Editing Lugft Huron (section)

=== Chaos Lord ===
He is now known as '''Huron Blackheart''', and those forces remaining under his command are called the [[Red Corsairs]]. After several years as a powerful space pirate, Huron would go on to gain control of a [[Red Corsair's Domain|significant portion]] of the [[Maelstrom]] (the older, but smaller brother of the [[Eye of Terror]]) with his vast pirate fleet, made up of space marines who turned traitor, many other human reavers and some Xenos mercenaries.

One of his greatest achievements as a pirate lord was the capture of the ''Wolf of Fenris''; a Strike Cruiser, where according [[RAGE|to some sources]] ''(the [[Gav Thorpe|very skubtastic]] 4th edition Chaos Codex)'', some of the defenders turned on their brethren and surrendered to the Red Corsairs.

By the end of M41, Huron is the second most powerful [[Chaos Lord]] in the galaxy after [[Abaddon]] himself; a fact that annoys Abby to no end, not least because Huron has not been subtle in hiding his ambition to take Abaddon's place as Warmaster. Not only this but Huron did it FAST, as in, in the space of several decades, since the Badab War only ended in 912.M41 so he's a relative newcomer in the grand scheme of things, but he's accumulated more power faster than many more well established warlords.

He's also powerful enough that he can just give away warriors as well by hosting the '''Skull Harvest''' in the Maelstrom, he awarded over 17,000 warriors to [[Honsou|a sick fuck]].

One thing fans tend to miss, while those that are new to the setting get right away is that Huron, being ''space pirate captain'' has cybernetics equivalents of a peg leg, hook, eye patch and even captain's parrot in a form of his daemon familiar.

Huron once lost to Typhus, who allowed him to live. In-universe, Typhus reasoned that the humiliation and resentment from such humbling might just open Huron's soul to [[Nurgle|Grandaddy]]'s influence more. (And out-of-universe, it's evidently because named characters can't permakill one another, except rare circumstances.)

The Red Corsairs possess the second last remaining Blackstone Fortress given to them by Abaddon (why? He's openly planning to replace the guy, that doesn't exactly scream 'give me superweapons' it's surprisingly good tactics from Abby for once, post-Cadia having a Blackstone Fortress puts a target on Huron's back elevating him from pirate lord to potential conqueror of systems meaning the Imperium will divert resources to dealing with Huron that could have been used against Abby). The other one was discovered in M42 and was not in any records until then.

Supposedly he now has the power [[Wat|to be at two places at once.]]
