	His epithet of 'Arkifane' spells out his role within the Forge of Souls, 'Arki' coming from Ancient Greek and Latin for 'chief or leader' and comes from the older árkhō meaning 'to lead, rule, govern or begin'. While 'Fane' comes from the Latin 'fanum' meaning shrine or temple. So Vashtorr the Arkifane literally means Vashtorr the master of the shrine. Digging into meanings a little you also get Vashtorr 'the first of the shrine', in the ancient Greek/Roman sense of the 'first citizen' being the oldest and most respected man within the Senate and unspokenly the most influential and powerful member. A title that was taken and used by all Roman Emperors for that very reason, to demonstrate that they were the most powerful person in the Senate. Roman Emperors were also deified after death, and later were deified while they were alive and regarded as gods within the Roman pantheon, which is the goal of Vashtorr within the Chaos Pantheon.

Thus far, the only real opposition he faces is from [[Be'lakor]], who undoubtedly does not like the competition for his own attempts in ascending to godhood. However, like his parents, even he hesitates at making a direct offensive lest he find himself thrown into a pit of thousands of daemon engines.

	Curiously enough, Vashtorr might actually be more along the lines of [[Lawful Evil]] rather than whatever spectrum the big 4 decide to be on any given day. While the contracts he brokers with daemons willing to become Soul Grinders are never exactly fair, he's a stickler for the exact terms of each contract and will always uphold them. Often, it's the contracted daemons who grow too greedy and thus break the terms of their own accord.

	In any event, despite the best efforts of the [[Imperium of Man]], [[Farsight Enclaves]], or his demonic rival [[Be'lakor]] to stop him he ultimately managed to get all the artifact pieces he needs. So at the end of the Arks of Omen narrative, he is able to form the Key or “dissonance engine” as it’s also known by rebuilding the shattered remnants of the [[Dark Angels]] homeworld of [[Caliban (Warhammer 40,000) \|Caliban]] and turning it into a [[Daemon World]] which Vashtorr rechristened as Wyrmwood. As it turns out the whole damn planet was the key the whole time, with it being confirmed that, as had been theorized by fans from the three time-warping relics of Caliban, the Old Ones actually made it to create and expand the Webway. All he was missing was the final piece, [[The Rock]]; lucky for him the Dark Angels were already rightly pissed off by fact their home world was now fully a demonic hellhole and charged right in. However before the Dark Angels or their newly returned Primarch [[Lion El'Jonson]] (and some Blood Angels who arrived in Jonson's request) could try and kill Vashtorr or his Chaos allies for this offense, Vashtorr activated the Dissonance Engine and opened a new portal into the Webway that absorbed Wyrmwood and thus allowed him and his allies to escape. Now the rest of the galaxy can only hope and pray that someone amongst them can track Vashtorr down and stop him before he can locate the Webway vault and uses it to ascend to godhood.

Notably, there's been no word about his presence in the [[Age of Sigmar\|Mortal Realms]]. On one hand, his presence is so recent that there was likely no chance for him to even appear in the most recent Chaos Battletomes, meaning that GW has plenty of time to write up some sort of plot hook to add him in and preserve the pan-universal theming of daemons. However, it's also likely that he just won't show up there as the forces of Chaos in that setting don't really have much on the tech angle - but c'mon, there's no way you wouldn't want Warp-corrupted [[Kharadron Overlords\|steampunk dwarf zepplins]]. <strike>Also, [[Hashut]] is the one filling his niche of "evil god of industry" for fantasy/AoS.</strike> Not necessarily. Hashut in both Fantasy and Age of Sigmar is the Chaos God of Tyranny, whereas Vashtorr seems to be more of the embodiment of the innovative spirit. For Hashut, it is not the Dawi Zarr's use of technology that feeds him, but the subjugation and suffering that they use to fuel their infernal forges and their binding of technology with souls of the damned and daemons forever bound within Daemon Engines. Vashtorr does not operate in the same way, as he does not deceive or manipulate, but instead seeks to innovate, modify and grow as people are pushed to ever more dangerous extremes of development. In that sense, Hashut and Vashtorr are just complimentary in that tyranny does not necessitate the harsh conditions of the forge, but in the grim darkness of the far future where technological innovation is dying, the two may overlap more than one would hope.
