Urgork
Urgork is an Ork Warlord who led his hordes in an invasion of the Imperium Hive World Ikara IX sometime after the Great Rift's creation.[1a]
The Ultramarines later sent a strike force to defend Ikara IX, but when Urgork discovered that Primaris Space Marines were among the Chapter's forces, he became determined to capture one of their Apothecaries in order to unlock the secrets of their healing and biology.[1b] Urgork's commandos were able to capture the Apothecary Polixis, who was then brutally tortured by the Orks to break his spirit.[1c]
Thanks to the efforts of the Chaplain Kastor, Polixis was freed just as the Ultramarines and their Imperial Guard support advanced on Urgork's headquarters. Urgork engaged Polixis and Kastor in combat, with the Apothecary sacrificing himself to save the Chaplain by stepping in front of the Warboss' Chain Weapon. Kastor was able to kill Urgork, decimating the Ork horde and allowing for the Imperium to emerge victorious.[1d]
