The Eater of Lives is a gestalt-daemon of Nurgle that is allied with the Death Guard and commands its 4th Plague Company.^[1a] While serving the Death Guard his Plague Company has conquered the Imperium Shrine World Calendhula^[1b] and is now invading several Systems in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation.^[1c]

Notes

Ignatius Grulgor, a Battle-Captain of the Death Guard during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, eventually became a Daemon and Daemon Prince^[3] dubbed the Eater of Lives.^[2] This makes Grulgor's identity as the Eater of Lives possible, but it is still unconfirmed.
