|
| In [[Warhammer 40,000]] and [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], people fall to [[Chaos]] for many reasons. Of these, the ones who desire power, sometimes called Chaos Champions, are most ambitious, and thus most likely to catch the attention of the [[Ruinous Powers]].
| |
|
| |
| Those who succeed in bringing glory to [[Chaos]] are rewarded with Daemon Princedom. They are granted a daemonic form and name, given power beyond any mortal, heretical or otherwise, and often placed at the command of an army, or a Daemon World.
| |
|
| |
| Those who fail, or don't succeed fast enough, or who find themselves on the wrong end of a Chaos God on a bad day, or just don't bring ''enough'' glory fast enough, are "rewarded" with [[Chaos spawn | Chaos Spawn...OH SHI-dejrqeqemrwkqerwjrkewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]].
| |
|
| |
| In the [[Fantasy Flight Games]] WH40KRPG [[Black Crusade]], this is what happens to a [[player character]] who reaches 100 Corruption with 100 Infamy. Should a PC reach 100 Corruption with less, he will be transformed into a [[Chaos spawn |Chaos Spaa...]] ha caught myself on that one, don't want to end up like my previous writer!

| |
| == Famous Daemon Princes ==
| |
|
| |
| * [[Doombreed]], the first Daemon Prince of [[Khorne]].
| |
| * Kraxnar, his bro in the original counter-based game "Warmaster" who was later replaced with some asshole called [[N'Kari]].
| |
| * Some asshole called N'Kari... maybe. Nowadays he's apparently a [[Greater Daemon]].
| |
| * [[Lorgar]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Word Bearers]].
| |
| * [[Perturabo]], Primarch of the [[Iron Warriors]]
| |
| * [[Mortarion]], Primarch of the [[Death Guard]].
| |
| * [[Angron]], Primarch of the [[World Eaters]].
| |
| * [[Magnus the Red]], Primarch of the [[Thousand Sons]].
| |
| * [[Fulgrim]], Primarch of the [[Emperor's Children]], except it's actually just his body possessed by a Daemon. Or maybe not. Shit's weird at this point.
| |
| * [[Sindri Myr]], though it wasn't long before [[Gabriel Angelos]] banished him; seeing as Daemons are functionally immortal, it won't be long till he's back.
| |
| * [[Azariah Kyras]], heretical [[Chapter Master]] and Chief [[Librarian]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] and, apparently, [[C.S.Goto|Khornate Sorcerer]]. He still gets banished in [[Dawn of War II|DoW II: Retribution]], but, again, Daemons are functionally immortal, so he'll be back eventually.
| |
| * [[Nemeroth]], who got it even worse than Sindri: he was killed DURING his ascension rather than immediately afterward, which means he might not be back.
| |
| * [[M'kar]], some loser from the [[Word Bearers]] whose only purpose for appearing in any fluff is get to his ass handed to him by the [[Space Marines]]. Ironically, he's taken more seriously in Grey Knights.
| |
| * [[Eliphas the Inheritor]] as of Dawn of War II: Retribution. Of course, Eliphas is so badass that becoming a Daemon Prince is a ''demotion'' for him.
| |
| ** By which we mean, the Daemon Prince upgrade sucks, so you should never take it.
| |
| * [[Be'lakor]], the very first Daemon Prince who was such a badass in life that Princehood was a ''demot''-- wait, we just made that joke, didn't we? Shit. Well, anyway, he led the hordes of [[Chaos]] at the dawn of time, but then he became an arrogant bitch, so [[Tzeentch]] cursed him to Princehood and made him the Harbinger, who would crown the Everchosen of Chaos. In 40k, he was also the first Daemon Prince, as well as the first, last, and only Daemon Prince elevated by the joint action of all four Chaos Gods. He was greatly involved in [[Abaddon]]'s rise to power, although it's likely he plans to betray the Warmaster at some point in time (something Abaddon is fully prepared for.) Quite notably, Be'lakor has shown a strong tendency to undermine the plans and ambitions of other Chaos Champions; although he himself believes this to be a product of his own free will and the desire to prove his own superiority over his potential rivals, it is in fact the result of all four Chaos Gods using him as a pawn to strike at one another.
