'''Doomrider''' is a [[Daemon Prince]] of [[Slaanesh]]. ==History==Doomrider's origins are largely a mystery. It is known that he was once a [[Chaos Space Marine]], but anything beyond that is uncertain. According to some, he was once a member of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Legion]], and lead their debauches during the [[Battle of Terra]]. According to other sources, he was a traitor from a different [[Chapter]], who went renegade after the [[Great Scouring]].{{Fn|3}} Mounted on a Daemonically possessed [[bike]] adorned with deadly blades and spikes and wielding his cruel [[Daemon sword]], he carves a bloody swathe across the battlefield as he mercilessly hunts his prey. He can be summoned by [[Chaos Cultist]]s in foul rituals to aid the forces of Chaos in battle, however he is highly unpredictable in nature and seldom stays in the material universe for very long, often returning to the warp as suddenly as he appears.{{Fn|1}}
He has become a target of the [[White Scars]] [[Chapter]], who has sent numerous [[Master of the Hunt]]s after him. All have failed however to bring his head back to [[Chogoris]]; instead returning empty handed or having their own heads taken and mounted on his Daemonic bike. The latest Huntsman [[Kor'sarro Khan]] vowed to finally take the Daemoon's head and after evading Kor'sarro four previous times, Doomrider was tracked to the planet [[Shaka VI]]. The planet had been nearly overwhelmed by a [[Chaos Cult]] empowered by Doomrider, though this didn't matter to Kor'sarro who led his brethren against the Cult to reach the Daemon. Though Doomrider defeated Kor'sarro in battle, the hunt finally ended when Doomrider attempted to drag the White Scar through a portal back into the [[Warp]] with him. In a rage Kor'sarro wrapped his hands around Doomrider's neck and ripped his head off, closing the portal before they reached it. To Kor'sarro's surprise, Doomrider still lived and his head squirmed in his hands. Though Doomrider tried to speak, the Master of the Hunt crossed his jaw and returned to his fellow White Scars on the battlefield. With the hunt at an end they returned to Chogoris, taking the still living Doomrider with them.{{Fn|3}}
==Summoning ritual==
The [[Ordo Malleus]] has been able to translate part of the ritual used to summon Doomrider from the [[Immaterium]].{{Fn|2}}
