Biography
Neroth is a Chaos Sorcerer, wielding the power of the Warp to summon daemons and unleash destructive psychic attacks. He is characterised by a sadistic glee in violence and destruction, showing more interest in carnage than subtle manipulation. Despite technically following Eliphas’ orders during the campaign, it was made clear that Neroth did so only because it aligned with Abaddon's current will.[1]
His role was primarily that of an enforcer, constantly reminding Eliphas of the consequences of failure. He revels in the madness and destruction wrought by the forces of Chaos.[1]
