'''Hasophet{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[Thousand Sons]] [[Sorcerer|Magister]] of the [[Mind-Eaters]] thrallband.
Hasophet received a [[Tzeentch]]-ordained vision that showed him his destiny. The vision revealed that sometime in the future, he will attain [[Daemonhood]] after devouring the thoughts and memories of an entire world. He was shown how to reach this goal and he then led the Mind-Eaters on the first of ''nine hundred and ninety-nine'' rites, that would take Hasophet to this portended moment{{Fn|1a}}. Among the rites Hasophet conducted over the next several millennia were: turning the [[Night Lords]] [[Sorcerer]] [[Chaos Lord|Warlord]] [[Vasellisk]]'s body into the [[Shrouded Crystal]]{{Fn|1b}}, as well as killing the Thousand Sons [[Exalted Sorcerer]] [[Korthuphos]], in order to claim his two hearts{{Fn|1c}}. Sometime after the [[Great Rift]] was created, Hasophet finally neared his goal and he needed to only complete the last rite on the [[Imperium]] [[Hive World]] [[Mangel III]]. When he and the Mind-Eaters arrived on the Hive World, they discovered it was being invaded by the [[Tau]], but this did not dissuade Hasophet from beginning his final rite.{{Fn|1d}} He shattered the Shrouded Crystal in orbit of the Mangel III to create a perpetual night on the planet and while the T'au and [[Imperial]] forces, cut off from orbital reinforcements and relays, fought desperately in the impenetrable darkness, Hasophet and his [[Mind-Eaters]] created from all artefacts and fetishes he collected during 999 rituals a great crescent pyre in the '''Valley of Sacrifices'''. Then Hasophet used two hearts of Korthuphos to ignite this pyre with their blood, while chanting a praises to great [[Tzeentch]].{{Fn|1d}}
