'''N'Kari''' is a powerful [[Daemon]] of [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|Conflicting sources}}

As a mortal, N'Kari was born on an isolated, backwater world which had been trapped in the centre of a violent [[Warp Storm|warp storm]] for millennia; incidentally, this was the same backwater world as the mortal who would become the Daemon Prince [[Bubonicus (Character)|Bubonicus]]. The Powers of [[Chaos]] had repeatedly attempted to conquer this planet, but had been foiled by the uncorrupted peoples of the world. N'Kari rose to prominence during one of the Chaos Powers' many attempts to conquer the planet. He proved himself a dedicated follower of Slaanesh in countless battles - and the debauched and disgusting revelries that followed them - and was rewarded by Slaanesh with the gift of Daemonhood. Along with [[Doombreed]], he was one of the two Daemon Princes that fought against the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] when he boarded [[Horus|Horus's]] [[Battle Barge|battle barge]], the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'', and he continues to serve his daemonic master to this day.{{Fn|1}}

N'Kari is an infamous foe of [[Eldrad Ulthran]], and has sought to trap his soul on several occasions.{{Fn|8}}

In 800.M41, N'Kari and his [[Daemon]] followers found the derelict [[Craftworld]] [[Malan'tai]] and stalked its ruined halls for hidden caches of [[spirit stone]]s to feed upon. For each spirit stone N'Kari devoured he grew more powerful, and by the time a [[Grey Knight]]s strike force responded to a dire vision by their [[Prognosticar]]s and arrived at the Craftworld, N'Kari had grown in strength tenfold.{{Fn|3}}

The Grey Knights purged their way through the ruined halls of Malan'tai, led by [[Grey Knights Brother-Captain|Brother-Captain]] [[Pelenas]] and accompained by as many [[Purifier]]s as possible. Any and all Daemons standing before them were cut down, until the Grey Knight strike force cornered N'Kari in the despoiled [[Dome of Crystal Seers]]. A fierce battle ensued, wherein a dozen Purifiers were slain and Pelenas was struck down. But before the Keeper of Secrets could strike the killing blow against the Captain, [[Justicar]] [[Anval Thawn]] threw himself in front of Pelenas. With N'Kari's spear stuck deep in Thawn's flesh, the surviving Purifiers had enough of a respite to complete the ritual of [[Twelve Bloody Swords]] and successfully drain N'Kari of his stolen power, opening him up to be defeated by Pelenas.{{Fn|3}}

N'Kari is described as having the lower body of a serpent, much like the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Fulgrim]]. However, the comparisons end there, as N'Kari is a grotesque obese creature that repulses even the [[Word Bearers]]. In combat, N'Kari will transform itself into a more muscled and lithe form.{{Fn|6b}}

{{trivia}}

N'Kari is also a major antagonist of [[William King|William King's]] '''Warhammer Fantasy''' novel trilogy focusing on the High Elf twins Tyrion and Teclis, and is a playable character in the video game '''Total War: Warhammer III'''.

Although it is implied that N'kari, [[Bubonicus_(Character)|Bubonicus]] and [[Flamefist]] all originate from the same planet and this is the [[https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Warhammer_world| Warhammer World]], it is not specified exactly in this way.

[[Codex: Chaos (2nd Edition)]] does not specifically state Bubonicus and N'kari originate from the same planet.

N'Kari has been referred to as both a [[Daemon Prince]]{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|6a}} or a [[Keeper of Secrets]]{{Fn|3}}, depending on the source.
