Kol Saresk Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Okay, I have a rather distinct memory of there being a general mention of where Khârn is from, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know which BL Heresy Book it was in and if possible, a page number? Thank you in advance.

Kol Saresk Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah I know that much but for some reason I remember something saying that he was from a mountainous region of Terra and I wasn't sure where I read that. Hence me asking for a book and page number. For some reason I am fixating on Betrayer but I can't find it.

Adra'Melek Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Betrayer, chapter 18, 3rd section. 1st paragraph. It just says that Khârn was reminded of climbing jagged peaks where he was born. I have e book so no page numbers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270535-where-was-kharn-from-again/#findComment-3295205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think he must be somewhere from Asia. His descrption in the third book of the HH seems to imply it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270535-where-was-kharn-from-again/#findComment-3295366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's a bit shaky, I know, but given the accent he had when his character was voiced in Butcher's Nails I'd surmise he's from the Urals. Of course, that's just conjecture based on one voice actor, mind you.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm with Olisredan. Based on the accent in Butcher's Nails I thought he was supposed to be from Russia/Romania which would fit with the Urals.

Kol Saresk Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sorry, I know I'm double posting, but this is on a more personal, curious note rather than a "I need help finding a passage because someone is being mislead by wrong information from wikipedia." Basically, where was it first said that Khârn was Terran at all? Was it in the Horus Heresy series? Or was it much older? For some reason I am remembering it as one of those things that "have always been" so I was curious if anyone actually remembered or had a general idea?

For some reason I am remembering it as one of those things that "have always been" so I was curious if anyone actually remembered or had a general idea? Fairly sure there's a short story when Angron is first given to his Legion. All the high ranking officers gathered outside the chamber and went in one by one to be slaughtered by Angron. It was implied that this was the start of the World Eaters under Angron and the first time they met their primarch so all the Legionaries where Terran at the stage. Having a search through books it was After Desh'ea from Tales of Heresy. Khârn was a captain at that stage, even if the War Hounds started taking candidates from other worlds (never mentioned that any legion did this before meeting their primarch) it's fairly certain that Khârn is from Terra. That's the only source I remember for a Terran Khârn but I don't follow Khârn's fluff so there could be older/contradicting fluff. It'd be worth checking some of the older editions of the Choas Marines codex though.

Kol Saresk Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 EDIT: Is that the first mention of Khârn being Terran or is it older? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270535-where-was-kharn-from-again/#findComment-3295476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I wouldn't rely on audiobook accents too much to identify someone's heritage, the White Scars sounded like stereotype Jamaicans.

Kol Saresk Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, we do know that he lives on a mountain range at an elevation that he sees year-round snowfall. To be honest, the first thing that pops into mind is the Himalayas or the Alps(not considering the accent) but that is due to my general lack of knowledge about the specific geography in that part of the world. But since they made an effort to have the same person talk the exact same way for two different audiobooks in portraying Khorne, who knows? Besides, what's wrong with the White Scars speaking with a Jamaican accent? Just because they look and act Mongolian, it doesn't mean they have to talk like it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270535-where-was-kharn-from-again/#findComment-3295908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
