Mollucos is an Exalted Herald of Nurgle and is currently the Chaos God's 300th favoured Daemon.[1]

Near the end of the Plague Wars, the Daemon Primarch Mortarion was readying an attack on Parmenio, where he sought to kill his brother Guilliman, but he needed more of Nurgle's forces to defeat the Lord Commander's army. With this in mind, Mollucos was tasked with forcing the rebellious Death Guard Lord Typhus to support Mortarion's plan, and the Herald made contact with Typhus from the Warp while the Chaos Lord's forces ravaged the orbital starfort of Odyssean. They were well known to each other, as when the Warp was weak Typhus had been able to summon and command Mollucos, but with the Great Rift's creation, the fabric between reality and the Warp was greatly weakened. Typhus knew this and was thus humble before Mollucos, as the Herald demanded Typhus lend his forces to aid Mortarion's plan. At first Typhus refused, as he thought Mortarion was a sentimental fool whose every action showed he was stuck reliving the past. Mollucos remarked that what Typhus said was true, but it was Nurgle's command that the Chaos Lord cease his rivalry with Mortarion and take part in the war for Parmenio. If he did this, then Typhus would have Nurgle's favour for seven years. When Typhus asked what would happen if he refused, Mollucos stated that the Chaos Lord would know Nurgle's displeasure for all of eternity. Seeing now that he had no choice, Typhus agreed to aid Mortarion, but he silently vowed that when he reached Daemonhood, he would give Mollucos a True Death for making him aid the Daemon Primarch.[1]
