Editing Nagash (section)

==Why Nagash is so evil==
While most evil characters on the game have done their share of bad deeds, Scumbag Nagash has a special place amongst them thanks to sheer volume and scope from the very personal like domestic abuse and rape to various genocides and mass slaughters. Also, unlike most of the poor bastards that live in a Warhammer setting, he doesn't do these for survival, being tricked into it or to seek the favor of a more powerful being. He does it because he is a fucking prick. The following list illustrates how sick this fuck is:

* Started out learning magic through sacrificing people. Although it was due to Nehekhara's desert lacking much of the winds of magic and the people Nagash sacrificed were usually unwanted sons and daughters of nobles, who were despair ridden from gambling and drinking. Still, Nagash did not feel a pang of sympathy for them and was being taught by Dark Elves at the time, in the most sadistic evil way possible, by torturing the sacrificial victim with pain for hours or so before slitting their throat. Then again, it's not like he had a heart to begin with.
* In order to dethrone his brother, Nagash made his city suffer by unleashing his magic to afflict the nobles with a plague, secretly disrupted the market price and used his servants to spread lies that these were punishments from the gods. When Nagash took the throne, he got rid of the plague and made the market prices go back to normal [[Just as Planned|in a selfish publicity stunt]].
* Out Betrayed the [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elves]], whom were one of the most evil creatures in the setting (besides the Skaven) and were far superior than the humans at that time (in terms of military, magic and economy). In details, the three dark elves were figuring out how to escape the pyramid Nagash had them trapped in, using the various books and knowledge they extorted from Nagash, while Nagash had to learn magic from them as soon as possible before the [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elves]] made their escape. Not only did Nagash manage to master his own dark magic on a time crunch, he even caught up to the three dark elves at the pyramid exit, killing them in a heated magic duel. It was no easy task for Nagash at the time since the dark elves had withheld some of their arcane knowledge from Nagash, but Nagash still did it, the absolute mad man!
* During his first and last violent encounter with his brother Thutep, Nagash used his followers as meatshields, having them killed by Thutep's much superior bodyguard only to use their souls to power up his spell and cast on the guards in return. After all the bodyguards were dead, Nagash restrained his brother with magic, taunted him for his inability to move/use his Khopesh while sadistically watching his brother furiously trying to move his body, face red and tears flowing from his eyes. Note that this battle took place after Nagash had defeated his three [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elf]] mentors, which means he was exhausted in the aftermath and was still able to destroy his brother's forces, much respect.
* Entombed his own brother alive and stole his wife, Neferem. Right before the entombment, Nagash even told Thutep about him claiming Neferem just to watch his painful and tormented expression for extra sadism. A century after when his skull was dug up, it's jaw position suggests Thutep died a painful yet slow death while screaming in agony.
* Nagash has always hated his father's Vizier: Ghazid, a wise man well known for his two watchful blue eyes, which he continued to serve Thutep with the same remarkable ability. The fact Khetep prevented him from being entombed beside him made it all the for unfortunate for the poor old man. Nagash had spared Ghazid after Thutep's death just so he could get kicked around by his underlings. Years of torment from Nagash's cruelty combining with aging has turned the once wiseman into a childlike senile old man. Having witnessed Sukhet's death and kept alive by the elixir (just a reminder it is made out of human blood and dark magic by the way), he continued to suffer while accompanying the equally tormented Neferem as living corpses until both finally died in Mahrak.
* After taking the throne, Nagash married Neferem and was a cruel husband to her since she was but a trophy to be owned, a subject that does nothing but used to flaunt his massive ambitious ego at everyone. Her handmaidens fled in fear when he entered their room and at one point she got a look of stoic resignation and said "just get it over with", with it likely being sex. Her son '''Sukhet'''; who was also Nagash's nephew was poorly treated as well. He was to be kept locked in a dirty storage room under the palace with the former Vizier Ghazid, separated from his mother. Because on top of being a kinslayer, a usurper and an evil wizard, he was a domestic abuser and a rapist.
