After Ctesias's first death at the hands of a [[Flesh Hound]] Be'lakor comes to claim Ctesias. Ahriman intervenes, trying to negotiate for Ctesias's life. Be'lakor tried to induce Ahriman to his service against the whole Chaos Pantheon, and eventually ceding that his deal with Ctesias was part of a long-term plan to meet with Ahriman in person.
