'''Rotigus, the Generous One,''' is a powerful [[Great Unclean One]] of [[Nurgle]]{{Fn|1}}, who is also known as '''Rotigus Rainfather''' and '''the Rainfather'''.{{Fn|7a}} He was second in Nurgle's favor favour until after the [[Plague Wars]], when Rotigus was elevated over [[Ku'gath]].{{Fn|7d}}
===Overview===
Sometime later, the [[Greater Daemon]] was summoned by the [[Death Guard]] during the [[Siege of Nebbus]], and the filth and madness he wrought ultimately claimed the world for [[Nurgle]].{{Fn|3}} During his rampage across the [[Eastern Fringe]], Rotigus infected many [[Maiden World]]s and thus incurred the wrath of the [[Harlequin]] [[Masque of the Frozen Stars]]. The Masque managed to perform a ritualistic dance that caused cleansing rains to purge the world of Rotigus' pestilence.{{Fn|4}} Rotigus later was summoned to [[Vigilus]] by [[Chaos]] Forces during the [[War of Beasts]].{{Fn|5}}
During the [[Plague Wars]] Rotigus would inform [[Ku'gath]] that Nurgle himself had ordered his return to the [[Scourge Stars]] in order to wage the [[War in the Rift]], and seemed delighted to hear that the most favored favoured of the Plaguegod would refuse.{{Fn|7b}} The rainmaker would meanwhile weave his own plans in Ultramar, appearing in the [[Library of Ptolemy]] on [[Macragge]] to tempt [[Fabian Guelphrain]] into reading a tome which contained the history of [[Imperium Secundus]]. He engaged in a brief battle with Tigurius before withdrawing.{{Fn|7c}} Afterwards Rotigus appeared before the shattered remains of Ku'gath inside the Warp to gloat that his compatriot had earned the Plague God's ire, and that he was now highest in Nurgle's favorfavour. Moreover, Rotigus was confident that his plan with Fabian would cause the Imperium to rot from within.{{Fn|7d}}