** At a court meeting with Lahmian King Lamasheptra (the brother of Neferem), Nagash shamelessly used Neferem and her son as hostages in order to demand more slaves (1,000 slaves per month!) for his ''literally'' goddamned pyramid in exchange for a short meeting with one of them at a time. Unfortunately for Nagash, his scheme failed when both of them came from the dark and met each other for the first time in 10 years in front of various great city ambassadors. Their meeting moved Lamasheptra and other guests, but not a cold motherfucker like Nagash, who then proceed to murdered Sukhet out of anger as well as to secure his throne from any potential heir and made an elixir out of him. After that, Nagash appeared before Neferem, making a mocking promise to never harm Sukhet and telling her, she is free to stay by his side or end her life with the aforementioned elixir in disguised as a poison. [[grimdark|Now lets recap. It's already fucked up that Neferem wishes to kill herself, but instead she humiliated herself into drinking her son, yet at the same time she was unknowingly turned into Nagash's immortal slave.]] That's some 400 IQ evil play right there Nagash.
*** Upon realized the of priests of Khemri and their covenant, his first servant Khefru and Neferem has started a coup against him, Nagash immediately use his pyramid's power to darken the entirely of Nehekhara and '''KILLED''' every priests that has touched its darkness. Doing so however greatly used up pyramid's power and it only killed thousands of priests that were not inside a room. Still, only a evil super villain like him could own a superweapon powered by dead soul and shadow-kill anyone in an area of a fucking continent.
*** To punish his first servant Khefru, Nagash had his soul bind to him so he could serve him for all eternity. Arkhan will soon suffer the same fate. Such is the fate of those who serves Nagash.
**** After survived the said coup, he revealed to Neferem the elixir she had drunk was in fact made from her son's blood, then turned the said wife into an agony-ridden walking corpse and kept her that way for centuries.
* Started a war which destroyed many of the Nehekharan cities and killed even more of the population.
* Brutally sacked the city of Zandri and destroy the Zandri army lead by its king with his own dark magic. While slavery and raiding weren't uncommon in any Nehekharan military campaign, Nagash made it extra evil with the introduction of his elixir, made from the blood of innocents captured from Zandri, which is then drunk by Nagash and his servants to power them up. Note that Nagash created its elixir based on the concept where Nehekharan warlord would drink the blood of a sacrifice before battle (a sacrificial cow blessed by Geheb just before the battle, '''not''' human slaves). Nagash won by using his magic to mentally tormenting Zandari's Norscan slave soldiers into rebellion. Oh and despite Zandri's king being responsible for the death of Nagash's father Khetep, Nagash didn't destroy them to avenge his dad, but for his own ego and greed. After the battle, the Zandari army was not only forced to surrender without any negotiation, the surviving soldiers were then forced into slavery and its king was stripped of any valuables like crowns and clothing. The king was forced to return to his sacked city wearing only ragged clothing while riding a flea ridden donkey.
** Apparently, the tomb of Zandri contained ancient blue prints of many terrible engines of war, and Nagash sent an engineer to study its knowledge. As a reward for learning all this knowledge, Nagash had the engineer's tongue cut so he couldn't share it with anyone.
* His reign was responsible for the deaths of at least tens of thousands of people, and he even cancelled out his excuse of wanting the throne because he considered Thutep an ineffective king, since Nagash nearly destroyed Nehekhara's economy to build his Black Pyramid. He is so dissatisfied with the amount of time that is required to build his pyramid (at least 200 to 250 years according to his calculation) that he forbade any other constructions in Khemri until his Pyramid was complete. To further speed up the progress, he forced prisoners and even regular non-slave civilians into building the damned thing, alongside the aforementioned Zandri POWs as well as barbarian slaves from the north, all while they were suffering from disease and famine (priests wouldn't help curing the disease because they were mad at Nagash for holding Neferem hostage as well as defying the ancient treaty). Nagash, being an edgy evil tyrant, specifically ordered the dead workers' bodies to be used as foundation for the pyramid or to have their bones used as carving tools. The details of how the workers were to these things was not important to him, as long as their death offered something to the pyramid's construction. The construction killed so many people that all their souls combined generated enough energies to be stored in the pyramid and used by Nagash for his various horrifying spells.
* When Nagash was confronted with news about citizens in Khemri dissatisfied with their lot and protesting, his solution to restore the order was to send his immortal generals and a handful of soldiers to [[Vlad von Carstein|kill every man, woman and children they'd find in that quarter of the city, then impale their corpse on a spike to serve as a reminder to the rest of the public masses]]. It was so cruel that ''Arkhan the Black'', of all people (do remember Arkhan used to be a lowlife scum who'd seen some shit), called out his master's method of 'restoring order' counterproductive to the construction of the Black Pyramid. Unironically, Arkhan was completely right since the high mortality rate in the construction had the labor pool shrink at an unsustainable pace.
