'''Bokor the Wildman''' is one of [[Tzeentch]]'s most powerful [[Daemon]]s. {{Fn|1}}
''He is possibly a [[Lord of Change]] or [[Daemon Prince]], the sources or not clear on this.''{{Fn|1}}
==Description==
Bokor was described as turning whole species to the cause of [[Tzeentch]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Bokor was present at the [[Conclave of Thalassocress]], a grand gathering of Tzeentch's most powerful daemons at the [[Daemon-World]] [[Thalassocress]], presided over by Tzeentch himself. Bokor was one of those attendants who attracted Tzeentch's favour with their power and the might of their armies.{{Fn|1}}
When investigatin a series of [[cult]]-related murders on the [[Hive-World]] [[Anathema (Hive-World)|Anathema]], [[Inquisitor]] [[Corvin Golrukhan]] heard of the name ''Bokor the Wildman''. He found out that it is the name of a [[Daemon]], though nothing further.{{Fn|2}}
Later in his career, Inquisitor Golrukhan landed on the [[Daemon-World]] [[Malodrax]] and explored it in disguise. At one point, he asked for passage into the city of [[Shalhadar]], a champion of [[Slaanesh]]. The daemonic guard at the city-gate demanded to know: ''"Who is your god?"'' Golrukhan answered: ''"Bokor the Wildman."'' Golrukhan did not even know whether this was a good answer, but the guard was satisfied.{{Fn|2}}
==Etymology==
The '''Wildman''' is a motif from european medieval and Renaissance art. The Wildman is generally depicted as a (semi-)naked male barbarian with strong body-hair, in a nature-setting with trees, bushes, wild animals and so forth. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man source]
The Wildman represents the anti-thesis to civilization: He represents barbarity, the disorder of untamed nature, lack of law & order, lack of high morals and good manners, lack of rational thought...[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man source]
Depending on the context, the depiction of the Wildman is either positive or negative:
* In some artwork, the Wildman represents an obstacle or foe, overcome and bested by the pious and virtuous protagonists.
* In some artwork, the Wildman represents a romantic desire to leave society and their laws behind and to live free of them in the wilderness.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man source]
