'''Kirkin''' was an [[Ongoth JackalsGeneral]] of the [[GeneralOngoth Jackals]], who turned upon the [[Imperium]] and joined '''Arch-Duke''' [[Holzhauer]]'s [[Malouri Uprising]].{{Fn|1c}}
This occurred on [[Malouri]], after the [[Priest]] [[Eris Bellona]] learned of [[Cadia]]'s [[13th Black Crusade|destruction]] and became despondent. He believed the [[Imperium]] was now close to being destroyed, but he later wrote{{Fn|1a}} a thesis on how to save it. The key factor of this, was to return the Imperium to the age when [[Goge Vandire]] ruled over [[Mankind]]. For this to happen, a military leader would need to command purging Crusade to cleanse it. After reading the thesis, [[Marshal|Lord Marshal]] [[Holzhauer]] declared himself to be that leader{{Fn|1b}} and convinced Kirkin and [[General]] [[Conoe]] to join him. This began the [[Malouri Uprising]] and Kirkin commanded [[Regiments]] of the [[Ongoth Jackals]] during the conflict. The rebels would later face the [[Cadian 101st]], whose [[Colonel]], [[Sparker]], presented an overview of Kirkin and the Uprising's other commanders. In Sparker's words, the General was an excellent duellist and personally brave. Under his command the Jackals earned battle honours on [[Scarus (World)|Scarus]] and [[Lethe Eleven]]. According to [[Astra Militarum]] sources that the Colonel had accessed to, though, the Jackals themselves were considered to be poor quality [[Guardsmen]].{{Fn|1c}}
