Calas Typhon
First Captain of the Death Guard, Herald of Nurgle
Also known as Typhus, Typhus the Traveller, Herald of Nurgle
Homeworld: Barbarus
Calas Typhon was First Captain of the Death Guard, a Barbarus half-breed who learned Chaos before Mortarion did and then made sure his primarch could not refuse it. He murdered the fleet's Navigators and led the XIV into the Warp trap that became the Destroyer Hive.
Nurgle paid him in flies, a manreaper, and a new name. Typhus the Traveller has spent ten thousand years spreading plagues from the Terminus Est, often in spite of Mortarion rather than for him. The Herald thinks he is closer to the god's vision than the son.
He is still Typhon when it matters. The Death Guard learned that on the way to Terra and have been relearning it ever since.
