'''{{PAGENAME}}Madail''' is a powerful [[Daemon]] of [[Chaos Undivided]] that took part in the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}}

Long preparations were made to summon {{PAGENAME}} Madail from the [[Warp]]{{Fn|1a}}, but they finally came to fruition when the [[Ruinstorm]] was cast during the Heresy and those stuck within it were unable to reliably use the [[Astronomicon]]{{Fn|1b}}. In the aftermath of the Ruinstorm's creation, the [[Xenos]] built [[Chaos]] structures on the [[Death World]] [[Pythos]], acted like a beacon within the [[Warp Storm]] and this drew the remnants of the [[Iron Hands]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s 111th [[Company]] and their [[Raven Guard]] and [[Salamanders]] allies to the world{{Fn|1c}}. Led by their [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Durun Atticus]], the Iron Hands and their allies landed upon the Death World and built a base, so that their [[Astropath]] [[Rhydia Erephren]] could study the structures in order to determine how they functioned{{Fn|1d}}. This was followed by the arrival of a fleet of ships{{Fn|1e}} filled with [[Chaos]] worshipers from [[Davin]]; who had been told by a messenger from the Warp, that they would play a key part in summoning {{PAGENAME}}Madail{{Fn|1a}}. Though the Davinites nearly met their ends at the jaws of Pythos' predators{{Fn|1e}}, they were saved by the Iron Hands after the Company was persuaded to come to their aid, by the Salamanders [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Khi'Dem]] and the Raven Guard Legionary [[Inachus Ptero]]. Not knowing the Davinites' true nature, the Iron Hands then allowed them to build a settlement near the Company's base, after the Davinites declared that Pythos was their new home and purposely destroyed the spaceships that brought them to the Death World.{{Fn|1f}}

However this proved to be the Legionaries downfall, as when the Davinites revealed their Chaos worship to the Iron Hands and their allies, it was too late to stop the ritual they had begun to enact as soon as they arrived on Pythos. When it was completed, {{PAGENAME}} Madail emerged upon the Death World and in the mayhem that followed, the Daemon demanded that the Davinites sacrifice themselves as blood offerings, to Pythos' predators and they willingly left the safety of their settlement. As the Legionaries in the settlement began fruitlessly attacking {{PAGENAME}}Madail, the Davinites were quickly fed upon by a large number of the Death World's predators and they then deliberately led the beasts to the Iron Hands' base{{Fn|1a}}, which soon fell to the predators{{Fn|1g}}. As the final Davinites died, their blood enacted yet another Chaos ritual{{Fn|1a}}, which allowed a Chaos incursion to occur on Pythos and between the rampage of the predators and Daemons, only a few Legionaries were left fighting for their lives{{Fn|1g}}. Knowing that their end was near{{Fn|1h}}, and with their [[Strike Cruiser]] [[Veritas Ferrum]] having just been destroyed by a warp blast{{Fn|1i}}, Captain Atticus led the few Legionaries near him in a charge to reach one of the Xenos structures, so that the Astropath Erephren could use it to warn [[Terra]] about {{PAGENAME}}Madail's presence. The Daemon sensed their intent and attacked them, but was held off long enough for Erephren to send the message, before the effort of doing so killed her. Now only Atticus remained and with the message sent, the Captain charged at {{PAGENAME}}Madail, but was easily killed by the powerful Daemon. Afterwards, {{PAGENAME}} Madail ordered the Daemons on Pythos, to use their bodies to repair the destroyed Veritas Ferrum and then used the Strike Cruiser to leave the Death World, with what remained of its Daemon flock, to attack other worlds{{Fn|1h}}. Though Terra eventually received Erephren's message, it was so undecipherable that no Astropath could understand what it contained and her warning went unheard.{{Fn|1}}
