Cor’bax Utterblight

Cor’bax Utterblight is a Daemon Prince of Nurgle. He is known as the hope in people's hearts, subverting their faith in order to bring about despair.[2b]

Called forth during the Horus Heresy by the dark rites of the traitorous Word Bearers Legion, the Ruinstorm unleashed a vast horde of the malevolent denizens of the Warp upon the Imperium. Most deadly amongst them were those that came to be known as the Daemon Princes of the Ruinstorm, and counted amongst their number was the vile, pestilent and ever-hungry Cor’bax Utterblight.

Those who have witnessed this loathsome disciple of Nurgle in action tell of a tidal wave of rot and disease which spills before Cor’bax as he enters the battlefield. Life corrupts at his touch, and any mortals unfortunate enough to survive are snapped up whole within his gaping maw to slowly perish and fuel the gifts of Nurgle Cor’bax will generously bestow upon the next world he attacks.[1]

During the Siege of Terra Utterblight was summoned by Typhus and Zardu Layak in order to subvert the proto-Imperial Cult within the Imperial Palace.[2b] He was later summoned inside the Sanctum Imperialis due to the ignorance of Euphrati Keeler's followers, only defeated thanks to the efforts of the Custodes Amon Tauromachian.[2a]

Quotes

"...The Utterblight does not need to take form to begin its work. The Life Within Death. The Breath on Your Lips. It is The Spirit of Hope, seeded in the hearts of all humans."

- Zardu Layak, The Crimson Apostle. [2b]
