Editing Horde of the Hated (section)

==Notable Members==
 
===Lord Hordemaster Gregorio Valua===
Nicknamed "The Iron Wall" Gregorio is supreme commander of the horde, and, whilst in the Starguard, was considered to be somewhat a Defensive Genius, knowing how to deploy his troops to minimize casualties to his own troops, whilst maximizing those of the enemies and defend his charge for the maximum amount of time. Although officially known as a humble man that does his duty to further humanity, in reality, Gregorio is a man that is totally dedicated to furthering his own ambition. Of becoming known as the greatest tactical genius that humanity has ever known. He wants future generations to visit a statue of him on Terra, that they will draw inspiration from. To this extent, he has used his sway as the leader of the horde, to request that the Horde be deployed to locations that would normally be unconscionable, such as their attempt to assist the Thunder Kings in breaking the Seige of Terra. After witnessing others that were vocal about their ambition to be much the same, that became the butt-end of many jokes among the officers, Gregorio decided to achieve this ambition through results only. That way, if he were to fail, then he could at least be remembered as a humble officer, rather than an ambitious fool.

In the Closing years of the Great Crusade, he was a General in the Haeltoth Starguard, specializing in Defensive tactics. Gregorio had grown up on the poor planet of Rakantha IV, a backwater planet near the Haeltoth sector, that a lot of the Imperium’s less desirables were sent, so he was used to having to accept help from Xenos, Mutants and Abhumans. When he was old enough, he joined the local Army, quickly raising to the rank of sergeant. During a battle with an encroaching Ork Waaagh! the army had been the first hit and suffered almost total losses, several platoons only surviving thanks to the intervention of the [[Haeltoth Starguard]]. Gregorio, himself had been leading a heavy weapons team that had kept the green tide at bay with a trio of heavy bolters and an autocannon. The remnants of the army were assimilated into the Starguard.

When the Horde was being organized, the Uryallan government sent out requests for officers to ensure loyalty in their ranks and efficiency in their results. Gregorio, seeing the chance to be put at the forefront of an entire army, volunteered. With his service record, he was made supreme commander.

===Faran Philkaydick===
A Cybornetically enhanced Beastman and Storm Caller Prime of the 1st Imperial Hammers. He was part of the personal retinue of Lord Hordemaster Gregorio. Faran was severely wounded during the battle of Xandian, attempting to give his life for his Lord. With this act, he was granted cybornetic replacements to his legs and right arm. The Beastman was known as an incredible fighter, enhanced by his cybornetic implants. He fought for the Emperor's favour, but not because he wanted it. As a father of 26, wanted his children to be able to grow up with the favour of the Emperor.

He is believed to have died in a skirmish with Daemons on the Jovien Colonies of Jupiter.

===Discipline Master Gorash Braman===
A Beastman, and one of the very few Abhumans to be honoured with the title of Discipline Master, trained for no other purpose than to give the Abhumans a figurehead and an illusion of power within the Imperium. Gorash lead several successful campaigns during the Great Crusade and was known as a fierce combatant. He was killed by Aubrey, when the Corrupted Primarch attempted to convert the Horde to his cause. The Discipline Master fought with untold ferocity, but was, ultimately, no match for the Primarch. His death inspired the rest of the Horde to resist the corrupting hand of Chaos. In Life, Gorash was known for his lack of fear, knowing that life or death, the Emperor would forgive him. He believed, with insane fervor, that if he fought hard enough, then the Emperor would grant him Human form for his loyalty.

Although a notable figure in the Horde at the time, the story would change as it was passed down through the generations. By M32, stories told that Gorash was a human, and that Gorash's chainsword had put a dent in Aubrey's armour that the Daemon Prince would never forgive. It was a supposed weak spot that would allow a strong warrior that was completely dedicated to the Emperor, to crack and kill his heretical son.

Although he is remembered as a hero, he was known, to most of his men, as a monster. Gorash had undergone extremely powerful indoctrination, making him notoriously more cruel than most Discipline Masters. He reviled his own kind as scum. One of his tactics, nicknamed the "Gorash Steel Box" was to lock his men in their Rhino's, driving them slowly to the edge of insanity with the severe heat and claustrophobia, then releasing them as one giant wave of half-crazed beasts. It was this ferocity and efficiency that made the Hordemaster grant Gorash command of the 3rd Batallions 2nd Company. Gorash's Company was also known for their ability to speak High Gothic... This was because Gorash made a policy of handing out severe punishment to those that would not speak the Emperors language. Gorash and the Hordemaster did not get on, but they both were forced to respect each other for their effectiveness as leaders.

