[[Image:BelakorArt.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Be'lakorthe Dark Master]]'''Be'lakor''' is the first [[Daemon '''Dark Master''', the '''First Prince]] ''' of [[Chaos]]and the '''One Who Heralds the Conquerors'''{{fn|4}}. A [[Daemon Prince]] of [[Chaos Undivided]], he beholds each of the [[Chaos Gods]] equally. Like a petulant first-born son, he is jealous of anyone that wins the favor of Chaos, and thus seeks to undermine them.{{Fn|2}}
== History ==
'''Be'lakor ''' was the first mortal elevated to [[Daemonhood]] by Chaos. However, much of his origins are hidden behind legend and rumour. Be'lakor himself does much to hide his true origin and history. But nonetheless legends tell of Be’lakor ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, the Daemon Prince conquering a world and subjugating its people, forcing them to worship him as a god. When the race would fall into decline, ruined by Be’lakor’s greed and malevolence, the Daemon would move on, finding a new burgeoning race to be his playthings. Several times, the Daemon Prince is said to have been the lord of [[sector]] spanning empires, a dark, Daemon god ruling over a thousand worlds and billions of loyal followers.{{Fn|2}} Even the [[Grey Knights]] know very little of his history. What little information there is on him suggests that he has been ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, only to abandon them when they would fall into decline.{{Fn|2}}
Be'lakor has a bitter jealousy towards anyone who wins the favour of the [[Dark Gods]]. As such, he is known to undermine the plans of the servants of Chaos. However, what he believes to be his free-will, is just a part of the rivalry between the Chaos Gods themselves.{{Fn|2}}
Relics and the ruins of dead worlds still exist that suggest there may be some truth to these legends; whether their source was Be’lakor or not One soul who succeeded in escaping Be'lakor's grasp is more difficult to say. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] Tech-[[Magos]] [[KyberAhzek Ahriman]] has spent his life piecing together the history of Be’lakor in his exploration of the galactic wilderness, hunting down ancient relics of who bound the Dark Age of TechnologyDaemon Prince after tricking him into thinking he had lured Ahriman into a trap.

Unaware of Be’lakor’s true nature, Kyber has become convinced that all these objects are linked to one alien overlord, an ancient creature that has existed for millions of years in various guises and is behind countless vile deeds.{{Fnfn|25}}
