[[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}}
Unknown to Kyber, he is being manipulated by Be'lakor. The Daemon Prince placed the first clues to his existence in Kyber's path, leading the Magos to the ruins of a world he once ruled. From this seed of curiosity, Kyber has discovered new systems, planets and ruined empires long forgotten by Be'lakor. While the Daemon helps Kyber from the shadows, the Magos gathers up the hidden and forgotten legacy Be'lakor has left behind, ultimately returning to the Daemon Prince his lost objects of power, while also erasing his existence from history.{{Fn|2}} ===Recent HistoryBlack Crusades===He has recently begun to influence events around [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. He is rumoured to have manipulated the Deamon Daemon Prince [[Tallomin]] in aiding Abaddon assaulting [[Cadia]] during the [[Third Black Crusade]], and informed Abaddon of [[Drecarth the Sightless]]'s treachery, ultimately leading to the destruction of the the [[Sons of the Eye]] during the [[Sixth Black Crusade]]. By the time of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], Be'lakor has worked his way into Abaddon's inner circle.{{Fn|2}}
In 999.[[M41]] he allied with the [[Warsmith]] [[Shon'tu]] in a plan to hijack the [[Phalanx]] and use it to bombard [[Terra]]. In the ensuing [[Battle of the Phalanx]], Be'lakor's Daemonic hordes battled the [[Imperial Fists]] 3rd Company.{{Fn|1}}
