History

Spoiler!
This page contains spoilers for: Assassinorum: Execution Force (Novel)

Drask earned a notorious reputation for himself, purging entire star systems. He became known as cunning and cruel beyond the extreme, and this coupled with his formidable psychic Pyromancer abilities made him a force to be reckoned with. His ultimate goal however was always to achieve Daemonhood.[1]

Drask became the center of a desperate manhunt by the Imperium during the Thirteenth Black Crusade when the Primaris Psyker Lunst Cataboldine discovered his plans to commit the Achyllan Atrocity, which could put Terra itself under threat from Abaddon the Despoiler. An Officio Assassinorum execution force was dispatched by the High Lords of Terra to find and eliminate Drask.[1]

Ultimately, the Execution Force, known as Operation Deathblow, was successful in finding Drask on Achyllan Primaris. In a vicious battle, Drask was badly wounded and killed when the Eversor Assassin Sylas Torq detonated. Tzeentch lost his faith in Drask and withdrew his support, which resulted in the entire Temple of Shades collapsing with him.[2]