** When the pyramid's architect (old and mortal, unlike Nagash and his immortals) informed his master about the pyramid's completion, Nagash was so overjoyed to test out his pimped out doomsday device that he slit the architect's throat like a cold gangster motherfucker. Then the poor architect's blood was feasted upon by the immortal officers, just to point that out. 
* Captured the spirits of his enemies and kept them in eternal torment. Just because he felt like it.
* When Bhagar opposed the rule of Nagash from Khemri, Arkhan the Black lead a punitive expedition that enslaved most of the Bhagarites and killed/drove to extinction all of their prized god given horse herds (Arkhan made it extra evil by having the horses slaughtered in front of the Bhagarites). The slaves were then used to build the black tower of Arkhan and sacrificed on an altar, having their souls sent back to Nagash's pyramid to fuel it. The Bhagarites' loss had to do with their leader Shahid ben Alcazzar surrendering, and doing so he broke the ancient oath his people had made to [[Settra the Imperishable|Settra]]. '''Khsar''', the god of desert, took no pity on them for that betrayal, dried up their wells and erased their safe routes through the desert, forcing the Bhagarites to live like a nomadic tribe for the rest of their days. As if it wasn't already bad enough the Khemrian gods did not straight up smite down Nagash, they even did backstab their own people. Guess Nagash wasn't wrong about the gods being [[Eldrad|dicks]], [[Star Wars|from a certain point of view.]]
* Using the death energies from the aforementioned massacre, Nagash called upon rain of blood on the city of Quatar. The rain unleashed a plague that droves both livestock and men mad, forcing them to tear each other to shreds and then die of fever. Everyone that wasn't hiding inside the magic proof white palace of Quatar died within a week.
* When [[Arkhan the Black]] failed to take down the priest king of Rastraen, '''Rakh-Amn-Hotep''' (also [[Alcadizzar]]'s grandfather) in Quatar, Nagash harshly punished Arkhan by commanding a swarm of tomb beetles to chew on Arkhan's already rotten skin. Since Arkhan had achieved immortality through Nagash's elixir, he was unable to be freed from his punishment through death and had to endure it for hours and hours on end, squirming on the floor in his own rotten meat fluid while [[Ripper|many tiny mouths bit him]]. And whenever Arkhan tried to scream the beetles immediately swarmed into his mouth, choking him and tearing out his throat from inside out. To the remainder of Nagash's immortal champions that were forced to observe, it was a cruel reminder of their fate if they ever failed and that not even immortality could save them from such torments. The still-living vassal kings of Nagash that were present the gruesome spectacle fainted and afterwards hopelessly consumed lot of wine and black lotus in an attempt to dull the horror of what they were forced to witness (which still doesn't help them).
* Tainted a god-given spring just to deny his enemy from replenishment. To put emphasis on how sick Nagash could be, the observer at that time kings Hekhmenukep and Rakh-amn-hotep were on their sky boat, where they overlooked Nagash's work and trembled in disgust. The Spring used to be a beautiful greenish oasis with many pools of silvery water, until Nagash's underlings defiled them by filling them with corpses and blood. Aside from its new grotesque scenery, it reeked of dry dead air that stung the eye and now housed a swarm of a blackened pool of cannibalistic insects that could reach even the kings' sky boat. Both of them were so sickened and afraid (for the first time in their life even, as Rakh-amn-hotep was described as a stalwart and fearless warrior) of such a thing, they truly dreaded monsters like Nagash and his men who were capable of such debasement.
* Nagash broke the covenant between the Nehekharan gods and their people by finally killing Neferem (who is the daughter of Ptra from the bloodline that formed the pact between the gods and Nehekharans), not only removing the divine powers of the Nehekharans but ensuring that after death they wouldn't be able to go to their gods and would have to stay in a nether dimension forever. Especially jarring if you remember that he used to be the High Priest of their Death Cult. In all honesty, Nagash hadn't thought of killing her until he was trying to breach the gate of Mahrak, the city of hope that is built with magical defenses made by the priests themselves (from magic force field, high temperature death field and LIVING SPHINX GUARDIAN). After her death, all the priests lost their power and every Ushabti (just god blessed elite troops, not even constructs at that time) lost their strength and went mad.
