For his part, Ahriman refuses to acknowledge Chaos as his master. Across the ensuing millennia he has become a scourge, raiding ancient museums, librarium, scholaria and reclusia, places of learning, religion and contemplative thought. He seeks to acquire artifacts, data, or even persons he believes can lead him to mastery over the way of the sorcerer. He fosters cults on dozens of worlds at a time, providing cult magi with sorcerous power until such time as they have acquired some antiquarian trinket or satisfied another of Ahriman demands before turning the wrath of his warband upon them. It is rumoured that Ahriman has of late turned his relentless predation upon the [[Eldar]], determined in his belief that the lost knowledge he seeks can be found in that darkest of halls of enlightenment, the vast repository of arcana referred to in whispers as the [[Black Library of Chaos]].
== Current whereabouts ==
== Ahriman's Current dealings ==
During [[Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade]] [[Ahriman]] was able to gain access to the [[Webway]] using the captured [[Inquisitor Czevak]] and a long forgotten webway portal on [[Etanium III]]. It is rumored that if he obtains the [[Black Library]], he could use the information inside to become a new and powerful Chaos God.
Despite summoning '[[Leviathan]]', a giant flying [[warp beast]] more massive than any battleship and wreathed in flame, and [[Ahriman]] bringing horrendous casualties on both sides of the conflict; [[Ahriman]] was ejected from the [[Webway]] his goal unattained, [[Inquistor Czevak]] captured by harlequins and believed held in the webway, the [[webway Gate]] he used was sealed, never to be opened again. The final results of the Campaign state that his 'star is on the rise' with [[Magnus]] once again, mostly due to the great chaos caused by his battles in the [[Webway]], prowness in capturing [[Inquistor Czevak]], and ability to come close to entering the [[Black Library]].
Ahirman himself believes to this day that Chaos can be controlled and used with Cabalist strength and a powerful mind. While often portrayed as the 'Hero' of Tzeentch, he instead believes he is searching out his own goals, despite being just a pawn. He does not openly recognize Tzeentch as his Master though quite easily manipulated by Tzeentch to the Chaos Entities own means.
Quote: "And what are the achievements of your fragile Imperium? It is a corpse rotting slowly from within while maggots writhe in its belly. It was built with the toil of heroes and giants, and now it is inhabited by frightened weaklings to whom the glories of those times are half-forgotten legends. I have forgotten nothing, and my wisdom has expanded far beyond mere mortal frailties."
-Ahirman of the Thousand Sons.
