[[Image:Ku'Gath.jpg|thumb|right|Ku'Gath the Plaguefather]]Ku'Gath was once a [[Nurgling]] sitting upon the shoulder of Nurgle. Whilst Nurgle was mixing his most virulent toxin ever, Ku'Gath tumbled from his nesting place into the cauldron, where he took a great draught of the filthy contents and swelled with its power. Invigorated, Ku'Gath drank and drank until the cauldron was nearly empty and he had grown into a [[Great Unclean One]]. Nurgle laughed at the antics of his Nurgling, who had become the embodiment of the perfect disease that had been bubbling within the cauldron. Ku'Gath, however, realised that he had robbed his father of the greatest disease ever concocted; and has since been wandering the universe, searching for the perfect ingredients to recreate the toxin for Nurgle. He also captures those whom his diseases corrupt and take them back to his lair, where he can observe their degeneration more closely.{{Cite This}}

During the [[Gheistos]] Cataclysm in [[M41]], Ku'Gath is known to have led the [[Daemon]]ic forces who besieged the [[Planetary Governor]]'s Fortress.^{{Fn|1}}

In 927.[[M41]], Ku'Gath was summoned on the [[Agri-World]] of [[Curwen]] at the head of the Daemonic Legion. A [[Grey Knights]] strike force arrived, and [[Justicar]] [[Anval Thawn]] led a force into the very heart of the Daemonic horde to avoid encirclement. Ku'Gath swallowed the [[Purifier]] whole, but Thawn detonated his weapon inside the Daemon's throat and burst from its body. Ku'Gath was slain and banished back to the [[Warp]].{{Fn|2}}

Unlike his fellow [[Great Unclean One]]s, Ku'Gath is a sombre creature. He is also studious and observant, all the better to create the perfect disease.{{Cite This}}

Ku'Gath rides atop a palanquin carried by straining Nurglings, and loaded with the paraphernalia of his mobile laboratory. In battle, Ku'Gath uses the opportunity to conduct his field tests, unleashing clouds of spores and bacteria that could wipe out whole armies. The [[Nurglings]] that grow from Ku'Gath each carry a unique blend of the elements that had created him, and can be hurled at his enemies to produce various different infections. {{Cite This}}
