Paramyx

History

He was once the Chapter Master of the Sanctors of Terra[2], before they were deemed corrupted by the powerful Saint Basillius. The Sanctors and twenty-nine other Chapters were given the choice to take part in a Crusade within the Eye of Terror or to be destroyed. Choosing to redeem his Chapter, Paramyx led the Sanctors into the Eye, in what would become known as the Abyssal Crusade. There disaster would strike all the Chapters involved, with many becoming corrupted into the servants of Chaos. Paramyx and the Sanctors were no different and when they emerged from the Eye, they were reborn as the Blighted Claw Warband[1], having dedicated themselves to the Chaos God Nurgle.[2]

Paramyx now leads his Warband in spreading Nurgle's plagues across numerous Imperial worlds, and his allied with the forces of the Fallen Angel Skethon[3]. The Blighted Claws' rampage of infection, however, has made Paramyx a target of Kor'sarro Khan, the White Scar's Master of the Hunt. The Khan began a hunt for the Plague Lord, which has led him across half a Segmentum, but he vowed to claim the Paramyx's head no matter how long it took. Their forces last encountered each other on the Agri World Gehöft, which the Warband had infected with plagues. Even as the world rotted and the dead rose to fall upon the living, Kor'sarro Khan's Brotherood came to hunt down the Plague Lord. Among the other Imperial forces that came to Gehöft's aid were Dark Angels' Ravenwing and its Master, Sammael, agreed to aid the Khan in his hunt. While their Companies fought to defend the world, they each led a squadron to find Paramyx as the battle raged around them.[2]

They succeeded in finding the Plague Lord, but before the two reached him[2], the Ravenwing spotted Skethon's battle flag on a nearby war engine. This led Sammael to order his squadron to pursue the Fallen Angel's war engine, but without the Ravenwing's aid, the Khan's squadron was overrun. Only the Master of the Hunt was able to escape[3] and Paramyx evaded his grasp once again[2]. Skethon also evaded the Ravenwing[3] and both escaped, to continue their attacks on other worlds[2][3]. Their efforts had destroyed Gehöft, however, and the Imperium launched an Exterminatus upon it shortly afterwards.[2]
