==Biography==
===The Dark Crusade===Eliphas was known to be already present on [[Kronus]] during the events of [[Horus Heresy]] , where he participated in a battle against the [[Ultramarines]] on [[Kronus]] where during that time he was as a young champion, he . He presumably retreated to the [[Eye of Terror]] along with the rest of the Word Bearers when [[Horus]] was defeated. Eliphas came to Kronus to turn the planet into a [[Daemon World]]. He begun his conquest from the Demon Gate situated in the Demios Peninsula on the tropical south coast of Kronus. He is armed with an [[Accursed Crozius]] and over the course of the conflict, can gain new equipment to enhance his powers, such as Daemonic Armour and the same helm worn by the Word Bearers [[Primarch]] [[Lorgar]] 10000 years previously during the [[Horus Heresy]]. Of all the powers on Kronus, barring the [[Blood Ravens]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] he despises the [[Necron]]s most as they have no souls to be devoured by his [[Chaos|gods]]. Later, during the opening phases of the Dark Crusade, Eliphas and the Word Bearers were summoned back to Kronus by a Chaos cult at the Third Temple of Black Succession in the far south of the Deimos Peninsula. This cabal had turned to Chaos in light of their experiences with the recent rise of the Necrons on Kronus, and Eliphas had answered. Using the knowledge gained from The [[Book of the Epistles of Lorgar]], their leader [[Virgilius]] planned to bring Eliphas to Kronus. On the eighth night of their visit to the Temple, Virgilius led them to the great chamber at the temple's heart, where he and eight of his cultists were sacrificed on an icon of Chaos. The Warp opened between the points of the eight-pointed star and Eliphas stepped forth, heralding the beginning of the Ninth Inheritance. Eliphas would go on to lead the Word Bearers against the other six factions all vying for supremacy on Kronus.
Throughout the [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]], Eliphas is given ample of opportunities to gain favor with the four [[Chaos Gods]] and other Chaos figures through the defeat of his enemies.
