{{Spoiler | source = The Lion: Son of the Forest (Novel)}}
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Fallen Angel]] and [[Sorcerer Lord]] who leads the warband known as the [[Ten Thousand Eyes]].{{Fn|2a}} He is said to be a formidable warrior who used [[Warp]]-based powers and his own super-human charisma to lead a brutal uprising against the rightful rulers of the [[Imperium]] world [[Bast]] and afterwards installed himself as its [[Planetary Governor|Governor Lord]].{{Fn|1}}
After the formation of the [[Great Rift]], Seraphax, his lieutenants [[Markog]] and [[Baelor]], and his Ten Thousand Eyes grew their petty empire to encompass multiple worlds. This included [[Camarth]], the world that [[Lion El'Jonson]] first manifested upon following his return to the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|2a}} Instead of fear or apprehension at the Lion's return, Seraphax saw the emergence of the Primarch as a chance to carry out his ultimate plan.{{Fn|2b}}
Luring the Lion to the world of [[Sable]], Seraphax was able to ensnare the Primarch his gene-father in sorcerous chains. He revealed that he intended to remove El'Jonson's soul from his body and take command of his corpse as a puppet. Gaining an audience with the [[Emperor]], Seraphax would use the Lion's puppeted body to strike down his father upon the [[Golden Throne]] and elevate him to a god-like [[Warp Entity]]. Continuing to insist he worked for the betterment of mankind, Seraphax believed the newly ascended Emperor would destroy both the [[Chaos Gods]] and all [[Xenos]].{{Fn|2c}} However, the Lion was able to resist Seraphax's ritual long enough for [[The Risen]] to arrive and disrupt his plan. During the fighting, Seraphax transformed into a monstrous form and battled the Lion until his lieutenant [[Baelor]] stabbed him in the back.{{Fn|2d}}
