Maless Darkblade
Maless Darkblade is a Drukhari Reaver in the Kabal of the Dark Blade, who is possessed by a powerful Daemon.[1]
History
This occurred as the Kabal was raiding the notorious Chaos city Skurminal, which the Crucibles whispered held a great treasure. Maless led a group of her fellow Reavers in the raid, which she commanded from her noble Jetbike steed Spite, which she talked to. However when the Kabal's Archon later ordered the Kabal to withdraw from Skurminal, Maless refused to leave the city until she found the treasure. Maless was then drawn towards a building she felt reeked of power and one of her Reavers found an engraving within in it, next to two giant sealed doors.[1]
The engraving read, "Step forward into the Vaults of Wishes and become as a God" and the Reaver reading it said he liked the sound of that. When he asked what Maless thought though, she immediately killed him and the other Reavers, while declaring that if anyone became a god, it would be her. After her former companions were dead, Maless entered the Vaults of Wishes whose doors had opened and were emitting a bright light. However once she entered the Vaults, the light immediately engulfed her in pain. As she screamed, a Daemon began speaking into her head and told Maless that it had just possessed her. After being imprisoned for eons, Maless had freed it and the Daemon would now pour its power into her, so the Reaver could act as its vessel of vengeance. With Maless under its control, the Daemon promised it would now commit cruelties that had been undreamed of.[1]
However, after the Daemon had finished speaking, Maless simply replied that she was looking forward to the mayhem it would unleash. This surprised the Daemon, as none of its previous hosts had reacted so well to being possessed. Maless then remarked that the day had been full of surprises for both of them, as she mounted Spite and prepared to rejoin the Kabal of the Dark Blade's forces. The Daemon then attempted to regain control of the situation, but Maless told it to shut up, as she rode off into Skurminal's sky.[1]
