Editing Nârik Dreygur (section)

===Horus Heresy===
Dreygur initially pledged to the traitor cause, and fought at [[Drop Site Massacre|Istvaan V]]. During the battle, he was severely wounded by a [[Raven Guard]] [[Moritat]], which cost him Perturabo's favor. The primarch tossed Dreygur aside, just as he'd done with [[Barabas Dantioch]]. This might have spelled the end for Dreygur, but fortunately for him he was noticed by the Apolakron, an obscure warrior society of the IV Legion. They gave Dreygur a complete augmetic rebuild, grafting a cortex controller into his nervous system and inducting him into their order. This resurrection earned him the epithet of "Gravewalker". He thereafter became a Praevian, one of the Legion consuls who led maniples of battle-automata into war, and he eventually came to prefer the company of his automata to that of his Astartes brethren, many of whom followed Perturabo's example and shunned him. Despite this, he remained loyal to the IV Legion.

Along with the 114th Grand Battalion, he was deployed to Epsilon-Stranivar IX with elements of the Alpha Legion and the [[Death Guard]]. There, the Alpha Legionnaires repeatedly hung the Iron Warriors out to dry, and the grand battalion sustained heavy casualties; of six thousand Iron Warriors who made landfall on Stranivar, less than a third were alive by the end of the campaign. Dreygur was the senior surviving officer, and so was forced to take command. He vowed that he would avenge his fallen brothers, one way or another.

He later led the 114th in the Battle of Mezoa, where they once again were fighting alongside the Alpha Legion under Legate Autilon Skorr. Upon landing, the Iron Warriors were informed that any retreat would be met by orbital bombardment from the Alpha Legion fleet. Skorr proceeded to use the Iron Warriors as cannon fodder, hurling them at the loyalist forces wherever they were strongest while driving his auxiliary troops into the breaches. As Skorr was trying to end the battle quickly so he could proceed to [[Terra]] for the upcoming siege, he eventually ordered the battered 114th to launch a frontal assault against the strongest loyalist bastion on the planet, despite Dreygur's protests. The Iron Warriors made headway at first, but were eventually brought to a halt by a massive loyalist counterattack. The Alpha Legion once again left them twisting in the wind, sending in Headhunter teams to conduct surgical strikes behind enemy lines while the Iron Warriors were ground into the mud. At this point, the [[Salamanders]] [[Dreadnought]] [[Cassian Vaughn|Cassian Dracos]] approached Dreygur's position and offered him a chance at redemption, pointing out that the Alpha Legion had left him to die. Dreygur and the rest of the 114th didn't need any more convincing to turn on their erstwhile allies, and with their numbers added to the loyalists, the tide of the battle quickly swung against the Alpha Legion. Skorr was forced into a hasty retreat, losing an arm in the process. Dreygur became Dracos' confidant and second in command, and was a constant presence at the Iron Dragon's side throughout the remainder of the Heresy.
