[[Image:Herek.jpg|thumb|right|{{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|1d}}]]
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a pirate lord of the [[Red Corsairs]].{{Fn|1a}}
After losing his hand and prized [[Daemon Weapon|Daemonic Blade]] to the [[Black Templars Castellan]] [[Morrigan]], Herek became determined to hunt down the loyalist [[Space Marine]]s and reclaim his possession. During the battle, Herek's forces had killed Morrigan's mentor [[Bohemund (Black Templars)|Bohemund]] and taken his head, earning the hatred of the Templars.{{Fn|1a}}
As the two sides continually hunted one another, their battle came to a climax above [[Kamidar]], where [[Battle Group Praxis]] of [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus]] was battling the [[Ironhold Protectorate]]. As the two battled, Herek reacquires his Daemon Weapon, which is revealed to be an [[Athame]] blade. He and his subordinate [[Rathek]] then step through the portal and onto the Praxis flagship ''Fell Lord'', capturing it and entering the [[Warp]].{{Fn|1b}}
Entering the chamber, Herek came before a great anvil, revealing he had been carrying the missing [[Athame|Shards of Erebus]] since previously meeting the Hand of Abaddon member [[Augury]]. He offers up the shards before the anvil, and the shards are reforged into a new [[Anathame]] dubbed [[Culler]]. However he is subsequently betrayed by Augury and [[Tharador Yheng]], who take the new sword for themselves.{{Fn|2d}} Herek survived and was healed by his [[Chaos Apothecary|Apothecary]] [[Vassago Kurgos]]. The two vowed to take back the blade.{{Fn|2d}}
