Nokad
Nokad the Blighted (also known as Nokad the Smiling) was a Chaos Magister[Needs Citation] in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade in M41. He was well over two metres tall, and wore various loops rings, chains, and spikes on his body.[1]
One of Nokad's first acts was to use his forces to conquer the planet Bucephalon from within. He then had all the leaders of Bucephalon's capital city-state's thirty-two noble families crucified to walls, and hung their own heraldic banners there with them. Bucephalon's loss was a great tragedy, as it was considered one of the most honourable of the Sabbat Worlds, and was listed by Warmaster Slaydo in his great liberation address at the start of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade as one of the worlds he was most eager to save.[1]
Nokad eventually met his death at the hands of the sniper Hlaine Larkin of the Tanith First and Only Regiment, who shot him through the head as he was singing devotional hymns to his troops. With the Magister dead, the Chaos forces' morale crumbled, and the planet was reconquered by the Imperium.[1]
