Editing Mortarion (section)

===The Draigo Incident===

'''TL;DR''': he got his ass handed to him by [[Kaldor Draigo]] who carved the name of the previous SUPREME GRAND MASTER, Geronitan, into one of Mortarion's hearts.

The longer story, as told by the Audio Drama ''Mortarion's Heart'': Geronitan more or less baited Mortarion and allowed whole sectors to die under the Primarch's massive force (every Nurgle cult and warband within 100 sectors) until he showed up at Kornovin, which was one of the few places the Grey Knights could perform the ritual to bind his soul and kill him for good. It failed due to the fact that Geronitan forgot to wear a helmet so Mortarion just Plague Winded him to death and laughed as the entire Grey Knights Chapter cried ([[Derp|yes, this happened]]). But when you think that just a Hive-World has between 10 billion and 500 billion humans on it, and that one sector will probably have dozens of these types of planets (plus Shrine Worlds, at the very least one or two Forge Worlds, at least one Astartes Chapter, Knight Worlds, etc.), this retarded death was probably the Emperor' punishment for his [[Abaddon|massive failures]].

Afterwards, Kaldor got elected, mostly because he's the most expendable Grand Master who's also skilled enough to fight the Death Lord. Grand Master Crom gave Kaldor a potent weapon, the true name The Emperor gave to Mortarion.

After a laughably short and one sided fight, which was really just Mortarion punching Kaldor in the face over and over again, Kaldor was able to light Mortarion's cape on fire when Mortarion eventually got a hand cramp. Mortarion paused for a second because that was his VERY favorite cape and became distracted enough to allow Kaldor to slip Mortarion's true name into the Death Lord's mind, which caused him to [[wat|FUCKING EXPLODE]] somehow. Usually this would result in the demon being immobilized at most (e.g Azrael versus a DP of Tzeentch in "Trials of Azrael), but Morty's True Name came from Big E himself so that would fuck Morty up BIG TIME. Kaldor then crawled over to a helpless, nearly broken in half Mortarion and wrote Geronitan's name on Mortarion's heart in magic marker.

He is still incredibly [[Iron Warriors|bitter]] about his loss. [[Perturabo|More so than usual, anyway]]. It came to a head in [[Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters]], where ol' Morty boy orchestrated a plague some time post-Cicatrix called the Bloom of Nurgle that would potentially threaten Terra, which was really just a [[Trap|trap]] in attempt to [[FATAL|get even]] with the upstart [[Butthurt|who humiliated him and vandalized his heart]]. Draigo and 4 other Grey Knights (along with 4 others doing a rearguard to block off reinforcements) would stop this plan and defeat Morty in Nurgle's OWN BACKYARD.

Amazingly, Matt Ward had nothing to do with any of this- it was [[Aaron Dembski-Bowden]] of all people, the guy who spent most of his own Grey Knights book jacking off over the Space Wolves.
