In [[Warhammer 40,000]], Be'lakor was the first Daemon Prince, as well as the first (and allegedly "last", but there have been plenty more since) Daemon Prince created through the action of all four Chaos Gods ([[Derp|apparently]] [[Lorgar]] and [[Perturabo]] were special exceptions or something (though knowing Pert, I wouldn't be surprised if he was 75% Khornate or something and 0% Slaanesh considering what the [[Emperor's Children|Emperor's Cunts]] wanted to do with Pert)), and quickly proved to be difficult to control even at the best of times. Apparently his creation gave him the Daemonic equivalent of daddy issues and now he spends most of his time trying to kill all other Champions of Chaos, including other Daemon Princes. The Chaos Gods tolerate him mostly because his wild-card status makes him an excellent pawn in their power struggles, something Be'lakor himself is completely unaware of (as he thinks he still has free will and just wants to cement his position as Chaos' sole champion).

Recently, he's shown up to "help" with [[Abaddon]]'s [[Black Crusade]]s by giving him [[Troll|seemingly helpful advice that often leads to unexpectedly heavy losses]], all in an attempt to undermine his credibility (well, more so than he does on his own). In a stunning display of insight, Abaddon saw through his ruse, but allowed him to remain within the Black Legion in order to keep tabs on him and better prepare for his sudden but inevitable betrayal. The Imperium is only dimly aware that he exists, as Be'lakor has been very careful about concealing his presence from history (with the unwitting help of a Magos who learned just enough about him to know that he ruled and ruined countless empires throughout history, but not enough to realize that he's a Daemon Prince).

He's also been shown to be in contact with [[Ahzek Ahriman|Ahriman]]. No word on whether Ahriman has accepted his offer of being made his greatest champion in exchange for his service, however, but seeing as Ahzek rejects even Tzeentch's own offerings to be HIS chosen champion, still thinks he's independent of any god (despite having Tzeentch's mark on the tabletop), and actively tries to become the fifth Chaos god himself, it's a good bet he told Be'lakor to go fuck himself with someone else's force sword.

During Gathering Storm Be'lakor helped the [[Iron Warriors]] invade the [[Imperial Fists]] star fortress the Phalanx, attempting to upstage Abaddon by using it to attack Terra directly. The Imperial Fists turned the Phalanx's own weapons on the chaos-tainted regions, destroying them and killing most of the Iron Warriors, then the [[Legion of the Damned]] arrived. Be'lakor himself got his ass kicked by [[Tor Garadon]] (before he was even given a model!). This abject failure was unfortunately the only time Be'lakor was ever really relevant to Warhammer 40k's plot. In general Be'lakor never really is shown doing much and seems to only exist in 40k because daemons in both settings have to cross-over.

During Warzone Charadon: The Book of Fire, Be'lakor arrived having been summoned and supported by [[What|the Alpha Legion and Word Bearers working together as best bros]]. This force invaded the House Raven Imperial Knight Homeworld of Kolossi. The Daemonic and Heretic forces devastated the Imperial forces and successfully captured the world of Kolossi before [[Troll|whisking it away from House Raven and turning into a Daemon World, dishonoring them and leaving them homeless.]] His forces ended also fucking over Typhus and the Metalica invasion forces. In the end he got shit done, which is impressive in comparison to Abaddon.
As of Codex: Chaos Knights the surviving members of House Raven stranded on Kolossi pledged their loyalty to Be'lakor and renamed themselves House Korvax (very creative, we know), expanding his repertoire of assets. Even more recently during the [[Ark of Omen|Arks of Omen]] campaign Be’lakor tried to stop the upstart unaligned Daemon [[Vashtorr]] from assembling the pieces of an artifact called the Dissonance Engine. Vashtorr wanted this gizmo in order to use it to access a hid vault in the [[Webway]] full of tech and knowledge left behind by the [[Old Ones]] and thus become a god. In order to do this Vashtorr enlisted Abaddon’s help in recovering the pieces of this artifact by bribing him with gigantic super ships called the Arks of Omen. Be'lakor upon hearing of this plan tried to stop it, not wanting any competition off Chaos godhood, and ambushed Vashtorr on the central [[Dark Angel]] ship/monastery known as the Rock when Vashtorr assaulted the place trying to acquire a piece of the artifact. Unfortunately while Be'lakor succeeded in foiling this assault he ultimately failed to stop Vashtorr’s plan as Vashtorr later succeeded in building the damn artifact at the climax of the campaign, and thus making all of Be’lakor’s work for naught unless someone hurries and manages to stop Vashtorr from using the engine to open the vault.
