Igori was Bile's most favoured Gland Hound.{{Fn|1a}} At some point over her many centuries of life, Fabius' fleet stumbled into a [[Hrud]] migration and she single-handedly killed one of the [[xenos]], keeping its skull as a trophy.{{Fn|2d}} Igori ruled the rest of Bile's creations through strength and a higher degree of intelligence than the rest of the mostly primitive creatures, killing her second, [[Oritz]], for continually challenging and testing her leadership in his brutish ways.{{Fn|1b}} Fabius had a degree of fondness for Igori and the rest of her kind, believing that they will one day inherit the [[galaxy]] as the superior species of humanity.{{Fn|2b}}
Over the decades following [[The Shattering|the raid]] on [[craftworld]] [[Lugganath]], Igori would retain her prominence as the ''[[Vesalius]]'' travelled the [[Eye of Terror]]. She would sire a new generation of New Men, having many children and grandchildren, becoming a matriarch of her race and passing on much of her knowledge earned under the tutelage of Bile.{{Fn|2a}} The twins [[Maysha]] and [[Mayshana]] were two notable children or grandchildren of hers.{{Fn|2e}} Even in her advanced age, she would continue to hunt with her packs and put down traitors aboard the ''Vesalius''. The New Men and those loyal among the [[Consortium]] would intermittently stop several attempted coups aboard her Benefactor's vessel.{{Fn|2a}} As the centuries caught up with her, her joints grew stiff, her hair turned white and frame thinned. She would teach others to hunt, rather than doing so herself.{{Fn|2d}} Despite her infirmity, she could still go toe-to-toe with an Astartes and .{{Fn|2g}} After the events on [[Solemnace]] involving the clone of [[Fulgrim]], Igori chose to go into voluntary exile on [[Belial IV]], along with a pack of gland-hounds who chose to follow her. Even at well over two centuries old, she continued to defend her position as pack leader for many yearsdecades, all without regular [[rejuvenat]] treatments.{{Fn|2g3d}}
During the [[Battle of Belial IV]], Igori was mortally wounded defending Fabius from the [[Dark Eldar]]. Dying, she was met by [[Melusine]], who offered her a way to survive.{{Fn|3a}} After the battle, a dying Fabius was later discovered by Melusine and Igori, who had merged into a single being. They told him that he was not dying but simply going to sleep and when he awoke his work would begin anew. He was taken by the [[Daemon]]s and placed inside a casket in the [[Webway]], where he would sleep until he was needed again.{{Fn|3b}}
