'''Araghast the Pillager''' was the [[Chaos Lord]] leading the [[Black Legion]] invading [[Subsector Aurelia]] in ''[[Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising]]'', alongside the former [[Dark Apostle]] [[Eliphas]] (from ''[[Dawn of War - Dark Crusade]]'', who has been resurrected as an [[Aspiring Champion]] and second-in-command.
==Biography==
Araghast was a bloodthirsty, brutal warrior, who possessed strenght of tremendous fighting skill, even for a [[Space Marine]], and was feared far and wide for pillaging a thousand worlds and his terrible savagery among the [[Imperium]] and the greatest warriors of the [[Black Legion]] alike. He was a Champion of [[Khorne]], But it is important to note that he was not exclusively devoted to [[Khorne]] as he made extensive usage of [[sorcerers]] and he relied on sorcery in battles himself.
As seen in ''[[Chaos Rising]]'', Araghast challenged his opponents and ridicules them into submission to accept his challenge, which especially affected [[Avitus]], as his disdain of Araghast almost turned into his only concern during the war with the [[Black Legion]].
Araghast to the [[Blood Ravens]]: '''''[[Blood Ravens]], hear me! I am Araghast The Pillager! Master of Hounds, the Lash of the [[Black Legion]]! You, and ALL your kind are cowards! Lowly lickspittles! You must be emulating that pile of bones you call an [[Emperor]]! You are as dead and as useless as him! I am destroying your worlds, [[Blood Ravens]], yet you do nothing! I see your precious craft, hanging in orbit above [[Aurelia]]! I am here! FACE ME, IF YOU DARE!'''''
==Equipment==
Araghast was wearing a foul suit of [[Terminator Armour]], decorated with [[trophy racks]], a terrifying banner made of the face of a [[Space Marine]] [[Commander]], a cape made of humanoid faces sewn crudely to its shape, and was first seen armed with a [[Power Sword]] and a [[Combi-Flamer]]. But when the enemy was stronger than he thought, he replaced the [[Power Sword]] and [[Combi-Flamer]] with a pair of lethal [[Lightning Claws]].
As Araghast was not completely dedicated to Khorne, he had some [[psychic powers]] at disposal to cover up his lack of ranged attack when wielding the [[Lightning Claws]]. The powers he had been seen using were projecting balls of dreadful fire from [the Warp], creating a line of razor-sharp rocks that sprout from the ground in front of him with violent speed that crush and cut flesh and heavy armor like [[Terminator Armour]] with ease. His last [[psychic power]] is more used when fighting more powerful foes, this power is targeted at the weaker servants of [[Chaos]] willingly to die in their superiors and gods' names, as Araghast drained the life force of the [[cultist]] to heal himself untill it exploded into a gory mess of flesh and bones and drained another if necessary.
==Chaos Rising==
The [[Black Legion]] warband invading the sector were lead by Araghast the Pillager and his second-in-command [[Eliphas]] the Inheritor, who had been resurrected and now served as an [[Aspiring Champion]] of the [[Black Legion]] (he was once known as the [[Dark Apostle leading the [[Word Bearers]] in [[Kronus]] during ''[[Dark Crusade]]''). Later in ''[[Chaos Rising]]'', Araghast challenges the [[Blood Ravens]] to fighting him on Aurelia, and the [[Blood Ravens]] head for the frozen planet to confront Araghast. As they met with the [Chaos Lord] on Aurelia, he told the [[Blood Ravens]] that they should pass his "tests" in order to face him. These "tests" were the minions of the Pillager, which the Imperial forces wiped out with ease, and they finally encounter him. Even possessing [[psychic powers]], he didn't stand a chance against the [[Blood Ravens]]. As [[Eliphas]] was responsible of opening portals for Araghast when he got severly wounded, but as the situation for Araghast looked very bad, [[Eliphas]] refused to help his superior, becoming the new leader of the [[Black Legion]] warband on the Subsector. As Araghast heard [[Eliphas]}' words, his last words were "[[Eliphas]]... You treasonous dog! NO!" and was easily killed by the [[Blood Ravens]].
