Haxul

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Haxul was a Black Legion Warpsmith whose forces successfully invaded the Imperium-held Nemendghast asteroid girdle and he later constructed the Daemonic Forge Infernus there.[1]

As Abaddon had ordered him to, Haxul began preparations to create Daemon Engines within the Forge, but he was unaware that others within the Black Legion sought to seize control of it from him. Soon Haxul's Black Legion forces were slain and his slaves ran amok within the Forge, but worse still the boundless Daemonic essence he had helped bring into Realspace turned upon him as well. A Venomcrawler suddenly sprang forth from its depths and gravely wounded Haxul gouging holes in his chest and severing his left arm, as it bore him to the ground. Before it could kill him though, a Master of Possession appeared and told it to desist. At his words Haxul's slaves and the Daemonic essence were calmed, but the Warpsmith cursed the Master of Possession as a traitor to the Black Legion, who would meet his end once Abaddon discovered what he had done. The Master of Possession replied though, that the fires of the Forge Infernus would burn even fiercer under his control, as Haxul's ignorant faith in metal instead of the Warp had made the Warpsmith wasteful of the Forge's resources. He then claimed that Haxul would still serve the Black Legion and used his sorcery to allow a Daemon to possess the Warpsmith. Haxul tried to fight against the Daemon, but he was easily overwhelmed and the Warpsmith's soul was devoured, as the Daemon took complete control of his body.[1]
