Lothar Bubonicus as a mortal Champion of Nurgle

Lothar (now known as Bubonicus and the daemonic name Ghur'urgh bu'yue)^[1a] was a mortal Champion of Nurgle, born on a backwards planet which remains cut off from the Imperium by warp storms.^[1b]

Raised to daemonhood, he now rules a daemon world within the Eye of Terror, also named Bubonicus.^[1b][2]

During the Horus Heresy, Bubonicus was one of many daemons summoned by Erebus, First Chaplain of the Word Bearers, by a dark ritual conducted during the Battle of Calth, presumably as a prelude to Horus's attack on the Imperial Palace during the Battle of Terra.^[3]

Warhammer World within the 40K Galaxy

In Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned Bubonicus is shown in the Warhammer Fantasy section as an example of the rules for Chaos Champion's gifts and warbands. It ends with Lothar becoming the Daemon Prince Ghur'urgh bu'yue known as Bubonicus.^[1a]

Bubonicus is then mentioned again within the 40K section "Another world has boiling lakes of blood from which spheres of fire float into the sky and spread their light across the firmament - the rule of this world is the Daemon Prince Bubonicus, formely a mortal Champion of Nurgle on one of the myriad lost worlds in the galaxy" ^[1b]. This exact line is repeated in Codex: Chaos (2nd Edition)^[2]

Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned specifically mentions "The Warhammer World is bound by storms of magic so that it remains isolated from the other worlds of the human galaxy".^[1c]
