Mor Jalchek
Mor Jalchek is a Word Bearers Dark Apostle who commands the Weeping Veil Chapter[1a] and the Styx Heavy Cruiser Ayamandar.[1b]
Overview
He led the Chapter in the Thirteenth Black Crusade and they were a part of The Despoiler's fleet that attacked the Forge World Agripinaa. This ended when the Great Rift was created though, for it was after the giant Warp Storm's creation that the Chaos Gods charged Mor with conquering the White Consuls' homeworld of Sabatine and the Weeping Veil soon departed from the Cadian Gate to complete their holy task. However, due to the effects of The Blackness, the Weeping Veil were unable to locate Sabatine's exact location, no matter what sorcery or instruments they used.[1a]
Their salvation came when the Lords of Silence Warband approached the Ayamandar aboard the Solace. The Lords of Silence also sought to attack Sabatine and their Chaos Lord, Vorx, offered to lead the Weeping Veil to the world, if the Chapter agreed to combine their forces for the invasion.[1a] After some consideration Mor agreed[1c], though the Dark Apostle planned on betraying the Lords of Silence once Sabatine was conquered.[1a]
With their two forces, the Weeping Veil and the Lords of Silence easily overwhelmed the garrison force that the White Consuls had left to defend Sabatine. But disaster struck the Weeping Veil when they moved to betray the Lords of Silence by sacrificing a large group of Sabatine's captured population in a ritual that would allow the Daemonic forces of three loyal Greater Daemons to materialize on the world. Vorx had been prepared for the Chapter's betrayal since their agreement, and had ordered his Warband to poison Sabatine's population during the invasion, which turned them into Plague Zombies. This prevented the Weeping Veil's ritual from succeeding[1d] and soon the Lords of Silence and their new army of Plague Zombies began to overwhelm the Chapter. Mor was quickly forced to lead a retreat back to the Ayamandar, which then escaped from Sabatine's System.[1e]
