Kholoth
Kholoth the Excoriator is a Daemon Prince, who blighted the Imperial Agri World Loressa for sometime.[1]
During its invasion of the world, Kholoth killed the population of one of Loressa's villages, save for a six year old boy named Tyrus, who the Daemon began torturing and mutilating. The Daemon Prince's sport with Tyrus was stopped, though, by the appearance of the Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Covonis, who banished Kholoth back to the Warp. Sometime later, the Daemon Prince possessed the monarchy of the Imperial world Epsilon Regalis, which led it to cross paths with Covonis and Tyrus once again. By that time, the Inquisitor had taken the young child as an apprentice and a reading of the Emperor's Tarot, had drawn them to Epsilon Regalis. This led Covonis to test the purity of the world's monarchy with the Trial by Holy Seal, which revealed they were under the control of a Daemon. The Inquisitor and Tyrus had no idea, however, that the Daemon Prince was behind the possession and when Covonis freed the monarchy from its control, Kholoth was able to enter Realspace. Once freed from the Warp, the Daemon Prince killed Covonis, but it was then defeated by Tyrus, using the Inquisitor's Force Sword.[1]
