Volkus Goraddin
Volkus Goraddin was a Sons of Horus Justaerin Praetor, who served as his Legion's emissary on the Death Guard's Homeworld, Barbarus, when it was invaded during the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
He would then subsequently command the Sons of Horus forces on the Plains of Orthrya, as the Loyalist Primarchs El'Jonson and Russ led a attack upon it. The Traitors were then overwhelmed due to the might of the two Primarchs and near the end of the battle, El'Jonson led his Legion upon Goraddin's position. The Praetor made ready to meet the Dark Angels' Primarch charge, but found his path blocked by one of El'Jonson's Contemptor Dreadnoughts. As his forces guarded themselves for the Primarch's attack, the Goraddin, Chaplain Haeton Fahl and the Praetor's Terminator escort attacked the Contemptor. Despite being outnumbered, however, the Dreadnought slew several of the Terminators, as nearby El'Jonson led the Dark Angels in cutting through the Sons of Horus. The Primarch's Legion then destroyed Goraddin's forces and the Praetor died at their hands.[1]
Canon Conflict
White Dwarf 481 states that Volkus Goraddin is the Sons of Horus' emissary to Barbarus[1]. However White Dwarf 478 states that Arbras Haax holds that position.[2]
