Maloghurst

Maloghurst, also known as "The Twisted" was a veteran of the Legion XVI Luna Wolves, later renamed the Sons of Horus in honour of Primarch Horus's elevation to the esteemed rank of Warmaster. Maloghurst was known for talents of shrewdness, intrigue and intelligence. During the Horus Heresy he served in the role of Equerry to Warmaster Horus, serving as a public voice for the Legion XVI and enacting the Warmaster's will in the capacity of chief enforcer. His ultimate fate after the death of Horus at the Battle of Terra remains unknown.

History
Born on the world of Cthonia, Maloghurst was inducted into the Legion XVI Luna Wolves and took part in numerous campaigns during the Great Crusade. A veteran warrior amongst the Legion XVI, in his time he had served as a Company Captain, and might have even risen to the First Captaincy had he not been promoted to the office of Equerry. As a shrewd and experienced individual, it was his job to protect the Warmaster politcally, guiding and advising, blocking and out-playing political opponents. He made it his business to be aware and perfectly sensitive to every nuance and current in the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet. Maloghurst was not a well-liked Astartes, and was a difficult man to get close to, even by the intimidating standards of the Astartes. Most of his fellow battle-brothers thought of the Equerry as a facilitator, loyal only to Horus himself. Though no one was ever foolish enough to underestimate him. During the compliance of the world designated as Sixty-Three-Nineteen, Maloghurst was dispatched by the Warmaster to the planet's surface to parlay with the false leader of this world known as the 'Emperor of Mankind'. Unfortunately, Maloghurst met his fate when his Stormbird was shot down and he was horribly wounded after crash landing on the planet's surface. His body was mangled and his spine horribly twisted. His body was now as physically twisted as his foul mind. Though physically unable to serve on active status, when selected by his Primarch to serve as his trusted advisor, Maloghurst was more than willing.

Horus Heresy
After Horus's corruption on Davin, he conspired to overthrow the Emperor and install himself as the new Emperor of Mankind. It was Maloghurst's job to ensure that the Warmaster's orders were carried out, in the capacity as the chief enforcer of Horus' will. During the initial phases to rid Loyalist elements within the various Legions on Istvaan III, the Loyalist Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro seized control of the frigate Eisenstein to bring a dire warning to the Emperor of the Warmaster's treachery. It was Maloghurst who directed Death Guard First-Captain Calas Typhon aboard his ship, the Terminus Est, to intercept and prevent the Eisenstein from escaping.
