Daivech Thrax
Daivech Thrax is a Khorne Chaos Lord of the Black Legion Traitor Legion. He serves the Prophet and is the second in command of the Sorcerer Lord's warband.[1a]
History
In M42, the Prophet led his warband in an ambush on an Indomitus Crusade Fleet. With the fleet caught by surprise and surrounded, its Space Marine Commander ordered his warships to enter the Warp. While the Indomitus Fleet succeeded in doing so, the Prophet tracked them within the Warp and launched an attack on the Commander's Battle Barge flagship. While Thrax led the Sorcerer Lord's forces against the Imperials, the Prophet began summoning Daemons within the Battle Barge. The Daemons materialized throughout the flagship and once he was done, the Sorcerer Lord ordered Thrax and his warband to withdraw. Shortly afterwards, the Daemons caused catastrophic damage to the Battle Barge and the Commander enacted an emergency exit from the Warp.[1a]
With the Indomitus Crusade Fleet dealt with, the Prophet began an invasion of an Imperium Nihilus Sector.[1b][1c] The Sorcerer Lord sought to conduct a massive Chaos ritual there,[1f] which would pull the entire Sector into the Warp.[1d] However, the Commander's fleet survived their emergency exit and found themselves scattered across the very same Sector the Prophet was attacking.[1b][1c] This led the Commander to lead his forces against the Sorcerer Lord's warband in order to save the Sector's worlds.[1c] The Prophet continued his quest to claim the Sector despite this, which culminated in him creating a Chaos ritual which drew in Warp energy into the Space Station Fort Obsidian.[1f] The Commander learned of the Sorcerer Lord's plans though and and attempted to stop him. However, Thrax barred the Imperials way and was so powerful, that the Commander had to unleash an orbital bombardment from his warships to defeat the Chaos Lord. With the Commander convinced that Thrax was dead,[1e] his forces went on to defeat the Prophet and put an end to the Sorcerer Lord's ritual. The Imperials would have then killed the Prophet, had Thrax not miraculously appeared and saved his master. The two then fled and escaped from the Imperials.[1g]
But, while the Prophet had been unable to claim the Sector, he was not yet done with it. Instead, the Sorcerer Lord now desired to destroy the Commander once and for all. To do so, the Prophet sought to unleash the Khorne Daemon Prince Halphas, who had been imprisoned on one of the Sector's Imperial worlds.[1i] The Prophet then started a rebellion on the world[1h] and began a Chaos ritual to free Halphas.[1i] The Commander meanwhile, had been in constant pursuit of the Sorcerer Lord,[1h] since his escape from Fort Obsidian,[1g] and the Imperials put an end to the Prophet's rebellion after arriving on the world.[1h] However the Sorcerer Lord broke the seal, shortly after the Imperials found him. With that, Halphas materialized into Realspace and this created a Warp Storm around the world.[1i]
But despite the Daemon Prince's strength, the Imperials defeated Halphas. The Commander then fought the Prophet and once again defeated the Sorcerer Lord and Thrax.[1j]
