Doombreed is a mighty Daemon Prince of Khorne, responsible for leading the Black Crusade that bears his name against the Imperium. He is said by some to be older and more powerful than even the mighty Daemon Primarchs, and it is said that his cloak is made from the skulls of a thousand Space Marines.[1][3]
History
Doombreed was one of the first of Khorne's servants. His true name has long been forgotten, but he was once human, a mighty warlord who led armies which ravaged entire nations on Terra long ago, responsible for genocide and murder on a grand scale. Such wanton carnage drew the eye of the god Khorne, still relatively young, who granted the warlord the ultimate reward of Daemonhood.[1][4] Doombreed was present on Horus's Battle Barge during the Horus Heresy, when the Emperor and Horus fought.[1] After the Heresy, Doombreed agreed to an alliance with Abaddon the Despoiler.[3] Millennia later he declared war on the Adeptus Astartes and launched his Black Crusade. During this Crusade two loyal Space Marine Chapters—the Warhawks and the Venerators—were wiped out.[2]
In combat, Doombreed wields an Axe of Khorne, wears a Collar of Khorne, and carries a massive staff of twisted bone bearing the icon of the blood god.[4]
