Ankh-Heloth

'''Ankh-Heloth was a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion and commander of the 11th Host. Ankh-Heloth had arisen to the esteemed position of Dark Apostle under dubious circumstances. While it was the Dark Council of Sicarus that had instated Ankh-Heloth as the First Acolyte of the 11th Host, this was only at Grand Apostle Ekodas’s insistence. Less than a decade later Ankh-Heloth had ascended to the position of Dark Apostle after his predecessor was killed under circumstances engineered, many believed, by Ekodas. Ankh-Heloth did not garner much respect from his fellow Dark Apostles of the elite cadre of the Dark Council, many of them regarding him as 'Edokas's whipping boy'.

Appearance
Ankh-Heloth was described as a severe-looking warrior with a cruelly barbed, black metal star of Chaos Glorified hammered into his forehead, Dark Apostle Ankh-Heloth’s flesh was a living canvas upon which he had performed his grisly, sacred arts. He bore numerous cuts and welts, the angry disfigurements evidence of ritual flagellation. Older scars lay beneath the fresher wounds. Ankh-Heloth more than likely rubbed poisonous balms and liniments into his self-inflicted cuts in order to hamper the regenerative qualities of his Astartes physiology, for many of his wounds were open and raw. Such practices were not uncommon within the Legion.
