Editing Nobledark Imperium Forces of Chaos (section)

=== Be'lakor ===

EDITOR'S NOTE: Needs expansion

''"The eight-pointed star. You have no idea how much I hate what that symbol has become. Once it actually meant something. To my people, it represented the symbolic representation of one of the fundamental truths of the universe. The idea that from nothing, came everything. My people found beauty in it, covered their architecture with it, [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#Blackstone_Fortresses|built starships in its shape]]. It was by this ethos that we lived our lives. Even though I’m far from the sentimental sort, I must admit I preferred that interpretation over what has become. A symbol for [[Nobledark_Imperium_Forces_of_Chaos#The_Crone_World_Eldar|unruly, undisciplined children]] and [[Chaos Gods|broken constructs]] to define themselves by.''

''I suppose by your standards the best way of putting it would be as if a universal statement of purpose and philosophy had been turned into a gang sign. There’s nothing I hated more than what I had to brand myself with that sigil in a twisted way of paying fealty to those who now dominate the Warp. I’m sure the very least to the Changer of Ways knows the original meaning behind the symbol, and is probably laughing himself silly over the irony."''<br>
-- Be’lakor, in a rare open musing to one of the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Chaos_Guard|Lost and the Damned]]

The last of the Old Ones. The result of early Old One experimentation into the apotheosis of physical beings in the Warp, he is incensed that he "merely" reached daemon princedom, making him subservient to the Chaos Gods, who he sees as experimental artificial constructs akin to A.I. that have gone far beyond their station. Be'lakor serves the Chaos Gods, but he is not loyal to them, and has his own goals in mind. Be'lakor is old, one of the oldest beings in the galaxy, older than even the Chaos Gods. He remembers when Earth was inhabited by beings like him, and the forefathers of mankind were little more than rats that scurried beneath their toes. He remembers the Eldar before they were uplifted, and their pitched battles against the original [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#The_Mon-Keigh|Mon-Keigh]]. A great many mysteries of the galaxy could be solved if Be'lakor shared his wisdom. However, he does not, because he is [[That_Guy|cruel and capricious]], and because his knowledge of things everyone else has forgotten is his greatest asset. Indeed, the fact that Be'lakor even exists was [[Nobledark_Imperium_Drafts#Be.27lakor_and_the_Alpha_Legion|only discovered by the Imperium after much blood, sweat, and tears]]. Be’lakor’s followers almost universally worship Chaos Undivided or come from the Chaos Wastes. Although his followers tend to be fewer in number, they tend to make up for it by being more stable.
