Kanathara
Kanathara, Whose Hooves Shatter Mountains and Whose Voice Lulls the Sun, is a Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets.[1a]
He is considered a prince among Slaanesh's court and is held in the same high esteem as N'Kari and Shalaxi Helbane; though not as beloved as they are. Sometime after the Horus Heresy, Kanathara encountered Fabius Bile above Sublime[1b] and was insulted by the mortal. While Bile manged to escape the Keeper's wrath, Kanathara vowed they would meet again and this finally occurred during the Battle of Belial IV. As Bile's forces fought the invading Coven of the Thirteen Scars, Kanathara was among a horde of Slaanesh Daemons that Bile's ally, Saqqara unleashed upon the Coven. Though the Daemons fought against the Haemonculi, as their Chaos God had demanded, they were too numerous for the Diabolist Saqqara to control and Kanathara was able to begin hunting for Bile. The Keeper eventually found his target and gleefully told the mortal he had come to take his vengeance. Kanathara then stabbed Bile with his sword, but once again the mortal managed to escape from the Keeper[1a]. This time, though, Bile had been grievously wounded by Kanathara and collapsed near death, not far from the Keeper. But before Kanathara could deliver the death blow, Bile's daughter Melusine intervened and kept the Keeper at bay long enough for Saqqara to appear. Before Kanathara could stop him, the Diabolist was able to seal the Keeper within one of his flasks that he kept captured Daemons in. However, Saqqara deemed Kanathara to be tooo dangerous to keep and tossed the flask into a group of nearby flowers. As Saqqara and Melusiine left with Bile, the Diabolist said Kanathara could use his time in the flask, to learn the skill of patience.[1b]
