Bokor

Chaos Portal
Tzeentch

Bokor the Wildman is one of Tzeentch's most powerful Daemons.^{[1][Note 1]}

History

Bokor was described as turning whole species to the cause of Tzeentch.^[1]

Bokor was present at the Conclave of Thalassocress, a grand gathering of Tzeentch's most powerful daemons at the Daemon-World Thalassocress, presided over by Tzeentch himself. Bokor was one of those attendants who attracted Tzeentch's favour with their power and the might of their armies.^[1]

When investigating a series of cult-related murders on the Hive-World Anathema, Inquisitor Corvin Golrukhan heard of the name Bokor the Wildman. He found out that it is the name of a Daemon, though nothing further.^[2]

Later in his career, Inquisitor Golrukhan landed on the Daemon-World Malodrax and explored it in disguise. At one point, he asked for passage into the city of Shalhadar, a champion of Slaanesh. The daemonic guard at the city-gate demanded to know: "Who is your god?" Golrukhan answered: "Bokor the Wildman." Golrukhan did not even know whether this was a good answer, but the guard was satisfied.^[2]

Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

Etymology

• The Wildman is a motif from european medieval and Renaissance art. The Wildman is generally depicted as a (semi-)naked male barbarian with strong body-hair, in a nature-setting with trees, bushes, wild animals and so forth. The Wildman represents the antithesis to civilization: He represents barbarity, the disorder of untamed nature, lack of law & order, lack of high morals and good manners, lack of rational thought, e.t.c.

Depending on the context, the depiction of the Wildman is either positive or negative:

• In some artwork, the Wildman represents an obstacle or foe, overcome and bested by the pious and virtuous protagonists.
• In some artwork, the Wildman represents a romantic desire to leave society and their laws behind and to live free of them in the wilderness.source

Notes

• Note 1: Bokor is possibly a Lord of Change or Daemon Prince - the sources are not clear on this.^[1]
