Jump to: navigation, search

Emmesh-Aiye was a powerful Noise Marine and warlord of the Emperor's Children. Emmesh-Aiye may not have been a veteran of the Long War or an original member of the Legio Astartes, not having been able to recall his origin. Nonetheless, he is a notorious raider and "Architect of degeneracy". Emmesh-Aiye continually subjected himself to nerve toxins and high-pitched noises in order to get some kind of stimulation for his heightened senses. He kept a retinue of mutilated and terrified slaves, which he had broken into translators and playthings. Like many within the Emperor's Children, Emmesh-Aiye had gone on to modify and mutilate his appearance, including impaling his long tongue to his breastplate.[1]

Emmesh-Aiye was among those invited by Chengrel of the Iron Warriors to win Eldar Spirit Stones by recounting the elderly warlord a tale of destruction and a substantial bid. Emmesh-Aiye recounted his battle against Death Guard forces under Typhus for control of the spoils on an Imperial Shrine World. Emmesh-Aiye battled Typhus personally, surviving the encounter thanks to his Slaanesh-enhanced agility and reactions. After hearing their tales, Chengrel grew irate and unimpressed with his guests, especially after discovering none of them (with the possibly exception of Emmesh-Aiye) were original Chaos Space Marines; yet Chengrel held a particular contempt directed towards Emmesh-Aiye for fighting against his fellow Chaos Space Marines rather than the Imperium, especially against a luminary such as Typhus. When challenged on his own accomplishments, Chengrel flew into a rage and attacked his guests, and Emmesh-Aiye joined the ensuing free-for-all for control of the Spirit Stones. After beating Hodir of the Night Lords in melee for possession of the stones, Emmesh-Aiye was confronted by Khrove of the Thousand Sons. The Sorcerer used his psychic abilities to turn the ground Emmesh-Aiye and his slaves stood on into a pit of quicksand-like sludge, and seized the stones. Trapped, Emmesh-Aiye and his slaves sunk into the hole and died, making Emmesh-Aiye the only leader in the conflict to be confirmed dead. His minions then quickly left the battle, escaped or dematerializing back into the Warp.[1]
