=== The Heresy ===
[[Image:GrulgorChaos.jpg|thumb|right|180px|The resurrected Ignatius Grulgor corrupted by the powers of [[Nurgle]] ]]
Grulgor was a [[Barbarus]]-born on [[BarbarusAstartes]] 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}}
However while the ''Eisenstein'' was in transit through the [[warp]], attempting to reach [[Terra]] after fleeing the Isstvan system, the ship's [[Gellar Field]] began to fail, and Grulgor and his fellow traitors were gifted by [[Nurgle]] with new life. They proceeded to attack the loyalist Death Guards once again. Grulgor managed to infect one of Garro's men, [[Solun Decius]], with [[Nurgle's Rot]], and almost triumphed over Garro. In desperation, Garro ordered an emergency reversion to [[realspace]]. Without the warp's infernal power sustaining them, Grulgor and his corrupted brethren were killed, their souls sucked back into the Immaterium.{{Fn|2d}}
