==History==
Vect was born a lowly slave in Commorragh. Carving a bloody path through the city using a combination of deception and his own wits, Vect climbed the ladder of Commorragh and founded the Kabal of the Black Heart. By the time the arrogant nobility of Commorragh led by [[Xelian]], [[Kraillach]], and [[Yllithian]] acknowledged that the low-born Vect could pose a legitimate threat , it was too late and Vect had forcibly united the disparate sub-realms of the Dark City into his fold.{{Fn|2a}} Vect then captured the [[Salamanders]] [[Space Marine]] [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Forgehammer'', which provoked an Imperial invasion of Commorragh itself. In the [[Commorragh Raid|ensuing battle]], the Lords of Commorragh were killed by the vengeful Space Marine forces and Vect emerged as the undisputed ruler of the Dark City.{{Fn|2b}}
In [[M41]], Vect faced a major threat to his power when [[El'Uriaq]], the tyrant of [[Shaa-Dom]], was resurrected by rival [[Kabal]]s, led by [[Xelian]], [[Kraillach]], and [[Yllithian]].{{Fn|4}} Later during the closing years of the Millennium, Vect was forced to retreat to the outskirts of Commorragh after the birth of [[Yvraine]] caused a massive [[Dysjunction]] that threatens to destroy the Dark City. Vect maintains an uneasy alliance with his remaining Kabals, desperately seeking Yvraine for his own ends.{{Fn|5}}
Following the birth of the prophet of [[Ynnead]] [[Yvraine]] around the time of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], Commorragh was devastated and [[Battle of Khaine's Gate|flooed by Daemons]]. Vect only appeared in the later stages of the battle after all seemed lost, calling in old debts and rallying the [[Incubi]] sect to launch a massive counterattack that saved the heart of Commorragh. However , shortly after, Vect is cut down by [[Mandrake]]s serving an unknown master.{{Fn|6}}
Following the death of Vect, a funeral by the [[Harlequin]]s of the [[Masque of the Veiled Path]] was organized and attended by many [[Archon]]s, both friend and foe of Vect. However , at the cressendo crescendo of the service , the Archons are massacred by the Harlequins in a bloody spectacle. Their blood is used to resurrect Vect, who becomes reborn with a perfect body imbued with a new dark power. After the massacre the [[Prophets of Flesh]] resurrect much of the dead, however although all who reamined remained faithful to Vect were ressurected resurrected in full health, some of his enemies were reborn as mere slaves to Vect's will - becoming grotescue grotesque abominations and twisted monstrosities for Vect's amusing and eternal mocking of them. Vect declares himself a living [[Dark Muse]], his position now unassailable. His only remaining threat is from Yvraine herself, and Vect now makes plans to end the Reborn prophet.{{Fn|6}}
