[[Image:DaivechThrax.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Daivech Thrax''{{Fn|1a}}]]
In [[M42]], the [[Prophet (Sorcerer Lord)|Prophet]] led his [[Chaos Warband|warband]] in an ambush on an [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet]]. With the fleet caught by surprise and surrounded, its [[Space Marine Commander]] ordered his warships to enter the [[Warp]]. While the Indomitus Fleet succeeded in doing so, the Prophet tracked them within the Warp and launched an attack on the Commander's [[Battle Barge]] flagship. While As Thrax then led the [[Sorcerer Lord]]'s forces against the [[Imperials]], the Prophet began summoning [[Daemon]]s within the Battle Barge. The Daemons materialized throughout the flagship and once he was done, the Sorcerer Lord ordered Thrax and his warband to withdraw. Shortly afterwards, the Daemons caused catastrophic damage to the Battle Barge and the Commander enacted an emergency exit from the Warp.{{Fn|1a}}
With the [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet]] dealt with, the [[Prophet (Sorcerer Lord)|Prophet]] began an invasion of an [[Imperium Nihilus]] [[Sector]].{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|1c}} The [[Sorcerer Lord]] sought to conduct a massive [[Chaos]] ritual there,{{Fn|1f}} which would pull the entire Sector into the [[Warp]].{{Fn|1d}} However, the [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]]'s fleet survived their emergency exit and found themselves scattered across the very same Sector the Prophet was attacking.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|1c}} This led the Commander to lead his forces against the Sorcerer Lord's [[Chaos Warband|warband]] in order to save the Sector's worlds.{{Fn|1c}} The Prophet continued his quest to claim the Sector despite this, which culminated in him creating a [[Chaos]] ritual which drew in Warp energy into the [[Space Station]] [[Fort Obsidian]].{{Fn|1f}} The Commander learned of the Sorcerer Lord's plans though and attempted to stop him. However, Thrax barred the Imperials way and was so powerful, that the Commander had to unleash an [[orbital bombardment ]] from his warships to defeat the [[Chaos Lord]]. With the Commander convinced that Thrax was dead,{{Fn|1e}} his forces went on to defeat the Prophet and put an end to the Sorcerer Lord's ritual. The Imperials would have then killed the Prophet, had Thrax not miraculously appeared and saved his master. The two then fled and escaped from the Imperials.{{Fn|1g}}
But, while the [[Prophet (Sorcerer Lord)|Prophet]] had been unable to claim the [[Sector]], he was not yet done with it. Instead, the [[Sorcerer Lord]] now desired to destroy the [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]] once and for all. To do so, the Prophet sought to unleash the [[Khorne]] [[Daemon Prince]] [[Halphas]], who had been imprisoned on one of the Sector's [[Imperial]] worlds.{{Fn|1i}} The Prophet then started a rebellion on the world{{Fn|1h}} and began a [[Chaos]] ritual to free Halphas.{{Fn|1i}} The Commander meanwhile, had been in constant pursuit of the Sorcerer Lord,{{Fn|1h}} since his escape from [[Fort Obsidian]],{{Fn|1g}} and the Imperials put an end to the Prophet's rebellion after arriving on the world.{{Fn|1h}} However the Sorcerer Lord broke the seal, shortly after the Imperials found him. With that, Halphas materialized into [[Realspace]] and this created a [[Warp Storm]] around the world.{{Fn|1i}}
