[[Image:Chaos sorcerer by adrian smith.JPG|thumb|right|190px|A Sorcerer of [[Tzeentch]]]]'''Chaos Sorcerers''' are [[Librarians]] who chose to follow Chaos, the first emerging from the sorcerers of the [[Thousand Sons]] before and during the [[Horus Heresy]]. Some of these Sorcerers were exiled after the [[Rubric of Ahriman]] was cast and they sell their services for sacrifices or the chance to hunt down arcane lore. Only the [[World Eaters]] destroyed their Sorcerers, [[Khorne ]] having no interest in sorcery. If a Librarian overreaches himself and draws on too much psychic energy he may be granted visions of immortality and whispered promises of power.
Most Sorcerers are granted gifts by their [[Gods of Chaos|god]], which further enhances their psychic powers. They are also often selfish madmen, believing themselves superior to all others and on a mighty quest for power and knowledge to increase their mental fortitude and develop new ways of using their powers. Often the visions given to Sorcerers are unattainable, subsequently driving them to extremes in their desire to achieve these goals.
