	When Katakros was struck down by Archaon, the pain inflicted by the Everchosen's blade - the Slayer of Kings - didn't fully fade after he was remade. Even worse, Katakros is starting to hear whispering voices when alone and is repeatedly struck with unpredictable visions of harrowing anarchy and madness. They got so severe, he ordered the Mortisans to tear his body apart and rebuild it... which did nothing, as it turns out Katakros' very soul is wounded.		When Katakros was struck down by Archaon, the pain inflicted by the Everchosen's blade - the Slayer of Kings - didn't fully fade after he was remade. Even worse, Katakros is starting to hear whispering voices when alone and is repeatedly struck with unpredictable visions of harrowing anarchy and madness. They got so severe, he ordered the Mortisans to tear his body apart and rebuild it... which did nothing, as it turns out Katakros' very soul is wounded.

			On top of this its revealed that his original assualt on the Eightpoints didn't go as much to plan as Katakros let on. While he didn't expect to take it in one campaign he never intended to have his forces to be decimated to the extent that they were, nor was him getting his body destroyed by Archaon technically part of the plan either. Apparently that whole "planning to lose from the start" was atleast him partially trying to save face. In fact the initial campaign had been a near disaster with his legions devastated in Archaons counterattack.

	Telling no-one about these issues, Katakros tried to distract himself, and found his attention turning to Ghur, his former homeland. Due to the upheaval of Kragnos' return, the natives of Ghur have become more resistant to the Bonereapers, particularly against the Ivory Host currently campaigning there. It's implied Katakros is turning his attention less onto the Eightpoints and more on conquering his former homeland. Things went from bad to worse when Katakros' bone form started crumbling to dust, forcing his soul to move to one of the backup bodies. This happened again, meaning the soul damage from Archaon's sword means each body Katakros gets will eventually crumble to dust. Katakros's hatred for Sigmar is now matched by his hatred of Archaon, who has arguably done more damage to him than even Sigmar did. To this end Katakros has himself accompanied by Mortisans at all times to try and figure out a solution for the problem.

	* Katakros' last name likely derives from the Greek root word for cataphract, which is "kataphraktos".

	What doesn’t work out though is his master Nagash getting his skull caved in by Teclis and friends plus sealed away in Nagashizzar while Katakros is away on his Eightpoints campaign. Though Katakros doesn't seem to put out by this, and just continued with business as usual by playing the long game to conquer the Eightpoints. He didn't even mind Olynder working with Be'lakor since it hurt Sigmar's plans in a big way and swelled her ranks (even despite Neferata warning him that Be'lakor's plans would hurt them too). But despite this, cracks are starting to show (pun intended).

	So now he's heading right back to the fight, likely leading to Archaon ripping him apart a second time, except now Katakros is now without the majority of his army and, due to the properties of the Slayer of Kings, the pain from Archaon's killing blow(s) didn't fade even when Katakros transferred bodies.

	It seems he has adopted Nagash's habit of declaring his own failures as mere setbacks, which debatably may hold water, given that both characters are able to continuously come back after getting pummeled or their plans getting disrupted. The main reason for this plan being to gather slowly gather intelligence on the forces of Archaon with each loss, despite the possibility that Archaon could turn it back on him and learn how Katakros' forces work. He already showed his best and brightest soldiers and generals in his initial put down of the Bonereapers, so now Katakros can build a strategy around that. Katakros isn’t trying to conquer the Eightpoints in a a swift decisive manner, rather he wants to stay dug in and play the long game, slowly building his repository of knowledge and army until he deems the time is appropriate. Why he thinks this is a valid strategy at the rate he's losing ground and troops is left a mystery, since while Chaos can't resurrect their followers if they've harvested body and soul by the Bonereapers, there's still the daemonic armies... rendering the war of attrition Katakros wants to get into nigh impossible to win. But much like his master, the Mortarch of the Necropolis is stubbornly patient.