* Everything Nagash had done above has effectively ended Nehekharan's golden age. Many Great Cites were either unable to recover like Bhagar (most of its population enslaved then sacrificed. The rest turned into banditry, living in the life style of clannish nomads) or left in ruins like Khemri (which was ruled by Nagash himself and had suffered total loss of life due to the said bastard's need for his pyramid and human sacrifice for his dark magic). The most important thing Nagash took away has to be Neheharan's pact with their god, which robbed them of god blessed power ranger, magic and other important relics. The Great Cities were stuck in an hiatus of recovery for 540 years (mostly due to Neferata manipulating the Great Cities into warring among themselves) until [[Alcadizzar]] took down the said bitchy vampire and took the throne of Khemri (fixing Nehekhara's economy took him 37 years). Did I mentioned all these tragedies happened because Nagash was salty at the gods for not letting him rule?
* Indirectly corrupted some of the nobility of Nehekhara, who became the first vampires. This is partly thanks to Lamashizzar's greed for Nagash's knowledge that instead of destroying them, he bought one of the tome as well as Arkhan as a hostage to his city, beginning a series of event that led to Neferata becoming the first vampire and doomed Lahmia as well as the rest of Nehekhara.
** Letting the Vampires spread their corruptions by turning others into vampires. Nagash only sees humans as cattle while treating his vampire servants like pawns. To him, the only thing worth about the vampire is their ability to produce other vampires as well as creating other undead (because more undead things = more power for Nagash!). One of the primary reason to keep them around despite their constant treachery.
* After he reached the mountain that contains the warpstone mine, he discovered a tribe living nearby. Upon making first contact with the first four villagers he encountered, [[murderhobo|instead of trying to making any communication with them, he decided to just kill and dissect them in order to learn about their biology like some fucking monster (which he already is in appearance due to the inhuman side effect from the life elixir, warpstone and the wounds he received from the war)]].
* During his time in the waste, he created a technique that allows him to rip and eat the memory of a person's soul in order to absorb their knowledge. His victims at that time were mostly barbarians and Nagash, being the typical Nehekharan tyrant, viewed them as inferior beings and callously discarded most of their memories as garbage, effectively erasing the individuality of their souls.
* Turned a whole tribe of his followers into ghouls because they annoyed him several times by asking him to give them a promised reward. In truth, Nagash was helping the tribe after he posed as their god to fight against their northern chaos worshiping tribe. Before the battle, Nagash promised them a secret that would make them stronger than that tribe. What he intended to reveal was just simple smithing technology the Nehekharans used as well as a couple useful fighting techniques to behave like an army instead of a mob. However, they proved [[that guy|so hopelessly incompetent]] (for these assholes alerted the enemies with their war cries while fucking off the entire time or wasted time looting the enemies' belonging instead of fighting them) Nagash just decided 'Fuck it!' While he never had any high expectation for them, viewing them as unbefitting for any profession (even as slaves in Nehekhara), their behavior in battle made him realize that these barbarians were too fucking stupid to see any value in what he was planning to teach them, and might in fact be expecting some kind of fucking miracles like turning them into superman or something. Being the nice and rational person he is, Nagash turned them to cannibalism by claiming they could gain the strength of their foes by ingesting their flesh. His mortal servant was horrified to deliver the message, but he still did it and the entire tribe were dumb enough to follow Nagash's cruel sense of humor, becoming the only [[ghoul]] "Yaghur" (also their tribe's name) in the setting, creatures of hairless, naked ape like monster that eats humans ([[grimdark|preferably woman and children]]). To this day, the Yaghurs hunts for the flesh of any living being as well as their own in the area around the shores of the Soul Sea, probably killed some Dwarf thus earned some grudges and fought some orcs where they either ate them, got krumped by them or ate each other like a dumb ass lovers.
* After Nagash finally conquered the northern tribe by forcing his enemy to starvation by denying them farming (his undead army does not need to eat and his ghouls sustain themselves on their kills), he had every "heretical priests" of the tribe burned alive while chained on a totem of their [[Chaos God|four-faced god]]. Nagash was having a blast where he sadistically insulted their god(s) in front of their cult's leader. Nagash then rounded up every tribesman and subjected them to his [[1984|EXTREME undead-feudalism, where women are to be treated like a cattle, continue to giving birth so the children would grow up to either become his slave warriors, slave miners, or died in the process while being either of them, then raised back as undead to repeat in death their slavery in life]]. Still, Nagash was at least 'reasonable' in his rule (and may be even approaching some remote form of kindness for the '''first''' time in his life), for he allowed the mortal tribes to farm and eat as long as they served him, and even rewarded those that were smarter and more capable with some form of nobility and useful trinkets (even if he personally despised every last one of them and wished to use them as pawns to destroy his homeland). That said, he was still being Nagash, and those who opposed him met with death, having them as well as their entire families (from women to children) devoured by his ghouls. Anyone foolish enough to rebel was punished by their undead ancestors, raised from their graves that were just so happened to entombed outside their village's surrounding.
