Following the Battle of Signus Prime, the indignation shown by Erebus, Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, is met with brutal retribution from the Warmaster Horus. After having his tattooed visage flayed from his scalp, Erebus seeks the power of the avatars of Chaos to restore his faith in the Dark Gods.
Whisper the name Erebus, for it is a curse and a beseechment to the dark gods. It is perhaps true that evil does not start out as such. Some tragedy, some error of judgement… Not so with Erebus. His evil has ever been ingrained. On Colchis, his story begins, the arch-heretic who turned his face from the Emperor to embrace the pantheon of Chaos.Child of Chaos n’absout pas Erebus.
