[[File:Doomrider.jpg|thumb|right|Doomrider{{citethis}}]]'''Doomrider''' is a [[Daemon Prince]] of [[Slaanesh]]. {{citethis}}
==History==
Doomrider's origins are largely a mystery. It is known that he was once a [[Chaos Space Marine]], but anything beyond that is uncertain. According to some, he was once a member of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Legion]], and lead their debauches during the [[Battle of Terra]]. According to other sources, he was a traitor from a different [[Chapter]], who went renegade after the [[Great Scouring]]. He has many names and titles used by those cultists that pay homage to him including the ''Demon of Speed'', the ''Wolf of the Exhaust '' and the ''King of the Road''.{{Fn|3}}
His physical presence when manifested in the material universe is of an angelically beautiful [[Astartes]] warrior clad in baroque [[Power Armour]], his body consumed from within by warpfire. Crowned with horns of onyx, his eyes are burning pits and his mouth is full of jagged fangs. The skin of his face shifts as it constantly regenerates over the damage the warpfire inflicts on his body, creating around him a miasma of exhaust fumes and the stink of burning flesh.{{Fn|3}}
