Roaming the [[galaxy]] and [[Warp]] alike in search of committing both practical jokes and devastating mayhem, the Changeling has appeared on the battlefield as a mirror-image of a hero, his comrades unable to tell the difference between the two until it was too late. It was the Changeling who in the image of [[Lord Solar Macharius]] ordered the retreat on [[Goranna]] just as the real [[Warmaster]] was about to direct his forces to the front line. As a [[Grot]], the Changeling sabotoged [[Warboss]] [[Gitsmasha]]'s favorite [[Shoota]], blowing the Warlord and his retinue to smithereens as soon as it was fired. On one occasion, the Changeling even took the shape of a [[Keeper of Secrets]] and answered the summoning of a traitorous [[Imperial Governor]] whose palace was besieged by [[Dark Angels]]. There, the Changeling traded the souls of the desperate man's daughters for a "powerful artifact" to turn the tide of the siege, but turned out to be a stolen [[Ravenwing]] teleporation beacon.{{Fn|3}}
The Changeling proved instrumental in orchestrating the [[Siege of the Fenris System]] in the late [[41st Millennium]]. Disguising itself first as a [[Dark Angels]] [[Scout]] and later [[Sammael]], the Changeling convinced the [[Azrael]] that the [[Space Wolves]] had become mutated and were responsible for attacks on Dark Angels targets across the Galaxy.{{Fn|4}}
