Be'lakor is the first Daemon Prince of Chaos.[2] A Daemon of Chaos Undivided, he beholds each of the Chaos Gods equally. Like a petulant first-born son, he is jealous of anyone that wins the favor of Chaos, and thus seeks to undermine them.[4]

History
Be'lakor was the first mortal elevated to Daemonhood by Chaos. However, much of his origins are hidden behind legend and rumour. Be'lakor himself does much to hide his true origin and history.[4] But nonetheless legends tell of Be’lakor ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, the Daemon Prince conquering a world and subjugating its people, forcing them to worship him as a god. When the race would fall into decline, ruined by Be’lakor’s greed and malevolence, the Daemon would move on, finding a new burgeoning race to be his playthings. Several times, the Daemon Prince is said to have been the lord of sector spanning empires, a dark, Daemon god ruling over a thousand worlds and billions of loyal followers.[4] Even the Grey Knights know very little of his history. What little information there is on him suggests that he has been ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, only to abandon them when they would fall into decline.[2]
Be'lakor has a bitter jealousy towards anyone who wins the favour of the Dark Gods. As such, he is known to undermine the plans of the servants of Chaos. However, what he believes to be his free-will, is just a part of the rivalry between the Chaos Gods themselves.[2]
Relics and the ruins of dead worlds still exist that suggest there may be some truth to these legends; whether their source was Be’lakor or not is more difficult to say. The Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Magos Kyber has spent his life piecing together the history of Be’lakor in his exploration of the galactic wilderness, hunting down ancient relics of the Dark Age of Technology. Following the faint trail left by Be’lakor’s passage through history, Magos Kyber has found winged statues carved from the fossilized bones of psykers, crumbling scrolls of human skin that show thousands of tiny figures bowing down before a dark winged shape and stygian horn-fragments sealed in sacred caskets. Unaware of Be’lakor’s true nature, Kyber has become convinced that all these objects are linked to one alien overlord, an ancient creature that has existed for millions of years in various guises and is behind countless vile deeds.[4]
Unknown to Kyber, he is being manipulated by Be’lakor. The Daemon Prince placed the first clues to his existence in Kyber’s path, leading the Magos to the ruins of a world he once ruled. From this seed of curiosity, Kyber has discovered new systems, planets and ruined empires long forgotten by Be’lakor. While the Daemon helps Kyber from the shadows, the Magos gathers up the hidden and forgotten legacy Be’lakor has left behind, ultimately returning to the Daemon Prince his lost objects of power, while also erasing his existence from history
Recent History

By the time of the Thirteenth Black Crusade, Be'lakor has worked his way into Abaddon's inner circle.[2]
