'''Anakwanar Sek''' was one of the [[Chaos]] warlords encountered during the famed [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]].{{Fn|1}} He held the title of "Anarch", and was the founder as well as chief commander of the highly disciplined [[Sons of Sek]].{{Fn|5}}
== History ==
Eventually, however, Sek grew tired of his subordinate role and began building a new army in secret. It was on the [[Agri World]] [[Gereon]] that Sek began the training of the [[Sons of Sek]], an army that, like the Blood Pact, was trained, organized, and equipped to the same degree as the [[Imperial Guard]], but loyal only to Sek.{{Fn|2}} Word of this reached the Crusade force, and some [[Imperial Tactician]]s speculated that the Crusade might help itself by provoking a civil war between the Gaur and Sek, although the last thing the Imperial forces wanted was for Sek to emerge victorious as the new Archon.{{Fn|3x}}
After the Imperial raid on [[Salvation's Reach (stronghold)|Salvation's Reach]], Sek became in a two-front war, battling both the Imperium as well as his rival Gaur. He ordered his officers to set up recruitment.{{Fn|5}} Ultimately, however, Anakwanar Sek was killed on [[Urdesh]] in 794.[[M41]];{{Fn|6}} the psychic shockwave of his demise drove many of his followers instantly insane or outright killed them on and around Urdesh.{{Fn|5}} Some surviving Sons of Sek attempted to restore the voice through Warp rituals; most failed. In one ritual, however, [[Damogaur]] [[Gerik]] realized that Sek's ambition and scheming had been his ultimate undoing, and that his successor had to be truly empty and just follow the orders of higher powers - thus he became the new vessel of the voice, mutating into Sek's image yet completely different in his vision for the future.{{Fn|6}}
