Hand of Mourning
The Hand of Mourning is a Dreadblade Knight, who along with the Dreadblade Bale Star, were once Imperial Freeblade Knights. However, their downfall began when they fought to defend Nemendghast from an invasion by the Black Legion forces of Vorash Soulflayer.[1]
Despite their efforts, the Imperial world was conquered and the two Freeblades were captured and brought before Soulflayer. The Master of Possession then subjugated the Freeblades to horrific Chaos rituals, that they endured for a year before finally being broken; each then swore fealty to Soulflayer. Now reborn as Hand of Mourning and Bale Star, the Master of Possession then gave his loyal Dreadblades quests to increase his power. Hand of Mourning was dispatched with the true name of an ancient Daemon Prince and told to bring the creature back to Soulflayer, one way or another.[1]
