Maless Darkblade is a Drukhari Reaver of the Kabal of the Dark Blade, who was possessed by a powerful Daemon – together the two seek to commit cruelties undreamed of.[2]
History
Maless Darkblade was a Reaver pilot of the Kabal of the Dark Blade,[2] riding her "noble steed" Spite[1][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 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.[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 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.[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.[2]
