Vigo the Carpathian

Vigo the Carpathian

The Night Lords warband known as "The Sons of Night" (translated from Nostromin) is lead by a Chaos Lord known as Vigo the Carpathian.

Vigo's lineage can be traced back to the 8th legion's 11th company, known as "the blood feet".
In the days of Curze, he was the leader of a Terror Squad. After the death of his Primarch, Vigo followed his company into the Eye of Terror. There they settled on a small planet along with Crom of the World Eaters and Voltan of the Emperor's Children. The three joined forces to defend their new home against the raiders and pillagers of the other traitor legions.

Over the next 10,000 years the Sons of Night grew larger in size with a swell of other Night Lords war bands who approved of how Vigo adhered to the ways of their father and generally shunned the whispers of the chaos gods.

The victory at Cadia by the forces of Abaddon the Despoiler opened up warp rifts all around the galaxy. Vigo choose this time to explore the Eastern fringes, once home to the secret bases their Primarch had decreed built to conduct the Thramas crusade back in the times of the Horus Heresy. He and his warband discovered one hidden in an asteroid belt not far from Tsagualsa, the ancient fortress were Curze was killed. It is believed that it is from their hidden base in the eastern edges of the galaxy that the Sons of Night now conduct their terror missions.
