Here is the tread of would-be gods and slain saints. Here is the mark of the darkness yet to come. Here creeps the crown of ancient slaughter yet unborn. Here is the fate of all. All writ amongst these cold stars.

Erasmus Haarlock is an Imperial Rogue Trader.[1]

The heir to the powerful Haarlock family on the world of Quaddis in the Calixis Sector, which helped found Imperial rule in the region, over the millennia the Haarlocks have acquired much forbidden technology and lore from Xenos they have battled. Erasmus lost his wife and daughter in the inter-familial wars that grip the Haarlocks, causing him to massacre the rest of the family and all of their associates. Haarlock then became obsessed with bringing back his dead family, attempting to utilize his family's forbidden lore to that end. Mysteriously, shortly before completing his ritual, he vanished.[1]
