The Omphalos Daemonium ferries passengers through Uriel and Pasanius escaped Medrengard in the warp via routes known as the [[blood-tracks]]Daemon Engine.{{Fn|1b1a}}
Uriel ==Description==The Omphalos Daemonium ferries passengers through the [[Warp]] via routes known as the bronze [[blood-tracks]]. The Omphalos Daemonium is a daemon engine in the form of something that was once a akin to a steam-driven locomotive, now wreathed and malformed into diabolical majesty. This brazen juggernaut is driven forward by vast bone-pistons. Bloody steam leaks from every skull-faced rivet of its iron and Pasanius escaped Medrengard steel flanks, wheels of tortured souls feast on the blood pools it trails. The Omphalos Daemonium is followed in the Daemon Enginetow by a procession of dark iron boxcars, their timbers stained with aeons of blood and torture, rusted with gore. Millions had been carried to their deaths in these hellish containers.{{Fn|1a1x}}

The daemon captured two exiled [[Ultramarines]], [[Uriel Ventris]] and his former [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]], [[Pasanius Lysane]], and charged them with the task of retrieving the [[Heart of Blood]]. Upon the Heart of Blood being set free by the Ultramarines, the Omphalos Daemonium arrived to take advantage of its rival's weakened state from its imprisonment. However, in the climax of the battle, the Heart of Blood conjured up a bloodstorm which strengthened its abilities to their former glory. Upon restoration of its powers, the Heart of Blood was the more powerful of the two daemons and ultimately defeated its enemy once again. The Omphalos Daemonium was beheaded and its essence was drunk by its mortal enemy.{{Fn|1x}}
