Aphotic Blade

The Bringers of Despair is the name given to the Chaos Terminators who serve as the elite bodyguard of Abaddon the Despoiler, the Warmaster of Chaos and ruling Chaos Lord of the Black Legion.

After he assumed full control over the Traitor Legion that had once been the Sons of Horus in the wake of the Horus Heresy, Ezekyle Abaddon formed from the newborn Black Legion's ranks a personal bodyguard, known as the Bringers of Despair, among other dark titles. Selected from the strongest and most vicious of his Chaos Terminators, these fearsome warriors would become a terrifying sight, their arrival announcing the presence of the Despoiler himself upon the battlefield.
