Unlike other champions of Chaos, he does not serve one god alone but wields the power of all. He is a visionary and a conqueror, not a mere brute seeking bloodshed for its own sake. His Black Crusades have shattered Imperial worlds, brought entire sectors to ruin, and even laid siege to Cadia itself, leading to its ultimate des
