Abaddon is just like Horus, he is empowered by the forces of the warp(a.k.a the Chaos Gods). The Emperor could have killed Horus without his psychic powers, but the Ruinous Powers of Chaos would then ressurect Horus. The Emperor would be put on the Golden Throne, while Horus would be Reborn, gather all of the Traitor Legions, and take over the Imperium. The Emperor had foreseen that, and killed Horus, using all of his psychic powers that remained within the Warp.

That's why Abaddon must be destroyed by Psyker, whose mind is clear and uncorrupted, like that of the Emperor. Oh, and he also must be a poweful psyker, if not like the Emperor, than at list a little weaker than the Master of Mankind, but strong enough to send the Despoiler to the realm where even the Chaos Gods won't be able to retrieve him.

I'm kinda tired of talking how Kaldor Draigo would fight the Despoiler. Bring up some other Candidates, like an Inquisitors for example. We've Jaq Draco, Gideon Ravenor, and Bronislaw Czevak(was an Inquisitor). Librarian Tigurius, Grey Knight Hyperion, and other people...

I still think, though that Ephrael Stern is the perfect candidate. Why, you ask? Here are the reasons:

1. She can ressurect herself, using only her faith in the God-Emperor. This has happened twice, first with the help of her dead sisters, the second time she did it by herself.

2. She can open a Webway portal using her psychic abilities.

3. She eventually will be exposed to the knowledge about the Chaos, on the Black Library, that is in the Webway.

4. The combination of Faith and the Psychic abilities will strongly increase her psychic powers, and make her a formidable opponent against the Despoiler.

All that will make her a very powerful individual. Hope that you're convinced...
