Cbox Name: Bisenti
Nicknames: DNA
Main Account: Kharn the Betrayer
Name: Eliphas
Alias: The Inheritor
Age: Incalculable
Ranking: Villain
Physical Appearance:
Personality: Existent eternally in an aura of dark charisma, not even death has stayed his sliver tongue. As a man of extreme faith in the Chaos Gods, he acts as a missionary for them in all forms, embodying the so called 'virtues' of Chaos to a T. The Ruthlessness of Tzeench, The Loyalty of Nurgle, The Sophistication of Slannesh and the Wraithful Soul of Khorne.
Powers/Abilities:
Mind Games: As a Chaos Psyker, Eliphas is most proficent in the skill of telepathy, able to communicate of enormous distances with his troops, other troops...or more commonly, the commander of the enemy army. This, coupled with his natural oratory skills, make him a master of morale, emasculating the commander of the enemy while showering his own soldiers with praise from the dark gods.
Psyker: Eliphas is capable of opening up Warp Gates with appropriate time, resources, and possibly sacrifices. He also has the ability to sense paranormal activity due to his connection with the warp, and resist any dominating or mind control due to his close affinities with it.
Equipment:
The Helmet of Lorgar: This unholy contraption imbunes Eliphas with ruinous resolve, and does the same to those under his command. The resolve of Lorgar passes onto the wearing, making Eliphas far more durable and enhancing his sight and hearing.
Psychological Flaws: Completely allied with the Ruinous Powers and is also rather alien in this world.
Physical Flaws: Not nearly as capable as Kharn in battle...while he can still easily hold his own aganist most people, if one were to destroy the duo, it's best done when Eliphas is in control.
Brief History: Eliphas was first present on the world of Kronus during the events of the Horus Heresy, where he participated in a battle against the Ultramarines as a young Sergeant of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion. He presumably retreated to the Eye of Terror along with the rest of the Word Bearers when Horus was defeated. Later, during the opening phases of the Dark Crusade for control of that world in the 41st Millennium, Eliphas and the Word Bearers were summoned back to Kronus by a Chaos Cult at the Third Temple of Black Succession in the tropical south of Kronus' Deimos Peninsula. This cabal had turned to Chaos to save them from the red harvest of the Necrons who had recently been reawakened on Kronus, and Eliphas had answered their plea to the Dark Gods. Using the knowledge gained from the Epistles of Lorgar, the cultists' leader Virgilius had planned to bring Eliphas to Kronus. On the eighth night of their visit to the Temple, Virgilius led them to the great chamber at the temple's heart, where he and eight of his cultists were sacrificed atop the eight-pointed Star of Chaos. The Warp opened between the points of the eight-pointed star and Eliphas stepped forth, heralding the beginning of the Ninth Inheritance. Eliphas came to Kronus to turn the planet into a Daemon World and gain enough favour from the Ruinous Powers to become a Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided. Eliphas would lead his Word Bearers warband against the other six factions all vying for supremacy on the planet. He began his conquest at the Demon Gate situated in the Deimos Peninsula on the tropical southern coast of Kronus. He was armed with an Accursed Crozius and over the course of the conflict, gained new equipment to enhance his powers, such as Daemonic Armour and the same helm worn by the Word Bearers Primarch Lorgar 10,000 years previously during the Horus Heresy. Of all the factions on Kronus, save for the Blood Ravens of the Adeptus Astartes, Eliphas despised the Necrons the most as they had no souls left to be devoured by Chaos.
Unfortunately for Eliphas, the Blood Ravens ultimately proved victorious in the Dark Crusade and succeeded in cleansing Kronus of the taint of Chaos, xenos and Necrons alike. The Word Bearers' forward base in the Deimos Peninsula was eventually conquered by the Blood Ravens. Eliphas was last seen conversing with an unnamed Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided inside a rapidly collapsing Warp Gate and attempting to explain his failure to seize the world. The Daemon Prince declared that Eliphas is past redemption and refused to send him to the Basilica of Torments again, opting to destroy him outright instead, claiming that "It is a poor shepherd that blames his flock, Apostle. This failure is yours and yours alone." Eliphas attacked the Daemon Prince, but was lifted into the air by the Prince's power, and exploded in a huge gush of blood. However, the souls of the Damned belong to the Chaos Gods alone and what they unmake can be made whole once more.
Seeing Eliphas' potential use against the Blood Ravens, the Chaos Gods resurrected Eliphas and placed him in the service of the Chaos Warmaster Abaddon the Despoiler and his Black Legion Traitor Marines. Eliphas became a Chaos Champion for the Black Legion against the Blood Ravens in sub-sector Aurelia. He lead a Black Legion warband of Chaos Space Marines together with the Chaos Lord Araghast the Pillager – whom Eliphas later deserted, causing Araghast's death and leaving Eliphas to be the sole commander of the warband. The Black Legion warband was tasked by Abaddon with freeing Ulkair the Unclean One, a Great Unclean One Greater Daemon of Nurgle, from his captivity and unleashing the daemon on the Aurelian sub-sector to plague the Blood Ravens. Eliphas was later killed by the Blood Ravens Force Commander for the Aurelia sub-sector, however he is resurrected once more despite his failure by Abaddon, the Warmaster of Chaos, who believes the former Dark Apostle will still prove to be of some use to him and the Black Legion. Abaddon then sent him forth on what would be his last chance to prove his worth, and the most important battle of his life- the conquest of Earth, millenniums ago. Stripped of his body in the same fashion as Lucius the Eternal, The Prince of Excess himself, the Dark God Slannesh had placed his soul inside the body of Kharn the Betrayer, hoping to combine the tactical genius of Eliphas with the pure hatred and carnage embodiment of the Avatar of Khorne.
