Changes

The heir to the powerful [[House Haarlock|Haarlock family]] on the world of [[Quaddis]] in the [[Calixis Sector]], which helped found Imperial rule in the region, over the millennia the Haarlocks have acquired much forbidden technology and lore from [[Xenos]] they have battled. Erasmus lost his wife and daughter in the inter-familial wars that grip the Haarlocks, causing him to massacre the rest of the family and all of their associates.{{Fn|1}} His family was killed over the vicious wars over the inheritance of the Haarlock [[Warrant of Trade]]. This single event drove Haarlock to slaughter all others of his line, as well as become obsessed with bringing back his dead family.{{Fn|3}}  He attempted to utilize his family's forbidden lore to that end.{{Fn|1}} In his endless search for a means of achieving this insane desire he left no ancient technology, xenos-lore, or art of warp-craft unplumbed to little avail. He was left with failed experiments, bloody disasters, and empty daemon-whispered lies. At least until he found what appeared to be the answer: the [[Blind Tesseract]].{{Fn|3}} The shifting portals within the Blind Tesseract allowed Haarlock to visit the past but not change it. So he continued to watch his family's murder over and over with no ability to intervene. Eventually he would use the Blind Tesseract to find a place where he could learn the final means to achieve his desire: an audience with the fabled [[Dusk Hag]] who had eluded him in the past. He paid an unknown price to this being of appalling power and forbidden knowledge, whom he paid an unknown price to answer his question. The Dusk Hag revealed that the answer to his desires lay in [[Komus]], the Tyrant Star.{{Fn|3}} Only that baleful wanderer had the power to end his desires she said, and to it he must go, though in doing so he would be utterly destroyed. Haarlock laughed at her. Had he not already sacrificed all? Was he not Haarlock Kinslayer, master of deamons, enslaver of the alien, the night traveller? Did not the death of a hundred worlds already blacken his soul? And so Haarlock returned to the Blind Tesseract and configured his monolithic device to plot a course to where no man had dared before, opened the doorway to darkness, and stepped though.{{Fn|3}}
