A Familiar is a lower daemon, used by Chaos Sorcerers.
Such malefic beings live in great numbers within the warp, and readily lend their power to any mortal foolish enough to call upon them. To subdue such a creature is a matter of the greatest complexity and only a powerful Sorcerer can bend such an entity to his will. The practice of harnessing the familiars - known as tutelaries - was a secret of the Thousand Sons even before the Horus Heresy. A bound familiar augments the power and ability of the Sorcerer, imbuing him with the raw psychic might of the warp itself.[1]
Notable Familiars
- Aaetpio - Tutelary of Ahzek Ahriman.[2]
- Hamadrya - A unique familiar used by Lugft Huron.