* Despite having studied architecture in Khemri for 20 years, the buildings he designed are grim, dull, dangerous and scary. His Black Pyramid (unlike those of other tomb kings who were white marble pyramids) is pitch black as fuck (since is made out of black marble, with its purpose being some kind of magical super weapon and power storage, but not for preservation and honoring gods). His Nagashizzar is even more frightening with its green flame torches and poison gas coming out of warpstone mines like some fucking death metal album. When Nagash and his newly enslaved barbarian followers arrived at its front gate, the view traumatized his battle-hardened forces. Some of his constructs are built from human tendon (in case you are wondering, making constructs (robots) is part of Nehekharan's architecture studies).
* While ruling Nagashizzar, he had a constant urge to kill his "living" followers out of thoughtless paranoia (a frustrating experience he had learned from his betrayal in the past). When Braghad, one of Nagash's top living servants, criticized him for not protecting Braghad's village, Nagash telepathically rebuked him by saying that they're his tools for all eternity (because they have drunk the life elixir and are now Nagash's BITCH). Nagash followed up by spitefully choking his barbarian witch servant for criticizing Nagash's callousness with the lives her warriors. So in short, Nagash is a self-obsessed, paranoid, greedy, power-hungry, murderous, selfish being that loves warpstone; [[Skaven|does that seem-sound familiar?]]
* He used his loyal vassals as tools in a terrible incantation to make himself a magic set of amour and then, for the only time in any of his fluff, he does something nice for someone besides himself by complimenting them for exceeding his expectations. After complimenting them, he sent them to the '''now destroyed afterlife''' where they would tell the dead Thutep and others that their vengeance would never come.
* Started a new war against Nehekhara. Managed to destroy Maharak as a revenge, but that was it since Nehekharans were too well prepared under Alcadizzar's guidance.
* Employed the Skaven to taint the river of his own birth land and unleash a horrible plague to annihilate the entire Nehekharan civilization after losing the war against them; because on top of being a mad wizard and an immoral bastard, he's a sore loser. The plague makes any normal being rot from their inside out, slowly torment them with pain, finally drive them to madness then die. Despite Alcadizzar's effort, the entire Nehekaran society crumbled within a year. All food prices suddenly spike up, forcing many plague bearing citizens to resort to violence and thievery for food and clean water. This ultimately destroyed everything Alcadizzar worked for and killed his two sons and wife. By the time the undead legion launched their second invasion, Alcadizzar's forces consisted of merely a thousand plague weakened soldiers, wearing little to no armor while wielding farming tools (because armor and other good weapons were too heavy for the sick).
** Bonus evil point that the plague killed animals and plants too; wild or domesticated. All lifeforms were targeted by this plague just like how he tainted the god given lake in life. Nagash's crime against nature makes any modern corporation's illegal chemical dumping practice look like a child's play.
* After capturing Alcadizzar and subjecting him to harsh captivity on the trip to Nagashizzar, Nagash taunted Alcadizzar, asking him how it felt to watch his people and loved ones die. He then explained why he'd spared Alcadizzar, and how the entirety of Nehekhara's souls would be enslaved by using him as the key, and how he'd use the legion of the dead of every dynasty combined as the ultimate army to annihilate all life in the world. Nagash capped this off by telling Alcadizzar how he was going to take Alcadizzar's (un)dead wife as his consort if he liked her enough - similar to what Nagash did to his brother Thutep before entombing him... (Except Nagash genuinely lusted after Neferem. This he just said to taunt Alcadizzar further.)
** Said ritual also used up a lot of captured Savage Orcs' souls, which is a crime because even deserved to die fightin' in a WAAAGH rather than being sacrificed to some ded humies' borin' magic.
* Almost destroyed the Empire and nearly crippled Sigmar in a duel by using a poisoned blade.
