Biography

In M42, the Butcherhorde was among the Traitor Legion's hordes that invaded the Imperial world Etariis and arrived there aboard their warship the Crimson Chain. Though the Imperium's forces arrived to defend it, the World Eaters overwhelmed them and devastated the world. Shortly afterwards, though, the Traitor Legion began hearing a howling that only they could hear. This led them to begin leaving Etariis, even as the Imperium's surviving forces on the doom world were trying to evacuate as well. This presented the Butcherhorde an opportunity to claim a new warship to reach the Howling's location, as the Crimson Chain had been destroyed as the battle for Etariis raged. Led by Kharn the Betrayer himself, the Butcherhorde boarded the Marines Malevolent Strike Cruiser Catechism using landing craft and began slaying its defenders. As others raced to seize vital locations needed to gain control of the Strike Cruiser, Urzhek made for the Catechism's Apothecarion to claim the Marines Malevolent's gene-seed. However, the Berzerker-surgeon claimed that, since it came from weaklings, the gene-seed would require substantial work before he could use it to replenish the Butcherhorde's ranks.[1]
