'''Maless Darkblade''' is a [[Drukhari]] [[Reaver Jetbike|Reaver]] of the [[Kabal of the Dark Blade]], who was [[Daemonic Possession|possessed]] by a powerful [[Daemon]] – together the two seek to commit cruelties undreamed of.{{Fn|2}}

==History==
[[File:VaultOfWishes.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Maales Darkblade opens the [[Vault of Wishes]]{{Fn|2}}]]
'''Maless Darkblade''' was a [[Reaver Jetbike|Reaver]] pilot of the [[Kabal of the Dark Blade]],{{Fn|2}} riding her "noble steed" '''Spite'''{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} into the summertime raid of the notorious [[Chaos]] city [[Skurminal]] following rumours whispered from the '''Crucibles''' of great treasures. Pleased with their take, the [[Archon|Lord]] of the Kabal ordered a retreat but, dissatisfied with their lack of treasure, Maless and her group of Reavers pressed on, refusing to leave the city until he found great treasure.{{Fn|2}} 

Crashing through the rosette windows of a [[Chaos]] temple, the group found the [[Vault of Wishes]], a door behind which Maless sensed great power. A fellow reaver stepped forward and read the inscription: '''"Step forward into the Vaults of Wishes and become as a God"'''. Wanting this godlike power for herself, Maless betrayed the fellow reavers, mercilessly killing them before opening the Vault alone – stepping into their bright light, and immediately becoming engulfed in pain as a [[Daemon]] took [[Daemonic Possession|Possession]] of her body and informed the reaver of her new destiny: through Maless the Daemon would walk the stars anew and channel its abominable power to commit cruelties undreamed of.{{Fn|2}}

What surprised the Daemon was the delight of Maless Darkblade, who was unnervingly excited for her new lot in life. As Maless mounted ''Spite'', the Daemon then attempted to assert control of the body as Maless simply told it to "shut up" as together they rode off into Skurminal's sky.{{Fn|2}}
