Xel-Oreka
"The death of this planet gives life to the Omnissiah's wrath."
Xel-Oreka the Redjak Ravager was a Myrmidon Destructor of the Hell Forge Sarum, who took part in the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
He was amongst its forces that defended the then Forge World from an invasion by Orks, during the Great Crusade. They were ultimately saved by the World Eaters' 13th Expeditionary Fleet as the Legion waged the Golgothan Slaughter. Sarum pledged its service to the World Eaters afterwards and Xel-Oreka was amongst the forces that the Forge World sent to fight besides their saviours. This led the Myrmidon Destructor to take part in further battles of the Golgothan Slaughter and Xel-Oreka used that time to study the World Eaters, so that he could replicate the Legion's brutality. When the Horus Heresy later erupted, Sarum followed the World Eaters into serving Warmaster Horus and Xel-Oreka fought beside them as one of the Hell Forge's warlords. All the while, the Myrmidon Destructor continued his study of the Traitor Legion and his research of the World Eaters was eventually pushed into further extremes as the Horus Heresy wore on.[1]
