Sagittar Slaith was a Chaos Cult commander active during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade.[1a]
Slaith was one of the most trusted lieutenants of the Chaos warlord Urlock Gaur, leading a division of Gaur's cult/army - the Blood Pact. Notably, he was given the responsibility of overseeing the Blood Pact's conquest and subjugation of the planet Phantine.[1a]
During the Imperial reconquest of Phantine, a team of Imperial Guardsmen of the Tanith First and Only and 81st Phantine Skyborne regiments infiltrated the city of Ouranberg ahead of the main strike force to assassinate Slaith, in a mission designated "Operation Larisel". The hope was that Slaith's death would throw the enemy into confusion and damage their morale.[1b]
During the mission, the Guardsmen were split into four teams, each making their own way into Ouranberg via grav-drop.[1b] Although the teams were discovered and a number of the operatives were killed, the overall mission was a success - Slaith was killed by a number of explosive tube charges rigged by Scout-Sergeant Oan Mkoll.[1c][1d] With Slaith's death, the Blood Pact defence of Ouranberg faltered and the Imperials were able to successfully retake the city and, from there, the rest of the planet.[1d]
