Arkrist Vane
Arkrist Vane is a Word Bearers Dark Apostle, who took part in the 13th Black Crusade. In the aftermath of Cadia's destruction, Abaddon the Despoiler was consumed by his own vendettas and left the conquering of the Segmentum Obscurus to his lieutenants. Unfortunately they are not up to the task and the Imperium begins to regroup and regain control of the Segmentum. In order to prevent that from happening, Vane convinced the Word Bearers Chaos Lord Malos Vrykan to be a harbinger of the Chaos Gods and to begin a glorious campaign of conquest against the worlds of the Segmentum Obscurus. In doing so, the Dark Apostle promises that not only will Chaos Lord's actions please the Ruinous Powers, but Malos will also ascend to become Abaaddon's most depended upon lieutenant. After he agrees, Vane becomes the Chaos Lord's adviser on the campaign, to ensure he gains the favour of the Chaos Gods, and the Dark Apostle begins to guide Malos to his destiny of glory.[1]
