We know 5 of the 8 Chaos gods - Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgil, Slaanesh & Malice but who are the other 3, what are there natures & powers & why are they absent from the scene?

What i theorise is that the 4 greater gods are that because they co-operate when they need to but the other 4 for various reasons don't. Malice is a case in point his self destructive urge to devour chaos & then the rest of the universe (which makes him the most likely suspect to be behind the Tyranids in my view) means that only someone considered insane by CHAOS! would ever serve him & the other Chaos gods would never ally with him under any circumstances.

As for the other's 1 idea i had was for 1 of them to be some 40k form of Neferata. A chaos goddess with deep craving for Chaos but also a driving need for order & control, desiring to rule the universe from behind the scenes rather than tear it apart. That would make co-operation between her & the other chaos gods near impossible & may have led the big 4 to stamp out her followers completely - or almost. This would also be a way to bring true vampires into the 40k universe, maybe vampires are a form of semi demonised undead but instead of a demon taking over a body Neferata's power partially endemonises the soul & body of the victim. This would certainly be a way to explain a vampires abilities. Also adding vampires to the 40k canon would crerate some delicious complications for the sons of Sanguinius.

Anyway this is just my idea anbody have theory of your own?
