'''Periclitor the Foresworn''' was a [[Chaos Lord]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion{{Fn|2}} 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>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
Once the [[Braun IV]] Tithe Wars - as this conflict was known - were touched off, Periclitor was elevated to Daemonhood in 187.[[M39]].{{Fn|1}}