===Great Shaman Maa Rhamyu===
Maa was Queen of the Beastmen, when the Emperor came to their world. Although the Emperor came looking for one of his lost Primarchs, as his ship had discovered a notable Psyker presence. He found that, upon setting foot on the world, the population broke down on their knees and bowed to him. Further questions were raised when he found a great statue of solid gold had been erected of him. He was brought to their queen, who bowed before his glory, she explained that, his immense Psyker presence had been sensed all the way out on their world, and, since then, shamans of their people had seen his face in many different visions and that, they believed it was their duty to serve him. The Emperor was apprehensive and about to call down Exterminatus on the Abhumans, when he was stopped by his son, Hektor, who saw that, although they were not fully human, they were incredibly loyal, and would serve the Imperium well, until such time as they were no longer useful, then they could be exterminated at their leisure. Maa was no longer Queen, seeing as the Emperor was now their only leader, she still served as his voice among his most loathed of servants. Maa was an incredible Psyker, but was also incredibly long-lived, still serving when the Beastmen were converted into the Horde of the Hated. She became chief adviser to the Lord Hordemaster.

When the Council of Nikaea convened, and the order that all Psykers be removed from the Astartes, Maa was brough under investigation. Although the ruling was aimed at the Astartes, rather than the Army (the risk that the Army posed, by going rogue, being marginal, next to that of the Astartes.) All other Shamans in the army were either executed, or taken by the Culexus' to serve as target practice for their anti-psyker warriors and guinea pigs in their attempts to find new and more effective methods of killing these poxes upon the Imperium. Maa, at the insistence of Gregorio, was simply given a handler to make sure that she did not utilize her Psyker powers. She spent the rest of the Crusade under the watchful eye of Judge Garral Montan, with a boltgun almost buried in the back of her skull. During this time, she did not utilize her Staff, instead taking a sword to battle.

Her most hated of enemies are Chaos Space Marines, due to them having been born with the favour of the Emperor, but throwing it away for a cheap power trip from false idols, it is a sin which can never be atoned for.

===Judge Garral Montan===
''"All Law is made by those who answer to His Majesty, the Law is his word, to question his law is to question his word, to break his law is to defy him... To defy him, is death..."''

'''Work ethic of Judge Garral Montan.'''

Garral was a judge from the Adeptus Arbites that openly opposed Psykers, especially the abhuman ones. As much as he despised Abhumans and Psykers, he held the belief that anything that was even partially human was to be protected by the laws that were laid down by The Emperor. To the extent that, he was court-marshaled for executing a human for the attempted murder of an abhuman. After the court marshal convened, it was decided that he had upheld the law as it had been written. But the protection of an Abhuman life at the cost of a Human one was still very much a reviled thing to do. For this, his commanding officers decided to assign him to the Uryalla subsector, a subsector that was notorious for it's copious quantity of Abhumans. When the Council of Nikaea convened, all Psykers were placed under a very watchful eye. Those of the Uryalla Subsector were placed under the eye of Garral. However, as an Arbites, he was bound by the law. whilst Maa kept her powers under control, he was forbidden to kill her.

Being an Arbites, his involvement on the battlefield was non-existant. He had been assigned to enforce the Emperors laws, not fight his battles. He would usually stay at the Hordes command center, during battle, and monitor Maa from a Servo Skull. That being said, his expertise were sometimes called upon when the Horde were forced to fight in an urban area, and his experience with deploying Arbites in such conditions made him a most useful advisor.

===Grumm "Head-Puller" Plorgan===

Plorgan was an Ogryn from Anark Zeta and considered somewhat a genius. Able to speak a full sentence, even before his Bone'Ead implants were placed in him. Plorgan quickly made a name for himself in the Horde, due to his penchant for pulling the heads off of his enemies, whilst they were still alive. Plorgans skills quickly made him a Bone'Ead, complete with implants, that granted him improved speech ability (Now capable of even including adjectives into his sentences) Plorgan was most well known for his actions in the Gutgrinda campaign, slaying the Warboss personally, when charging the warboss who was attempting to kill the Techpriest that was in control of the Charonites. He killed the beast by grasping the Orks head, underneath the jawline, standing on its shoulders, then raising his arms until they were fully above his head. Plorgan wore the Boss' skull as a helmet from then-onward. To help him with his unique penchant for decapitation, the Techpriest that he had saved, crafted him a Power Fist.
