'''The Beast''' was one of the most powerful [[Ork]] [[Warbosses]] to have ever lived. In 544.[[M32]] he united much of the Ork race and nearly succeeded in conquering the [[Galaxy]].{{Fn|1b}} His [[Waaagh!]] was the largest the Galaxy has ever seen and rampaged across the [[Imperium]], eclipsing even the one [[Horus]] defeated during the [[Ullanor Crusade]] which earned him the title of [[Warmaster]]. The Beast was a highly intelligent Ork, capable of speaking flawless [[Gothic]]. Embittered by the humiliation of the Ork race during the Ullanor Crusade, he intended to cripple humanity and rule the galaxy.{{Fn|6}} The Imperium only halted his advance at great cost and desperate measure, devastating the [[Adeptus Astartes]].{{Fn|1a}}