* Cursed the [[Vampire Counts|Vampires]] with a vulnerability to Sigmar's power and other curses after the assholes were too self-absorbed to help Nagash out during the two major battles: war with the Empire and the Nehekhara war. While this might seem like good riddance because of the vampires' treacherous and dickish nature, the evil thing about these curses is that it prevents vampires from enjoying life with their new found immortality and it also applied to the vampires who were loyal to him.
* The End Times adds killing several demigods, including [[Valaya]], the ancestor goddess of the Dwarfs, while she slumbered and Usirian, the Nehekharan's chief god of death, so he could take on and destroy the Chaos Gods (and then failing to do that).
* After defeating Settra and uniting nearly all of the Tomb Kings under his banner, he destroyed Nehekhara despite all the resources the nation held (not to mention depriving Neferata of ever going to Lahmia again).
* Killing messengers from the Empire asking for his help when a 'no' would have been enough, then turning around and expecting to get help when he's forced to ask the living for it.
* Mocked Tyrion and Alarielle about the fact that he was brought back to life by their daughter being sacrificed; (Which makes this list because [[That Guy|he did so while asking for their help]]). The actual quote was something like "MY DESTRUCTION WILL NOT BRING HER BACK... THE SOUL OF THE EVERCHILD IS NOT MINE TO GIVE. LIKE ALL YOUR KIND, SHE IS ALREADY FODDER FOR THE [[Slaanesh|DARK PRINCE]]!" Gotta hand it to Nagash for this one, since he clearly hasn't lost his funny bone despite being a cold-blooded lich who kill people as he pleases.
* When invading a Chaos-controlled Middenheim to stop Archaon, Nagash and his forces encountered captive soldiers and civilians of the Empire. Arkhan suggested freeing them to use as extra fighters (while privately thinking to use this as a goodwill gesture for their living allies), but Nagash decided to kill them, turn them into a zombie army, and joked about how they're now free and how he plans to "free" the forces of Chaos.
** In the aforementioned invasion, Nagash had [[Throgg]] by the throat but was told by him (a fucking troll, of all living beings!) that serving Chaos is better than serving Nagash. The best thing is that Throgg made a reasonable statement and quite valid observation, conceding that both were servitude but lucidly contrasting Nagash's undying, static, slavering one with the Chaos Gods' adaptable, occasionally rewarding one; and how the latter was just so much more appealing than the former. Of course, Nagash [[rage|simply couldn't stand getting told]], and Throgg was turned into dust on the spot.
* Nagash's evil extends beyond his universe. Apparently, GW must have bribed Naggy with souls or whatever, because in the new Death Faction Nagash didn't see fit to bring back the Tomb Kings.
* Murdered even more death gods in order to take over the realm of Shyish.
* Started hiding undead armies, who would go on to become the [[Ossiarch Bonereapers]], beneath cities of the forces of Order for when he would make his bid for power.
* Betrayed Sigmar and the forces of Order to try to become the supreme god, which allowed Chaos to take over seven eighths of the realms while he got beaten down by Archaon. Notable because it began with Nagash's undead army turning on Sigmar's forces during a crucial battle against Chaos. 
* When a group of queens ruling island-nations, collectively called the Skull Isles, offered themselves to Nagash if he would spare their people, Nagash claimed them for himself... then had their kingdoms destroyed by his undead armies (in that same audio drama, Nagash outright states he does not have mercy, honor or pity).
* [[Warhammer Underworlds|At some point while ruling his realm of Death, he punished the citizens of Shadespire for cheating death with the use of some magic mirrors by throwing the entire fucking city into the void of between the realm of life and shadow, forcing them into an unlife of torment.]]
** As a revenge for destroying Krell (wait, Nagash actually care about something other than himself? or is it because Krell was one of his favourite toys?), Nagash trapped Sigvald's fractured soul inside a [[Warhammer Underworlds|Shadespire]] mirror and cursed it so that viewers will only see idealized version of themselves instead of Sigvald. The mirror was then thrown into the direction where [[Warhammer Underworlds|Shadespire]] was supposed to be just so it could end inside one of its many pocket dimensions inside any mirror of the cities, trapped inside them for eternity. Thankfully it did not work out for Nagash and the mirror was flung to Slaanesh's prison instead and Sigvald became a demon prince because of this.
