Vortigern Hanroth
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Vortigern Hanroth is a High Admiral of the Imperial Navy, most notable for leading the defence of the Eastern Fringe against Hive Fleet Jormungandr.[1]
Hanroth led a combined fleet of not only Imperial Navy and Space Marine ships but also many Xenos vessels from the Vassalians, Cimmeriac, Donarathi and Demiurg. Despite this impressive armada, Hanroth's victory over Jormungandr was hard-fought and bloody. Hanroth did not let this temporary alliance cloud his sense of duty, however, and just five years after the defeat of Jourmungandr led his forces in the genocide of the Cimmeriac race.[1]
