==History==
===Heresy-era===
====Battle of Signus Prime====
Ka'Bandha first appeared leading Daemonic forces against the [[Blood Angels]] at the [[Battle of Signus Prime]] alongside the [[Keeper of Secrets]] [[Kyriss the Perverse]], being summoned to the [[Materium]] by sacrificing the [[Word Bearer]] [[Astropath]] [[Corocoro Sahzë]]. During the battle Ka'Bandha engaged in an airborne battle with [[Sanguinius]] and broke the Primarch's legs before unleashing the [[Ragefire]] upon the Legion and activating the dormant [[Red Thirst]] within the Legion. After Sanguinius was recovered thanks to the efforts of his Blood Angels, he engaged in a second round of fighting with Ka'Bandha and banished him back to the Warp.{{Fn|51a}}

The brutal violence of Ka’bandha had unleashed a thirst for blood within the psyche of the [[Blood Angels]], that would not rest until every taint of [[Chaos]] had been erased from the planet,{{Fn|1b}} and which would later be known as the [[Red Thirst]].
====The Challenge of Khorne====
====Siege of Terra====
Ka'Bandha would return once more to plague the [[Blood Angels]] during the last phase of the Siege of Terra. He was the first Greater Daemon who managed to pass the [[Emperor]]'s weakened psychic shield around the [[Sanctum Imperialis]], and attacked the [[Eternity Gate (Imperial)|Eternity Gate]]. There, he attempted to complete the mission Khorne had given him: Kill 500 Blood Angels in a set time in presence of Sanguinius. After breaking through the last Imperial defenses in front of the Eternity Gate, thus paving the way for the last grand Traitor assault (though he did not care for their success or failure), the Greater Daemon sought out Blood Angels among the defenders and butchered them. Sanguinius intervened, and the two duelled, though Ka'Bandha constantly attempted to break away to keep killing regular Blood Angels. Eventually, however, the Primarch managed to enrage him so much that he focused on their duel.{{Fn|10}} At one point, the Daemon cast Sanguinius to the ground. But, unlike Signus Prime, this time Sanguinius rose to his feet once again, and calling upon the last of his strength, hefted the Daemon by the neck. The Primarch was eventually able to break the Bloodthirster's back with the hilt of his sword. Afterwards the Primarch hurled the Greater Daemon back into the [[Heretic]] army and finally retreated back to the safety beyond the walls of the Eternity Gate.{{Fn|1b1d}}{{Fn|10}} Ka'Bandha's broken body was then consumed by weaker Khornate Daemons; later, Ka'bandha furiously realized that he had failed the test set by Khorne.{{Fn|10}}
