Lufgt Huron - Lufgt Huron: Lufgt Huron, also known as "Huron Blackheart" and the "Tyrant of Badab," was once the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws and self-claimed Imperial governor of the world of Badab Primaris in the Maelstrom Zone of the Ultima Segmentum.But ultimately, Huron was corrupted in his ambitious pursuit of power and he tainted most of his Chapter as well, leading them into an open rebellion against the Imperium of Man, known as the Badab War, which lasted from 901-912.M41.Badly wounded at the end of his rebellion, and bound to machines which keep him alive and forever in pain, Huron is now a scarred creature of hate. His machine claw clicking, he has strode to battle time and again, followed by his Daemonic companion the Hamadrya, and each time the agony of his existence grows and the spite within him deepens.Reborn as the Chaos Lord "Huron Blackheart," he is an inhuman servant of Chaos who now lives only to bleed the Imperium he once served. Master of the warband of piratical Chaos Space Marines called the Red Corsairs and Lord of the Maelstrom, he is the dark-souled king of an empire of monsters.Dwelling within the swirling madness of the Maelstrom, Blackheart has slowly built an empire amongst the Renegades and Heretics of that great Warp rift that will soon rival the strength of the forces of Chaos that call the Eye of Terror home. Reaving into the Imperium at the head of a fleet of Renegades and Traitors, he has grown in power even as the light of the Imperium has grown dim and tattered.As a rebel Space Marine, Lugft Huron was critically injured by a melta blast during the fighting inside the Palace of Thorns on Badab Primaris at the culmination of the Badab War. His Chapter, the Astral Claws, had sworn to fight to the death protecting their Chapter Master and their world, but when they saw that Badab was lost, they seized Huron's body and fought their way past the Imperial blockade in a handful of voidships. Once away from the Badab System, they plunged into the Warp rift known as the Maelstrom to evade pursuit.But the Tyrant lived. One side of his body had to be almost entirely reconstructed with bionics while the Astral Claws' ships hung in the Maelstrom. Within twelve solar days, Huron could stand, and he donned his Terminator Armour with grim determination. His followers hailed his recovery as a dark miracle. Huron's limited forces were still powerful enough to overwhelm the first pirate stronghold he found, slaughtering the corsairs in a matter of solar hours.The survivors soon learnt to fear his fury, swearing allegiance to the Tyrant and becoming his slaves. As he claimed the allegiance of ever more of the Maelstrom's denizens, Huron Blackheart was born. His power continued to grow, and he welded together a piratical empire of Heretics and Renegades. His Chaos Space Marines became the Red Corsairs, named for the blood-red colour they used to obliterate their old heraldries.In recent years, the Red Corsairs' attacks have become less frequent, as though they are waiting for something. When Huron himself leads a raid, however, they are much more brazen, known to ambush well-protected convoys and relying on speed and overwhelming force to take their prizes. The strength of the Red Corsairs grows daily, and the name of Huron Blackheart is whispered fearfully across a score of Imperial sectors.As a consummate raider with dozens of fleets at his disposal, Huron Blackheart has more material wealth that any warlord within a hundred light years of the Maelstrom. His Tyrant's Claw is a masterwork bionic that combines a set of serried talons, each swathed in a crackling disruption field, with an internal heavy flamer in its palm that can incinerate those who displease him. The strange quadruped that slinks in Blackheart's shadow is known as the Hamadrya, a bizarre and possibly daemonic Familiar that bestows powerful psychic ability upon its master.No matter how rich and esoteric his trappings, however, the Tyrant can never escape the wracking pain that has haunted him since his fall during the Badab War. Perhaps it is this near-constant agony that adds fuel to the fires of wrath in Blackheart's soul; perhaps it is nothing more than pure hatred. Either way, this lord of mayhem is possibly the deadliest Renegade in the annals of Imperial history.
