[[Image:Cherubael.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Cherubael]]
'''Cherubael''' was once a Daemon Prince, worshiped as a god on the feral world of Clanar II. When Inquisitor [[Quixos]] freed the Clanars from Cherubael's domination, he managed to enslave the creature into the body of one of their warriors. Years later, one of Cherubael's cults sprung up on [[Cadia]]. Called "Sons of Bael," the cult was basically a front for the study of the [[Pylon]]s on the planet, which Quixos intended to reproduce in a perverted effort to fight [[Chaos]]. Cherubael served Quixos for many decades, until finally Quixos himself was slain by Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn in combat. Cherubael had first encountered Inquisitor Eisenhorn while assisting a radical inquisitor in securing the [[Necroteuch]]. He engineered his freedom through the manipulation of events surrounding Inquisitor [[Eisenhorn]], making sure that Eisenhorn was in the right place at the right time, with the right weapon, to banish Cherubael back to the Warp and release him from the bonds Quixos had used to enslave him. However, Eisenhorn later ensnared the daemon in a [[daemonhost]] of his own. Later on, a desperate Eisenhorn called upon Cherubael to stop a rampaging Chaos Titan. The daemon destroyed it, but was bound within the body of a young inquisitor who had been the only witness to Eisenhorn's dark deed. While Eisenhorn was reluctant to walk the path of the [[Inquisition|Radical]], he used a more controlled form of the daemon, bound by the arcane literature of the [[Malus Codicium]], to defeat [[Pontius Glaw]].
