===The Heresy Begins===
[[Image:KharnNoHelmet.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Khârn during the Horus Heresy{{Fn|28}}]]
During the infighting on [[Isstvan III]], Khârn was believed killed in action while fighting [[Garviel Loken]] of the [[Luna Wolves]], a [[loyalist]] determined to stop [[Horus]]. Khârn engaged in close combat with Loken, only to be thrown against the dozer blades of a nearby vehicle, impaling his chest. {{Fn|3}} It was believed that the blow was fatal, but this proved false.{{Fn|3}} His mangled body was discovered by one of the members of his company, [[Skane (World Eaters)|Skane]]. Khârn's friend, [[Apothecary]] [[Kargos]], subsequently saved the Centurion's life.{{Fn|12a}}
Khârn, and a squadron of World Eaters, were later dispatched to [[Prospero]] to retrieve the Moon Wolf, a sigil gifted to [[Magnus The Red]] by Horus, to prevent any other Psykers from using it to contact him, as Magnus had done in his attempt to prevent the Heresy. As an aside, Khârn also had a personal objective of locating 'mind-healing' devices of the Thousand Sons. While there he interrogated Captain [[Menes Kalliston]] of the Thousand Sons, captured after a brief battle with the World Eaters. Captain Kalliston admitted that the devices Khârn was searching for had all been destroyed but offered to use his Athanean Psyker powers to salve the guilt and pain of Kharn's mind. Decrying himself as beyond saving, Khârn rebuked Kalliston's offer and, after a brief struggle, beat the Thousand Sons Captain to death.{{Fn|9}}
