{{WordBearersPortal}}'''Periclitor the Foresworn''' was a [[Chaos Lord]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion<sup>{{Fn|2</sup> }} who began his long quest to [[Daemon Prince|Daemonhood]] in 832.[[M33 ]] with the [[Castile V ]] massacre. Among his later triumphs were the martyrdom of [[Saint Jerome ]] (called Jerome the Pure by the Imperium, and Jerome the Fool or Jerome the Blind by Periclitor's forces), the last stand of the [[Terran Praefects|Terran 5th Armored Praefects]], the battle against the [[Grey Knights ]] in the [[Sentry Vault]], the ambush and slaughter of the [[Howling Griffons]]' [[Chapter Master ]] and [[First Company ]] on the eve of the 5000th anniversary of their founding, and the murder of the [[Cardinal ]] of [[Bray]]. The last incident touched off a series of attacks by Periclitor's forces that eventually caused the entire [[Trans-Kurani ]] subsector to erupt in civil war over the issue of taxation for defence of the subsector.<sup>1</sup>
Once the [[Braun IV ]] Tithe Wars - as this conflict was known - was were touched off, Periclitor was elevated to Daemonhood in 187.[[M39]].<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
