Grulgor was born on [[Barbarus]] and like many of his legion from that planet, despised some of the old traditions that his brothers from [[Terra]] practised.{{Fn|2a}} He was very headstrong, and always looked for a chance to impress his [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]]. Shortly before the [[Battle of Isstvan III]], Grulgor and his men were stationed by [[First Captain]] [[Calas Typhon|Typhon]] on the frigate ''[[Eisenstein]]'' with Captain [[Nathaniel Garro]] and his loyal Marines, whom he was supposed to eliminate.{{Fn|2b}} He failed, and was killed by a [[virus bomb]] that was damaged in his fight with Garro's men.{{Fn|2c}}
