke most of all was the slaughter of his fellow World Eaters during the [[Battle of Isstvan III]]. Nonetheless he remained loyal to his Legion and his [[Primarch]].{{Fn|1}}
