Editing Haarken Worldclaimer (section)

==Overview==
Called the "Herald of the Apocalypse" and "Proclamator of Abaddon's Reign", Haarken commands a vanguard of the [[Black Legion]] known as the Raptor hosts. When [[Abaddon]] plans to invade a world, Haarken is sent ahead to announce the arrival of the Warmaster and spread fear and panic among the population and military personnel as a planet crippled by terror, is easier to conquer. And while it may seem counter intuitive to announce to a planet that a massive army is coming to invade it, an army that makes it's presence known long before it attacks can create a sense of doubt in the defenders or out right cause mass panic in the right circumstances. 

Haarken continues to launch attacks and terror raids, even after Abaddon arrives helping drive home a sense of fear in the defenders and also because he gets the jollies from it. A scholar and collector of occult artifacts, he has read the '''Grimoire Nostromo''' of [[Konrad Curze]], the '''Book of [[Magnus the Red|Magnus]]''', and the '''Clotted Scrolls''' of [[Angron]] ([[what|that maniac actually wrote something?!]]), which means while he's nuttier than a fruitcake on Sanguinala, he is also well versed in terror tactics and how to abuse the warp in his favour.

It is not known if Haarken was part of the [[Night Lords]], but it's likely as many of the 8th Legion have joined or sworn loyalty to the Black Legion over the millennia, and Haarken uses fear in battle as much as they do as well as taking pleasure in making people piss themselves in fear, with him broadcasting terrifying messages and sounds through his own custom vox array. In battle, he strikes at supply chains and defensive positions surrounded by dozens of [[Chaos Raptors]] while he wields the legendary '''Helspear'''.
