Tz'Keth'K'Zar
Tz'Keth'K'Zar is a Tzeentch Lord of Change.[1]
History
In M42 he began giving visions to nine sleeping members of Garmesh's population, which languished in poverty under the rulership of Imperial Governor Habeyl VII. These nine were also Psykers, who gained their powers due to the Great Rift's creation, and K'Zar bade them to pool their psychic abilities together in order to save their Hive World. The Lord of Change led them to believe it was the God-Emperor speaking to them and that he had chosen them to be his champions. This made the group do as K'Zar asked and they formed a cabal in Garmesh's Underhive. Shortly afterwards, the Lord of Change appeared before them as a winged being of blazing light within their midst. He then blessed the cabal, by magnifying their psychic abilities ninefold and told them they had the power to change the Hive World beyond recognition - if they fully employed their newfound psychic powers. Blinded by faith and hope, the nine cabal psykers named themselves the Heralds of Change, and set about mounting a sorcerous insurrection upon Garmesh.[1]
Due to their abilities, the Heralds became a serious threat to Habeyl VII's rule and this caused the Imperial Commander to send out astropathic pleas for aid. He and his and his fellow Nobles would then hide out in their Hive Spire fortresses and demanded that their household guards hold back the cabal's onslaught until help could arrive. Once the Heralds learned of this, they became desperate and with victory so close at hand, the cabal beseeched the God-Emperor to aid them. However it was not the Emperor, but K'Zar who answered their plea. All had occurred as the Lord of Change had foreseen, since he first appeared to his unwitting pawns and bestowed his gifts upon them. K'Zar was all too pleased to aid the cabal again and once he manifested upon Garmesh, he had the nine Heralds consumed by raging pillars of warpfire, which quickly connected into a nine-sided Warp Gate. Out from that inferno spilled the daemon legions of Tzeentch and the Hive World was soon engulfed by the Chaos God's power.[1]
