			Since the opening of the Great Rift, Kor Phaeron has oddly been quite active, marshalling Chaos forces to blunt the advance of the Indomitus Crusade and assisting the various Hands of Abbadon in doing..whatever the fuck they are trying to do..

	According to ''Lorgar: Bearer of the Word'' Kor Phaeron had been exiled from Colchis' capital city following a dispute with the Covenant regarding how aggressively they should be converting and had since taken up life as a wandering preacher. One day, when he visited one of the Colchisan tribes, he discovered Lorgar who'd been found by the tribesmen. At first, Phaeron saw the young Primarch as nothing more than a vessel for the Ruinous Powers. Fearing the Covenant would find out about Lorgar, he ordered the massacre of the entire tribe and took the boy to tag along with him. Forced into assuming a role of 'father' he absolutely wasn't suited for, Kor Phaeron didn't exactly make a stellar job of it (he'd be runner-up to Big E for the "Galaxy's worst dad" award). While he did teach the young Primarch everything he knew he also regularly beat Lorgar when the "boy" displeased him, usually because of the young Primarch's inquisitive nature.

	Phaeron's relationship with Lorgar was weird. While he did act as a counselor and confidant, more than once he would harshly rebuke the Primarch, belittlingly calling him "son" despite the fact Lorgar could now kill him with a flick of his wrist. Lorgar, for his part, seemed to hold no grudge against his foster father for his harshness and manipulation (and went to great lengths to make sure Phaeron could accompany his Legion where he could just have left him behind) and valued his counsel, making him First Captain of the Word Bearers (despite many hating him for not being a full Astartes) and his equerry. Maybe Lorgar just appreciated that there still was someone in his Legion who'd talk back to him instead of just be in awe of him.		Phaeron's relationship with Lorgar was weird.

	Kor Phaeron would eventually have an epiphany about the relationship between him and Lorgar when he realized that between his Primarch powers and his curiosity with religion, Lorgar would've eventually ended up taking over the Covenant even without his influence. This fucked him up real bad, as he always thought of Lorgar as a tool for his rise to power when in truth the Ruinous Powers had merely intended him to be a pawn to ensure Lorgar's. Realizing that from the very beginning he was only able to abuse and manipulate Lorgar because Lorgar let him, he feared the day his son would no longer have use for him.

	When the Emperor [[Exterminatus\|gently rebuked]] Lorgar for spreading the Cult of the ''Lectitio Divinatus'', Kor Phaeron realized his time had finally come and he came forward with the Primordial Truth once again. Along with First Chaplain [[Erebus]], he was the one who told Lorgar that if the Emperor was unwilling to embrace worship, there might be [[Chaos Gods\|other gods]] who would welcome it, leading Lorgar down the path to [[Chaos]]. During the [[Horus Heresy]], Kor Phaeron led the Word Bearers assault on Calth, in revenge for the [[Ultramarines]] role in Lorgar's rebuke. He faced against [[Roboute Guilliman]] and managed to beat him down with psychic powers, but then he made the mistake of trying to turn Guilliman to Chaos instead of killing him on the spot. Guilliman, who really wasn't interested in Phaeron's preachings, shook off the effect of the psychic blast and [[Rip and tear\|ripped out]] Phaeron's primary heart. Running back to his [[battle-barge]], Kor Phaeron ran like a bitch to the [[Maelstrom]], pursued by the Macragge's Honour (flagship of the Ultramarines Legion). During what was known as the 'most infamous naval duel of the Heresy', Kor Phaeron promptly got his battle barge blown to smithereens while he looked on in horror. Unfortunately for both the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers he would escape through a warp rift (opened by the anatheme) with a handful of his closest followers to the planet of Sicarus.

	Still, Lorgar endured, grew and became a respected member of the Covenant under Phaeron's harsh guidance. Eventually he [[Eldrad\|manipulated]] the young Primarch into rising against the leaders of the Covenant. After six years, Lorgar's forces won and Phaeron and Lorgar became the Arch-Deacon and [[Ecclesiarchy\|Ecclesiarch]] of the Faith respectively. Around this time Lorgar received visions of the Emperor, and he began spreading his belief of the One. In his heart and soul, Kor Phearon was a firm believer of the [[Chaos\|Primordial Truth]], however (unlike many others in the Covenant) he was willing to pretend to be [[Tau\|open-minded]] and see where his adoptive son's visions would lead them. For all his many other flaws, he was well-aware that he did not possess all the answers and that he could be wrong, so he put a lid on his personal belief and stood by Lorgar to await the coming of the one that would be known as "Emperor of Mankind".

	Shortly afterwards, the Emperor did arrive on Colchis, seemingly vindicating Lorgar's visions to the Colchisians. Big E made Lorgar commander of his [[Word Bearers\|XVIIth]] ''Imperial Heralds'' [[Space Marine]] Legion, which Lorgar renamed the Word Bearers. Kor Phaeron wanted to join Lorgar in his new crusade, but since he was already an old man by this point he could no longer become a proper Space Marine. So at Lorgar's urging they gave Phaeron those organs his old body still could accept along with a ton of ~~''juvenat''~~ treatments, and he was appointed Captain of the First Company. Half the Legion in turn hated Phaeron for the nepotism and the fact that he was not a true Astartes, while the other respected his skills as a preacher.

	When the Emperor [[Exterminatus\|gently rebuked]] Lorgar for spreading the Cult of the ''Lectitio Divinatus'', Kor Phaeron realized his time had finally come and he came forward with the Primordial Truth once again. Along with First Chaplain [[Erebus]], he was the one who told Lorgar that if the Emperor was unwilling to embrace worship, there might be [[Chaos Gods\|other gods]] who would welcome it, leading Lorgar down the path to [[Chaos]]. During the [[Horus Heresy]], Kor Phaeron led the Word Bearers assault on Calth, in revenge for the [[Ultramarines]] role in Lorgar's rebuke.

Guilliman, who really wasn't interested in Phaeron's preachings, shook off the effect of the psychic blast and [[Rip and tear\|ripped out]] Phaeron's primary heart. Running back to his [[battle-barge]], Kor Phaeron ran like a bitch to the [[Maelstrom]], pursued by the Macragge's Honour (flagship of the Ultramarines Legion). During what was known as the 'most infamous naval duel of the Heresy', Kor Phaeron promptly got his battle barge blown to smithereens while he looked on in horror. Unfortunately for both the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers he would escape through a warp rift (opened by the anatheme) with a handful of his closest followers to the planet of Sicarus.
