→Chengrel's Body guard
After acquiring a large number of [[Eldar]] [[Spirit Stone]]s, Chengrel held a great auction among the Chaos Space Marines to decide who would obtain them. Those interested were [[Hodir]] of the [[Night Lords]], [[Emmesh-Aiye]] of the [[Emperor's Children]], [[Drachmus]] of the [[Word Bearers]], and [[Khrove]] of the [[Thousand Sons]]. The lord who spoke the greatest tale of destruction against the Imperium would win the prize, though to Chengrel's disgust it turned out that none of the Chaos Lords gathered were neither [[Horus Heresy]] veterans, original members of the [[Legio Astartes]], or particularly interested in finishing the Long War. Rather, they had all been forcibly recruited or conscripted into their Legions' forces in the ten thousand years since the Heresy. Worse still, most of their tales involved fighting other traitor legions rather then waging the Long War against the Imperium. Not thinking any of them worthy of the Spirit Stones, Chengrel flew into a rage and attacked his fellow Chaos overlords after a show of disrespect towards his him and his attitude. A great free-for-all erupted in Chengrel's fortress that saw many Iron Warriors dead, the death Emmesh-Aiye, and the deaths or escape of Drachmus and Hodir. Chengrel viciously battled against Khrove in single combat, and yet the [[Sorcerer]] managed to deal Chengrel a humiliating defeat and escape Burjan's World with the Spirit Stones. Since then Chengrel has lost much prestige and many Iron Warriors have left his service, while he plots revenge against the legionaries that he is convinced have betrayed him.{{Fn|1}}
==Chengrel's Body body guard==
Chenrel's body guard was a hunched and creaking thing that might have once been a [[space marine]]. Its legs were fused together and it moved on a rolling tank-track that replaced its feet. The track was made of thick muscle and its treads were bone claws. Its arms ended in gun-barrels. Sprouting directly from its neck between clusters of thick steel horns was his face, a leering mask made of tarnished [[ceramite]]. A meaty tongue flopped through the mask's mouth-slit.
