Vorash Soulflayer
Vorash Soulflayer, Master of Possession, is a member of the Black Legion, who commanded the flesh-factory known as the Forge Infernus on the asteroid girdle Nemendghast.[1]
His work was finally discovered by an Ultramarines strike force as the War of Beasts raged on nearby Vigilus. Though the strike force was heavily outnumbered by Soulflayer's Daemonkin warriors, the Ultramarines managed to cripple the Forge Infernus. However, only the Librarian Maltis was able to escape and warn Chapter Master Calgar of the threat lurking at the edge of the Vigilus System.[1]
At some point of the conquering of Nemendghast, Vorash Soulflayer managed to get his hands on two Freeblade Knights - those who after bitter and long Chaos rituals were broken and become a Chaos Knights named Hand of Mourning and Bale Star. As their new master, Vorash gave each of them an important order: Hand of Mourning was to find and bring to him an ancient Daemon Prince, whose name was known to the Master and therefore he was eager to get this demon for himself; and Bale Star was tasked with bringing in chains the famous Barroness of Tanika, who was reputed to be one of the best duelists in the galaxy, and whom Vorash also wanted to break in order to turn her and her war machine into his another Chaos Knight.[2]
