Editing Characters of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (section)

===[[Abaddon the Despoiler]]===

The main antagonist of both games, Abaddon the Despoiler is the Warmaster of [[Chaos]], leader of the [[Black Legion]], and Commander of the [[Fleets of Chaos|Black Fleet]]. Ancient, powerful, and with a chip on his shoulder ten millennia old, Abaddon [[Black Crusade|set his sights]] [[Gothic War|upon the Gothic Sector]] thanks to the urgings of a certain [[Mephet'ran|troll]].

What followed was almost two decades of fire and anguish for the people of the sector. While his fleets were ''eventually'' driven back by an alliance between the [[Imperial Navy]] and the Eldar, Abaddon still sort of wins, as he was able to abscond with two [[Blackstone Fortress]]es, while he destroyed the rest, and left the defenses of the Gothic Sector in tatters. [[Just as Planned]].

At the end of the 41st Millennium, Abaddon makes [[Black Crusade|another play against the Imperium]], and ''this time'', [[Gathering Storm|mostly succeeds]], thanks to blowing up [[Cadia]]. With his Chaos fleets now running rampant across the Segmentum thanks to the [[Great Rift]], Spire now has to clean up the mess he left behind. The finale to the second game in the Imperial campaign gives Spire a chance to end the Despoiler's rampage once and for all, as usual, Failbaddon is quite a bad boss, with his minions used as cannon fodder while he gloats about how he cannot be beaten by any mortal being from the bridge of his flagship, of course (if you play the game right) having the Maccrage's Honour and a score of battleships at your side makes the Vengeful Spirit look less impressive than it ought to be.
