[[Image:KargosArt2.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Kargos Bloodspitter during the [[Horus Heresy]]{{Fn|6}}]]
A member of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain ]] [[Khârn]]'s [[Space Marine Command Squad|command squad]], he earned his nickname "Bloodspitter" for his habit of spitting blood into the eyes of his enemies in arena combat aboard the [[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]].{{Fn|1e}} During these bouts Kargos was often paired with the ferocious [[Blood Angels]] Captain [[Nassir Amit]].{{Fn|1d}} The two gained a strong bond, particularly after [[Sanguinius]] and [[Angron]] themselves witnessed a much-publicized fight to the death with two World Eaters champions.{{Fn|3b}} Uncharacteristically for the World Eaters [[Legion]], Kargos possessed a great sense of humor and wit and often used it to calm his comrades during their rages.{{Fn|1c}}
Kargos followed his legion into rebellion, and helped to kill his loyalist brethren during the [[Battle of Isstvan III]]. In the battle's aftermath, he saved the life of Khârn who had been horribly wounded in combat.{{Fn|1b}} By the [[Siege of Terra]], Kargos had succumbed fully to madness, his Apothecary tools broken. He nonetheless was the one to discover the body of Khârn after his battle with [[Sigismund]], taking up his former Captain's [[Chain Axe]] ''[[Gorechild]]''.{{Fn|3c}} Guided by the [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaplain]] [[Inzar Taerus]], Kargos took part in the invasion of the [[Inner Palace]]. During an assault on a refugee convoy, Kargos was met by his former chain-brother Nassir Amit and had his throat cut. However he was able to recover, swearing retribution against Amit who simply told him to "eat shit [sic], traitor".{{Fn|3a}}
Next, Kargos was part of the horde that assailed the [[Eternity Gate (Imperial)|Eternity Gate]]. During the battle he nearly slew [[Arkhan Land]], killing his pet cyber-monkey sapian[[Sapien]]. Later in the vicious melee he again came to blows with Nassir Amit. Kargos was again defeated, and as he lay dying on the ground was mocked for his weakness by Chaplain Taerus.{{Fn|3b}}
Despite his mortal wounds, he somehow recovered and even managed to escape [[Terra ]] after [[Horus]]'s death. He joined the bulk of the now-leaderless World Eaters fleet during the [[Great Scouring]], and killed the captain of one company to take charge of his warriors. Thus, Kargos rose to lead his own [[Chaos Warband|warband]], and even served in the Legion's consultative "Enclave".{{Fn|5}} At some point, he also became a [[Chaos Champion]] of [[Khorne]].{{Fn|2}} When the World Eaters ultimately sought refuge at [[Skalathrax]] in the [[Eye of Terror]], finding the world already claimed by the [[Emperor's Children]], Kargos was one of the commanders advocating for an immediate attack.{{Fn|5}}
