Editing Tribulus Bercilak (section)

==Current situation==
As the undisputed leader of the Green Men, Bercilak is the mastermind behind countless incursions into the Imperial Space. Industrial and Forge Worlds remain his favourite targets. Instead of acting subtly, he prefers teaching cruel lessons to the people who murder their planet's nature. During the first phase of the invasion, his forces exterminate the planet's entire population with diabolical biological weapons causing madness before an excruciatingly painful death. The corpses left from this genocide are then collected by the Green Men, put into enormous vats and fermented with special bacteria that quickly turn them into compost. It is with this fertiliser made from people that they dress the barren soil of the conquered world, preparing it for the final act of this cruel play: the sowing. Seeds of the deadliest plants in the Galaxy are planted where a wasteland once was, gradually turning it into an uninhabitable toxic jungle.

Bercilak's appearance is as grotesque as that of most of the Green Men. His wet and sticky green skin is bulging with pulsating veins and throbbing sacs of poisonous juices, lichen and parasitic fungi grow all over it, and woodlice live in his ears and nostrils. Instead of hair, long and meaty leaves grow out of his face, constantly writhing like the tentacles of a squid washed ashore. His unique set of Power Armour is entirely carved from wood, but this is no ordinary wood: taken from a tree genetically engineered by the Warband's Genetors, it surpasses ceramite in its durability. The deformed ring patterns on its surface form leering demonic faces. His infamous Daemon Weapon, the Uprooter, resembles a big gnarly snag at the first sight, with only the profane runes carved into it that glow with sickly green light giving away its true nature. With each strike it leaves scores of splinters in the flesh or armour of its victim, which then start burrowing deeper into it with a will of their own, seeking to find and pierce vital organs.

It is unclear whether or not Bercilak is still in charge of the Green Men. During the famous Bithynian Campaign, captain Ansel Delecluse of the [[Void Angels]] managed to slay Bercilak in personal combat, thus finally avenging Antoine Antonelle. His head was then cut off and frozen in a block of ice in order to be brought to [[Ciban IV]] and presented to the Chapter Master. However, an unfortunate incident happened during the grisly trophy's journey to the homeland of Void Angels: when the ship carrying it was passing through the Warp, the head simply disappeared, the vault where it had been kept was covered in toxic foliage and its walls were torn by some incomprehensible power. Although Delecluse was disheartened to lose the proof of his victory, he was content to know that one of the Imperium's most persistent foes had finally been put to justice. 

But was that really the case? Five centuries later, Delecluse, now the Chapter Master of the Void Angels, took part in the cleansing of Hive World Pergamon seized by a Galenic cult. After slaying scores of insane cultists dressed in grass skirts and covered with green spiral tattoos, he stormed into the governor-general's former office. There, he found the cult's magus waiting for him. The heretic's last words troubled the Void Angel deeply, for he told him that Bercilak sends his regards and waits to return the favour.
