The engraving read, '''"Step forward into the Vaults of Wishes and become as a God"''' and the Reaver reading it said he liked the sound of that. When he asked what Maless thought though, he immediately killed him and the other Reavers, while declaring that if anyone became a god, it would be him. After his former companions were dead, Maless entered the Vaults of Wishes whose doors had opened and were emitting a bright light. However once he entered the Vaults, the light immediately engulfed him in pain. As he screamed, a [[Daemon]] began speaking into his head and told Maless that it had just [[possessed]] him. After being imprisoned for eons, Maless had freed it and the Daemon would now pour its power into him, so the Reaver could act as its vessel of vengeance.

However, after the Daemon had finished speaking, Maless simply replied that he was looking forward to the mayhem it would unleash.

Maless Darkblade is a Drukhari Reaver in the Kabal of the Dark Blade, who was possessed by a powerful Daemon – together the two seek to commit cruelties undreamed of.[1]

History

Maales Darkblade opens the Vault of Wishes[1]

Maless Darkblade was a Reaver pilot in the Kabal of the Dark Blade, riding his "noble steed" Spite into the summertime raid of the notorious Chaos city Skurminal following rumours whispered from the Crucibles of great treasures. Pleased with their take, the Dark Blade Lord ordered retreat, but dissatisfied for their lack of treasure Maless and his group of Reavers pressed on refusing to leave the city until he found great treasure.

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 himself, Maless betrayed the fellow reavers, mercilessly killing them before opening the Vault of Wishes alone – stepping into their bright light, and immediately becoming engulfed in pain as a Daemon took Possession of his body and informed him of his new destiny: through him the Daemon would walk the stars anew and channel its abomniable power to commit cruelties undreamed of.

What surprised the Daemon was the delight of Maless Darkblade, who was unnervingly excited for his 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.[1]

Trivia

Warhammer Monthly 63 included stories of its Warhammer Fantasy charcters in Warhammer 40,000 settings (and vice versa) including "Maless Darkblade", a Warhammer 40,000 inversion of Dark Elf Cold One Knight Malus Darkblade with his Cold One Spite.[1]
