Chaos Champion

The Warriors Of Chaos, Chaos Space Marines, and various Chaos Cults of Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, and Warhammer 40000 all devote themselves to the Chaos Gods of the shared Warhammer universe. But some of these foolish mortals aren't just small batteries of emotions that empower the Four, some actually get something back.
The path of a mortal who wants to become something more than they are is fraught with challenges. Too much attention from the Chaos Gods too soon, or not enough willpower, and they become a Chaos Spawn (which has become quite a prolific Meme in the Warhammer community as a result). Too little, and you run the risk of being XP points for another Chaos aspirant. But those who do succeed become living supermen, able to roam wherever they want doing whatever they feel like (so long as their Chaos God approves, although its a self-fulfilling prophesy as the only ones likely to get blessings want to do their master's bidding anyway). Beyond Championhood lies becoming a Daemon Prince.
The process of becoming a Chaos Champion has been the subject of many games put out by Games Workshop over the years, primarily Path to Glory and Chaos in the Old World.
In the Blood Bowl universe, the role of Chaos Champions is far less difficult (arguably), and far less rewarding; they are simply the managers of Chaos-sponsored teams, and the star players.
Before Chaos Undivided was largely removed from the game, it was something of a hard mode for Chaos Champions. But in more modern Warhammer lore the role is reserved solely for an individual who has been blessed to lead all of Chaos in their shared goals: Archaon, Abaddon, and Be'lakor.
Skeletal Champions
Chaos Champions who are killed do not receive rest. Skeletal Champions are Undead Chaos Champions, damned to roam the world for one additional year plus a day. Their soul is consumed by their patron, save a small amount of their essence containing all their skills and just enough willpower to serve the wishes of their master as a puppet.
