Editing Kor Phaeron (section)

==HERESY!== 
When the Emperor [[Exterminatus|gently rebuked]] Lorgar for spreading the Cult of the ''Lectitio Divinatus'', Kor Phaeron realized his time had finally come and he came forward with the Primordial Truth once again. Along with First Chaplain [[Erebus]], he was the one who told Lorgar that if the Emperor was unwilling to embrace worship, there might be [[Chaos Gods|other gods]] who would welcome it, leading Lorgar down the path to [[Chaos]]. During the [[Horus Heresy]], Kor Phaeron led the Word Bearers assault on Calth, in revenge for the [[Ultramarines]] role in Lorgar's rebuke. He faced against [[Roboute Guilliman]] and managed to beat him down with psychic powers, but then he made the mistake of trying to turn Guilliman to Chaos instead of killing him on the spot. Guilliman, who really wasn't interested in Phaeron's preachings, shook off the effect of the psychic blast and [[Rip and tear|ripped out]] Phaeron's primary heart. Running back to his [[battle-barge]], Kor Phaeron ran like a bitch to the [[Maelstrom]], pursued by the Macragge's Honour (flagship of the Ultramarines Legion). During what was known as the 'most infamous naval duel of the Heresy', Kor Phaeron promptly got his battle barge blown to smithereens while he looked on in horror. Unfortunately for both the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers he would escape through a warp rift (opened by the anatheme) with a handful of his closest followers to the planet of Sicarus.

On Sicarus, he took a further level in dickery when he encountered a Chaos-worshipping tribe native to the planet. The tribe had a prophecy where he would sacrifice himself to open a portal, which would allow his Word Bearer forces to travel to Terra and participate in the Siege. Infuriated by the idea, he instead exterminated the tribe and set about conquering the planet, leading it to become the Word Bearers' new homeworld once the rest of the Legion headed to the Eye of Terror.

Ten thousand years later, Kor Phaeron and Erebus are the co-leaders of the Word Bearers in Lorgar's absence, although "co-leaders" may be a bit strong; the two bicker like an old married couple and can't seem to agree on anything. So they usually do their own business, up to and including trying to kill off the other's followers in games of Just As Planned. Though since his adoptive son is becoming more active, time will tell if this status quo continues. 

Since the opening of the Great Rift, Kor Phaeron has oddly been quite active, marshalling Chaos forces to blunt the advance of the Indomitus Crusade and assisting the various Hands of Abbadon in doing..whatever the fuck they are trying to do..
