Barkahran

Chaos Portal Nurgle

Chaos Portal Death Guard

Barkahran is a Sorcerer in the Children of Blain Warband and was responsible for converting them into the service of Nurgle, when they were known as the Steel Cobras Chapter.^[1]

This occurred after the heretical Chapter fled to Tukaroe VII to hide from the Imperium's wrath and became trapped by a Chaos tainted storm. They had become deathly sick from diseases, when Barkahran later appeared before them, with an offer to help them. He then made a pact with the Steel Cobras' Chapter Master, Akhasis Blain, that he would save the Chapter if they dedicated themselves to Nurgle. They agreed and became the Children of Blain, which Barkahran has now joined.^[1]
