==Overview==
Haarken commanders Worldclaimer serves as the mouthpiece for Abaddon, a task he takes heinous joy in. It is he who proclaims the death of worlds, often by driving his spear into the planets surface. Commanding a large [[Chaos Raptor]] contingent within the Black Legion , Haarken's forces serve to sow discord and terror in preparation for the arrival of the main fleet. Upon the arrival of his Lord's forces, Haarken targets enemy command and supply centers. He will butcher a planet's populace to break its will, easier allowing its conquest by Abaddon.{{Fn|5}} Despite his battlefield role, Haarken is also known as a scholar and collector of the occultOccult. He has studied the [[Grimoire Nostromo]] of [[Konrad Curze]], the [[Book of Magnus]], and the [[Clotted Scrolls]] of [[Angron]], and even the [[Book of Magnus]] at the cost of his sanity. Haarken is known to utilize fear in battle much as the [[Night Lords]] do, broadcasting terrifying messages and sounds across his own [[Vox]] array. The effect of this is devastating and has been said to drive men to suicide.{{Fn|3}} In combat, Haarken wields the legendary [[Helspear]].{{Fn|2}}

[[Warp Talon]], and [[Heldrake]] cohorts. Ultimately however he was foiled by [[Marneus Calgar]], who burnt down and toppled the spires to prevent their use by Chaos forces.{{Fn|4}}
