'''Adraharsis''' was a zealous member of the [[Word Bearers]] [[Traitor Legion]], who took part in the [[Horus Heresy]] and [[The Scouring]].{{Fn|1}}
===History===
A [[Dark Apostle]] of the [[Ebon Claw]] [[Chapter (Word Bearers)|Chapter]], he took part in the [[Siege of Terra]] and was a staunch believer in the cause of [[Chaos]]. Upon the death of [[Horus]] and the flight of the Traitors from Terra, he and a small group of Word Bearers and other Traitor Astartes barely escaped in a badly damaged [[Escort|Corvette]]. They powered down their ship (at the cost of the lives of their mortal crew) to avoid detection by [[Ultramarines]] sweeper fleets, slowly gliding through the [[Sol System]] with little chance of survival. Along the way, they rescued the [[Iron Warriors]] [[Warsmith]] [[Ortag Theokon]] from a damaged gunship.{{Fn|1b}}
Distraught from the withdrawal of warp energies from Sol, he desperately sought guidance on what to do next. He received a cryptic psychic message which urged him not to run, which he interpreted as an order to resume the fight.{{Fn|1c}} Using his sorcerous abilities, the group was able to locate a concealed Word Bearers outpost on [[Neptune]]'s moon of [[Laomedeia]].{{Fn|1d}} There, they discovered that the Word Bearers under Dark Apostle [[Khal-Hanam]] were building a device dubbed the "Great Work" which would reignite the power of the Warp in the Sol System and allow them to restart the war.{{Fn|1e}}
However Ortag Theokon saw the mission as foolhardy, and was able to initiate contact with the ''[[Iron Blood]]'' and bring [[Perturabo]] to the world. Perturabo mocked the Word Bearers mission and stated their plan was a threat to his grander plan. Perturabo led a purging of the Word Bearers and stripped the moon of all of its remaining resources and personnel before moving on. Adraharsis was among those killed.{{Fn|1f}}
