Kheron Ophion

Kheron Ophion, commonly known as "The Coward" within the VIII Legion, was a Line-Captain of the 39th Company of the Night Lords Legion and a member of the Kyroptera during the Horus Heresy. Standing almost as an exceptionnal figure within a Legion of cutthroats and thieves, Kheron Ophion displayed a level of honour previously unknown within the VIII Legion, a fact many within the Legion saw as an aberration. Ophion’s courage and sense of sacrifice would see him rewarded after the disastrous conclusion of the Thramas Crusade, when he lead his Cruiser, the Shroud of Eventide against the vastly superior forces of the Dark Angels Legion in order to buy his brothers enough time to escape the ambush the I Legion had laid for them. For this sole act of bravery and in absence of their Primarch, Konrad Kurz, Kheron Ophion was elevated to the ranks of the Kryoptera. Ophion would use this new position to gather enough warriors to lay claim to the Nostramo Sector, in an attempt to rally those scattered elements of the Night Lords and join Horus’ big push for Terra. It is believed that in this endeavour, Ophion’s forces - perhaps some 9’000 warriors in total - clashed with the Ashen Claws, a strong Blackshield force believed to have originated from the Raven Guard Legion. Although no certain proof of his death could be found, Kheron Ophion has been presumably slain.
