==History==
Vect was born a lowly slave in Commorragh. Carving a bloody path through the city using a combination of deception and his own wits, Vect climbed the ladder of Commorragh and founded the Kabal of the Black Heart. By the time the arrogant nobility of Commorragh acknowledged that the low-born Vect could pose a legitimate threat, {{Fn|2a}} it was too late and by '''984'''.[[M35]] with a pact signed to the [[Masque of the Veiled Path]]{{Fn|9}}, Vect had forcibly united the disparate sub-realms of the Dark City into his fold.{{Fn|2a}} Vect then captured the [[Salamanders]] [[Space Marine]] [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Forgehammer'', which provoked an Imperial invasion of Commorragh itself. In the [[Commorragh Raid|ensuing battle]], the Lords of Commorragh were killed by the vengeful Space Marine forces and Vect emerged as the undisputed ruler of the Dark City.{{Fn|2b}}
In [[M41]], Vect faced a major threat to his power when [[El'Uriaq]], the tyrant of [[Shaa-Dom]], was resurrected by rival [[Kabal]]s, led by [[Xelian]], [[Kraillach]], and [[Yllithian]].{{Fn|4}} Later during the closing years of the Millennium, Vect was forced to retreat to the outskirts of Commorragh after the birth of [[Yvraine]] caused a massive [[Dysjunction]] that threatens to destroy the Dark City. Vect maintains an uneasy alliance with his remaining Kabals, desperately seeking Yvraine for his own ends.{{Fn|5}}
