Editing Red Corsairs (section)

==Leader==
Whilst the Corsairs operate in smaller strike groups, the ultimate leader of the Red Corsairs is the Pirate Lord of the [[Maelstrom]], [[Huron Blackheart]]. Formerly known as Lufgt Huron (a name which to this day, /tg/ is unable to pronounce(either "Loofght" or "Lufag")), Huron used to be the chapter master of the [[Astral Claws]]. They were assigned to guard and patrol the Maelstrom, an area of warp/real space overlap in Ultima Segmentum.

While a decent leader, years of being left sidelined left him bored and pissed off, and he eventually said "fuck this" and decided to take over the planet Badab, where he and the claws conquered the world for themselves and demanded tithes in the name of the Imperium - which they then kept for themselves, getting three other Space Marine chapters to join them in holding the world and turning into their own private little vacation-spot. Huron became known as the "Tyrant of Badab" for his forceful style of leadership. The Claws (and Huron) finally rushed past the moral event horizon when the Imperial Navy sent a small strike group to Badab to kick his ass.

Huron's forces repelled it, but the Imperial Navy had finally had enough of their shit and brought in a battery of heavy-duty ships to finish the job, and sent in [[Stormtrooper]]s, along with a shitton of Space Marines in the conflict that came to be known as the [[Badab War]]. Huron's forces took a major beating, and Huron himself got half of his fucking body blown off by a pissed-off [[Star Phantoms]] Captain packing a [[Meltagun]]. Legend has it, after a failed attempt at him he put his terminator boot on a dead strike team leader's chestplate (presumably to take a selfie), but the captain turned out not quite dead and shot him in the armpit point-blank with a melta instead. Oh, vanity. Barely alive, Huron's troops grabbed their master and hauled ass for the one area the Imperium wouldn't chase them through - the [[Maelstrom]]. After a few weeks, a shitload of bionics (he had to have most of the right side of his body replaced), and a little help from the Ruinous Powers, Lord Apothecary Garreon, Apothecary Secundus Variel, and Master of the Forge Armanneus Valthex (guys who had earned the nicknames "the Corpse Master", "the Flayer", and "the Alchemancer", respectively) successfully put Huron back together, and he began to rebuild his [[Red Corsair's Domain|personal empire]] through piracy, bit by bit.

Huron himself claims to be Chaos' answer to [[Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken|Colonel "Vance Motherfucking Stubbs is my Poker Buddy" Straken]], but everyone knows that's a load of bullshit.
