Whilst it is unclear how Be'lakor managed to draw the gaze of the [[Chaos Gods]], he became the first mortal to be blessed by all four Ruinous Powers and became the first [[Daemon Prince]]. This would soon prove to be a mistake, however, as the Chaos Gods do not share for long, and soon they began to squabble for control over this winged Daemon Prince. But Be'lakor could and would not be tamed. Soon, the Chaos Gods gave up on trying to control the uncontrollable Daemon Prince, opting instead to invest their will in other mortals in the known universe. Although Be'lakor remained the strongest of the Daemon Princes, his power was greatly diminished as the Ruinous Powers began to put forth their own energies into other Daemon Prince. Since then, Be'lakor has held a bitter jealousy towards anyone who wins the favour of the [[Dark Gods]]. As such, he is known to undermine the plans of the servants of Chaos, a master of shadows exerting his will in subverting the intentions of the Dark Gods.{{Fn|8}} However, what he believes to be his free-will is just a part of the rivalry between the Chaos Gods themselves.{{Fn|2}}
One soul who succeeded in escaping Be'lakor's grasp is [[Ahzek Ahriman]], who bound the Daemon Prince after tricking him into thinking he had lured Ahriman into a trap. In exchange for being released from Ahriman's control, Be'lakor reluctantly agreed to relinquish his claims on the soul of the [[Sorcerer]] [[Ctesias]].{{fnFn|5}}
===The Relics of Be'lakor===
===Black Crusades===
Be'lakor began to influence events around [[Abaddon the Despoiler]], the Warmaster of Chaos. He was rumoured to have manipulated the Daemon Prince [[Tallomin]] in aiding Abaddon's assault of [[Cadia]] during the [[Third Black Crusade]], and during the [[Sixth Black Crusade]] informed Abaddon of [[Drecarth the Sightless]]'s treachery, ultimately leading to the destruction of the the [[Sons of the Eye]]. By the time of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], Be'lakor had managed to work his way into Abaddon's inner circle.{{Fn|2}}
In 999.[[M41]], Be'lakor allied with the [[Warsmith]] [[Shon'tu]] in a plan to hijack the ''[[Phalanx]]'' and use it to bombard [[Terra]]. In the ensuing [[Battle of the Phalanx]], Be'lakor's Daemonic hordes battled the [[Imperial Fists]]' [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]].{{Fn|1}} However, Be'lakor was ultimately foiled by the ghostly [[Legion of the Damned]] and forced to retreat.{{Fn|6}}
