Be'lakor was the first mortal elevated to [[Daemonhood]] by Chaos. However, much of his origins are hidden behind legend and rumour, tales torn from the tongues of captive [[Daemons]] or as forbidden lore recorded in ancient crypts. Legends tell of Be’lakor ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, the Daemon Prince conquering a world and subjugating its people, forcing them to worship him as a god. When the race would fall into decline, ruined by Be’lakor’s greed and malevolence, the Daemon would move on, finding a new burgeoning race to be his playthings. Several times, the Daemon Prince is said to have been the lord of [[sector]] spanning empires, a dark daemonic god ruling over a thousand worlds and billions of loyal followers.{{Fn|8}} Even the [[Grey Knights]] know very little of his history, what little information remaining suggesting that he has been ruling over mortal empires since the dawn of time, only to abandon them when they would fall into decline.{{Fn|2}} Even this is just supposition, however, as these exist as impossible lies and conflicting fabrications.{{Fn|8}}
