'''Ezekyle Abaddon''' (EZ-uh-kighl AB-uh-don){{fnFn|34}}, more commonly known as '''Abaddon the Despoiler''', is the [[Warmaster]] of [[Chaos]], the former [[First Captain]] of the [[Sons of Horus]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] and now absolute [[Legion Master|Master]] of the [[Black Legion]], and rumoured to be the clone-progeny of Warmaster [[Horus]].{{Fn|23a}}
He is the most powerful Warmaster of all, successor to his Primarch, and blessed by all four of the [[Gods of Chaos]]. Despite being the Warmaster of Chaos, Abaddon has refused giving himself fully over to the Ruinous Powers as the [[Daemon Primarch]]s have, as this would limit his existence beyond the [[Eye of Terror]] and push his ultimate vengeance against the [[Imperium]] beyond his grasp.{{Fn|8a}}
