'''Nadzybar''' was [[Archon]] of the Archenemy forces in the [[Sabbat Worlds]] from beginning around 634.[[M41]], and may have been the warlord to first rally the [[Ruinous Powers]] in the taking of the region in the first centuries of [[M41]]. Little is known of this creature's origins and background, nor how he came to power over the other Magisters.
Though he was certainly the driving force behind the defence of the [[Chaos|Archenemy of Mankind]] against the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], his Magisters overshadowed him in cunning and cruelty both. Nonetheless , his legacy has been found across hundreds of worlds in inscriptions and the megalithic earthworks raised to his honour.
Nadzybar's defeat was achieved by a combination of the military might of the [[Imperium]], the bravery of many men, and the strategic cunning of [[Warmaster]] [[Slaydo]]. The Archon wanted badly to draw the Warmaster into assaulting his entire main army on the planet of Fabia, where he believed he could crush the force of the Crusade utterly. Slaydo realised this, and capitalising on the fact that their communications had been penetrated by Nadzybar's spies, spread the idea that he had fallen for it, using deepcoding to ensure that his army did not actually approach Fabia. The Archon, eager to destroy his enemy forever, rushed to meet Slaydo there, and while refueling and rearming on the planet Balhaut, was ambushed to brutal effect.
