→The siege of Vraks
Lord Zhufor led his Skulltakers during the siege of [[Vraks]], aiding the [[Vraksian Renegade Militia]] and the forces of Chaos. His presence on the planet was part of Abaddon's long-term plan to disrupt the defences on worlds around the [[Eye of Terror]].<sup>2c</sup>
He fought alongside the other Chaos forces on the planet and led his men to the front, rather than committing himself to a war of attrition. When the [[Imperium|Imperial]] forces began to reclaim ground, Zhufor sought to take control of the war himself.<sup>2c</sup> He challenged and killed the Lord of the [[Berzerkers Berserkers of Skallathrax]] in a duel and absorbed the warband into his own. Then, he made a pact with the master [[daemonancer]]s of [[the Sanctified]]. He would provide them with the means to summon the mighty [[Bloodthirster]] [[An'ggrath]] in return for their support. Having secured the aid of the [[Chaos Space Marine]]s of Khorne, he turned his attention to the other Chaos forces. Zhufor's men attacked the [[Black Brethren of Eyreas]] and killed their Lord and Champions in a demonstration of power towards the other warbands and disposed of renegade-[[cardinal]] [[Xaphan]] as the symbolic leader of the [[Vraksian Renegade Militia]] in a bloody coup.<sup>2a</sup>
When the war had turned in favour of the Imperium, Zhufor and his warband fled the planet through the [[Vraks portal]], which had been opened by the Sanctified.<sup>2c</sup>
