	Is it any surprise that these consuls hailed from the [[Word Bearers\|XVII Legion]]? Indeed, as [[Lorgar]] dove further into the Primordial Truth, so too did his sons continue diving into this forbidden lore of the daemons, even as this knowledge corrupted their souls and twisted them. One might assume them as the predecessor to the [[Master of Possession]] that would lead the Legions of Chaos, and that is quite close a guess.

Agent of the [[Horus\|Warmaster]] and the [[Black Legion\|XVI Legion]], the Dark Emissary is dispatched to other legions, seeking to corrupt their leadership by whispering honeyed words to those who would listen.

	Serving the Jarls of the [[Space Wolves\|VI Legion]]'s great companies, the Thegns serve as a champion with plenty of experience to impart to their troops. However, they do not view this as an honour as these Thegns have been passed up for promotion as Jarl, whether by suffering some grave dishonour or as the lone survivor of their pack.

Where the role of Consul is usually seen as a role of some renown and leadership, the [[Moritat]] does not get such acclaim. Being drawn from the scorned Destroyer companies, the Moritat is specially tasked to deliver death without relying on the command structure most would use.

	On the Horus Heresy tabletop, the Moritat is specially noted for their rad grenades and their dual-pistol loadout, their most iconic feature as it lets them rapid fire these pistols to an almost comical degree.