* A necromancer and tribal leader named Tamra ven Drak released some spirits he'd imprisoned in order to save her people from a Nurglite invasion; Tamra and her people were devout worshippers of Nagash. When Nagash confronted Tamra, she begged for mercy for her people. Nagash killed them all right down to the last child and turned them into an undead army, stating this preserved their souls forever, put them under her charge and said this was what he calls mercy. While Nagash did make Tamra a Deathlord, he only did so because Arkhan and Neferata insisted. (And they had to work together to convince Nagash Tamra would be more useful if he spared her.)
* He never showed up during the siege of the Allpoints Shyishian Gate despite promising reinforcements in a supposedly renewed alliance, which meant not only making Sigmar lose (temporally) an entire army of Stormcasts, but allowing Archaon to keep a direct avenue of attack to his own realm.
* Attempted to enact a ritual that would raise all dead in the Mortal Realms in order to exterminate all life. This would also deprive all the other gods of their worshipers, so they would have to bend the knee.
* About that ritual, he started it long before the Age of Chaos, which means he outright planned to betray Sigmar, despite Sigmar freeing him from the atemporal tomb.
* His Nighthaunt armies include Dreadscythe Harridans, spirits of healers who he has turned into tormented killing machines for the 'crime' of saving people from dying and thus preventing their souls from coming to Shyish ''even though this is temporary since mortals all die over time''. Other examples are enslaving the ghosts of betrayed people to the ones who killed them (Lord Executioners) and forcing ghosts into servitude because they didn't pray to Nagash to free them when they were still alive (Bladegheists and Chainrasps). He considers this "justice", even calling himself "...a just god, if nothing else". Yes, he is so evil he can deny good people from going to their specific afterlife paradises, which actually ''do exist'' in the Age of Sigmar setting.

[[TL;DR]] He was a spiteful person who blamed [[Malekith|the gods and everyone else in his homeland for denying his throne]], which got worse overtime where he is tormented by his own failures, then his inhumane undead transformation through warpstone, dark magic and life elixir, further made him spiteful at all living life.

While some of the deeds on this list may have been done by your average [[Skaven]], [[Dark Elves|Dark Elf]] or [[Chaos]] Lord there is a big difference between them and Nagash. The former usually do this either to advance a group they're part of or to appease their gods, and no single member of those factions has done as much as Nagash. Points of case; [[Thanquol]] at least respects and pays homage to the Horned Rat, [[Malus Darkblade]] actually cared up to a certain point for his own troops while loving his mother and his pet/steed Spite, and [[Archaon]] was very protective of his adopted father and lover (the only people Archaon had ever gave a shit about) before they died. Nagash on the other hand didn't care about anyone, despised the gods and had no empathy for anyone besides himself. He killed off his remaining family, fucked up his own nation and a large section of the world for selfish gain and, so far as the fluff goes, he has never cared or done anything for anyone other than himself, with his ultimate plan being to literally turn everything into undead with no will under his command.

On one hand, Nagash honestly believed this to be the best thing for the Warhammer world and had something of a point. Chaos has a hard time corrupting the undead, and Nagash had already managed to steal one of Khorne's favoured champions (Krell). On the other hand, undead are resistant to Chaos but can be corrupted by it. In the End Times, Chaos managed to steal two of Nagash's champions (Kemmler and Walach), not to mention Nagash himself briefly considered bending the knee to the Chaos Gods after the destruction of the Black Pyramid. And Nagash himself was already an omnicidal sociopath, even without Chaos corruption; [[Malekith]] called Nagash an evil monster who needed to be destroyed, the once-human daemon Bea'lakor considered Nagash his equal in evil and Teclis - while using divine vision from Lileath - noted that Nagash's aura was only slightly less black than the invading Khorne daemons. Nagash is so evil he's considered only slightly less evil than daemons, which are literal embodiments of evil. In Age of Sigmar, Archaon actually managed to work on Nagash's vaingloriousness to make him betray Sigmar (more jarring when it was revealed they fought together to save the Mortal Realms from ancient abominations), and the vampire Vhordrai tried to betray Nagash to the Chaos Gods.

Black Library seemed to share the idea, since a banner promoting the book ''"The Return of Nagash"'' names him as ''"The Greatest Villain in the Warhammer World"''. He also appears to have helped GW [[Squat]] the Tomb Kings. On a side note Nagash also enjoys the occasional orphanage being slaughtered as a snack, we wonder how is that Sigmar kept him in check during the entire Age of Myth, probably judicious application of Ghal Maraz to the skull (cue squeaky toy hammer sounds).
