Vasellisk
Vasellisk the Shrouded was a Night Lords Sorcerer Warlord, who led his Warband to invade the Imperium Mining World Xanthematos, after being drawn there by an endless psychic scream.[1]
The Warband then proceeded to butcher the world's entire population, but were then sealed within one of its mines with the disembodied warp-gheists - the shadows of the tormented souls of killed miners - by the Thousand Sons Magister Hasophet and his Mind-Eaters thrallband. It had been Hasophet who had lured Vasellisk to the Mining World, as the Sorcerer Warlord was needed for the Magister's plans to attain Daemonhood. The Magister then turned the warp-gheists to Warpfire and filled the mines with magical flames, that burned Vasellisk's Warband to ash, but turned the Sorcerer Warlord's body into a lump of dark glass, that pulsed with his physic energy. Hasophet later collected the dark glass, which he named the Shrouded Crystal, thus completing his seven hundred and sixty-fifth rite, and became one step closer to becoming a Daemon Prince.[1]
