'''Anakwanar Sek''' is was one of the [[Chaos]] warlords encountered during the famed [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. His followers address him as the Anarch, ''"whose voice drowns out all others."'' {{Fn|21}}

When Archon [[Nadzybar]] fell on [[Balhaut]] in 765.[[M41]], bloody fights for overall command of the remaining Chaos forces began. EventuallyIntelligence reports reaching the Imperial forces indicated that Sek was the favored candidate to succeed Nadzybar{{Fn|3x}}, but eventually [[Urlock Gaur]] would win the upper hand, despite being neither a genius nor a charismatic leader. Gaur had what all other contenders did not: the [[Blood Pact]], a disciplined and experienced land army. Other , while the other contenders commanded nothing but bands of fanatical cultists.{{cite thisFn|3x}}

Continuing in a subordinate role, however, did nothing to diminish Sek next appeared 's genius or his fearsome reputation among the Imperial Crusade force. Sek was chosen as one of the two commanders to spearhead Urlock Gaur's vicious counterstrike against [[Warmaster]] [[Macaroth]]'s ambitious [[Cabal Salient]]. Sek commanded a subordinate commander division of the Blood Pactoccupying [[Enothis]], commanding which not only repulsed an Imperial armoured offensive against his base in the Chaos counteroffensive on [[EnothisTrinity Hives]], but nearly succeeded in establishing air superiority, using mobile aircraft carriers in the desert to extend the effective range of his air forces and bomb Imperial cities far in advance of what the Imperial forces believed was possible.{{Fn|4a}} He was forced to flee the planet Only after the [[Battle of the Zophonian Sea]], when were the Imperials established air superiority and allowed able to turn the tide, allowing [[Lord Militant]] [[Humel]] 's retreating forces to counterreach safety, consolidate with their reinforcements, and re-attack and assault the Trinity Hives. This second assault was successful, though Sek escaped the planet.{{Fn|4b}}

The combined efforts of Sek realized that and the other Magisters nearly succeeded in order to place himself cutting off the Crusade's head in a position to eventually challenge Gaur for overall command, he required fighting resources equal to that of Gaur. It would be on the agricultural world [[GereonKhan Group]] that , and the process counterstrikes caused millions of building Sek's army would begindeaths among both Imperial military personnel and citizens.{{cite thisFn|3x}}

Gereon Part of what made Sek so dangerous is that, atypically of all the Chaos warlords, including the Gaur, he was to be capable of subtlety and finesse. He possessed a particular skill with propaganda, and the site use of initial training facilities terror as a weapon. He and [[Enok Innokennti]] both delighted in deliberately leaving the [[vox]] channels on besieged Imperial worlds open, so that nearby systems could hear the defenders' frantic cries for help and reports of unthinkable atrocities committed by the Blood Pact. Where another Chaos warlord might capture an Imperial world with mass bombardment taking weeks, the Blood Pact forces commanded by Sek conquered many targets virtually overnight, after their defenders' morale simply collapsed.{{Fn|3x}} One of Sek's "masterpieces"The was the [[Sons of SekAddolorata Incident]]” under , when an Imperial fleet in retreat to friendly lines was fired upon by the supervision over-anxious gun crews of Traitor General the [[Noches Sturmstar fort]]s they were attempting to reach, who had mistaken them for a disguised Chaos force. Before the confusion was sorted out, the Imperial fleet was all but destroyed, and the star forts badly mauled, allowing Sek's forces to sweep in and capture both with minimal losses.{{Fn|3x}} Although the situation in the Khan Group was stabilized, Warmaster Macaroth remained wary of some new move by Sek, formerly who Macaroth could not afford to underestimate. This is speculated to be one of the reasons why Macaroth re-tasked [[Lord Militant]] [[Cybon]] and [[Royal VolponeMarshal]] [[Imperial Guard RegimentBlackwood]]with guarding the rear flank of the Crusade, an apparently menial assignment which could have become vitally important if Sek launched a new offensive from an unexpected direction.{{Fn|3x}} Eventually, however, Sek grew tired of his subordinate role and began building a former Blood Pact Commandernew army in secret. Like It was on the Blood Pact, [[Agri World]] [[Gereon] that Sek began the training of the [[Sons of Sek were ]], an army that, like the Blood Pact, was trained, organized, and equipped to be formed around the structure of same degree as the [[Imperial Guard]], but loyal only to Sek.{{cite Fn|2}} Word of thisreached the Crusade force, and some [[Imperial Tactician]]s speculated that the Crusade might help itself by provoking a civil war between the Gaur and Sek, although the last thing the Imperial forces wanted was for Sek to emerge victorious as the new Archon.{{Fn|3x}}
