Okay Draigo managed to best Mortarion in battle. Okay it'd be a stretch but I can follow it. It would have be to a supreme battle of wills and tests of strength for a Grey Knight to even survive long enough to go Toe to Toe with a Demon primarch. Oh it was Draigo AND the other Grey Knight Grand Masters? Okay now the fights getting interesting. Mortarion probably has the Host of Plagues made up of 8 Great Unclean ones and they're in a hall that is just saturated by Nurgle's filth to the point that even a normal space marines enhanced biology would be rendered worthless were they to take their helmet off making it even more of a desperate battle on the part of the Grey Knights. One by one they would have to combine their respective strengths and abilities to beast each of the greater daemons in order to weaken Mortarions power and actually get to it, and then it's only Draigo and 2 or 3 of the other Grand Masters to stand against the Primarch of Death, all of them ready to give their lives to banish the monster from the realm of man...
wait... Draigo carved his name into Mortarion's heart? The hell?! So literally that's all it says, that he managed to carve his name into Mortarion's heart? Really? Um, there's a word I would like Ward to study up on next time he goes to write fluff: Context. As in give us some context of the events. Don't just say "And he did this". It's like saying "At the end of the Crusade the Emperor killed Horus." You're kind of skipping over a little detail known as "THE HORUS HERESY".
