	Daemon Primarchs are also not immune to this rule, as [[Kaldor Draigo]] managed to severely weaken [[Mortarion]] by uttering his true name (as in the original name the Emperor gave him, before he was given the name "Mortarion" on Barbarus). Fulgrim was similarly subjugated by Zardu Layak using it, although doing so wiped his memories of his life before the Siege of Terra.

	The effects of their names being uttered tend to have mixed results and seems to depend on the strength of the daemon in question, although all of the results are debilitating. These can range anywhere from the daemon's strength being sapped, to them being immobilized or even explode, as well as being outright banished back into the warp. In any case, it's an event all of them would fight tooth and nail to avoid, as it's a guarantee that they'll be defeated if its utterance is ever successful.

In any case, it's an event all of them would fight tooth and nail to avoid, as it's a guarantee that they'll be defeated if its utterance is ever successful. In some cases, it can even serve as the difference-maker between a daemon in question merely being banished back to the warp, or suffering a ''True Death'', meaning permakilled, and for beings that base their entire world view on an otherwise infinite existence, the fear of being unambiguously snuffed out forever is vastly more terrifying. By way of example, this fear is so pronounced that we've seen Bloodletters fleeing in abject terror once they were assailed by Necron weaponry, Plaguebearers kill ''themselves'' rather than crossing blades with Sisters of Silence, Daemonettes beg for mercy when attacked with Enuncia, and Horrors withdraw immediately to the warp when confronted with archeotech from the Dark Age of Technology. The common denominator is that the neverborn got very desperate, very quickly when faced by combatants capable of rendering them a ''True Death'', and opted to pick up sticks and run the fuck away if they could. The only silver lining is that these warriors and weapons are all exceptionally rare. By contrast, any yahoo can say a name, so it's absolutely understandable why daemons would be so defensive on keeping it hidden.

			As mentioned above, there also exist Heralds, souped-up versions of these daemons that are generally tasked with leading the ground forces of chaos while the Greater Daemons go off waging what carnage they can. These Heralds also bear Daemonic Loci that can empower their fellow Lesser Daemons, whether on foot or riding a steed.
