'''Sor Bakphal''' was a [[Dark Apostle]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] and took part in the [[Dropsite Massacre]]{{Fn|1}}. He later led the [[Word Bearers]]' forces against the [[Imperium]] on the planet [[Lakaph]]. There they surged across the planet, converting the human population to the worship of the [[Ruinous Powers]] and nearly overthrew the Imperium's rule. However unknown to Bakphal, an [[Eldar]] [[Ranger]] band, led by [[Eladen Longstrider]], hunted him. As the Dark Apostle preached to an audience of captured Imperial soldiers, Longstrider shot him with a laser-guided needle dosed with the poison [[Knightsbane]]. The poison was too much even for Bakphal's altered body and he died instantly, causing confusion amongst his forces; which allowed the Imperium to regroup and take back the planet from the Word Bearers.{{Fn|2}}
