==Overview==
A Daemonic forgemaster Having long kept himself shrouded from the [[Forge of Souls]]most races, Vashtorr is mostly a neutral player demi-god of inventors, engineers, scientists, and artisans. He is empowered by acts of curiosity and innovation in the [[Great GameMaterium]] , shorn of morality and constructs weapons for any driven to its darkest extremes. He has only manifested a handful of times in galactic history, and some cryotp-scholars maintain he was created amidst the [[Chaos Gods]]reckless arms race of some ancient galaxy-spanning war. Vashtorr Others propose he was created from technological innovation and experimentation, and has gained power from events in brought about by the horrors of the [[MateriumDark Age of Technology]] , where he proved a patron to many of its technological horrors.{{Fn|2}} He is also said to have been empowered by events such as the rise of the [[Necrons]], the [[Cursed Founding]], and the creation of the [[Primaris Space Marine]]s. However, Vashtorr is not content with his status and wishes to become a full Chaos God in and of itself. To that end, he has aided [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] in the creation of the [[Arks of Omen]].{{Fn|1}}
Vashtorr's abilities is not a slave of any of the four great Chaos Gods, instead maintaining his own sphere of influence and unique role within the [[Warp]].

However he is far from defenseless, and has sports his own hosts of powerful techno-daemonic monstrosities.{{Fn|2}} His activities have nonetheless attracted the ire of other jealous Daemons. Most notable amongst these is , most notably [[Be'lakor]].{{Fn|1}} Despite all he has achieved, Vashtorr has grown unsatisfied with his status. He seeks to become a fifth Chaos God in his own right. To that end, he seeks to fulfill a prophecy involving fragments of the mysterious [[Key (Weapon)|Key]] and entered into an alliance with [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. His proposal to Abaddon initiated the construction of the [[Ark of Omen|Arks of Omen]] and the [[Arks of Omen Campaign|war involving them]].{{Fn|2}}
