Invocatus, also called the "Horseman of the Apocalypse," is a Chaos Lord of the World Eaters Traitor Legion who rides to battle atop a Khornate Juggernaut Daemon.
History[]
Khornate hordes are more like a natural disaster than a disciplined army, steamrolling entire planets in waves of immense bloodshed and outright slaughter. It takes a warrior of supreme skill and confidence to command them -- a warrior like the Chaos Lord Invocatus of the World Eaters Traitor Legion.
From atop his Juggernaut he leads thunderous charges of Bloodcrushers and Berzerkers in frontal attacks that light the sky aflame, and some claim he even rides the flames themselves.
At an unknown date in the Era Indomitus, the Deathwatch Watch Fortress of Ebon Vale was assailed by the gore-slicked World Eaters warband of Heretic Astartes commanded by Lord Invocatus. Together with Daemon Engine allies from the Brazen Beasts, Invocatus raided the arsenals of the Deathwatch to claim state-of-the-art Adeptus Astartes wargear and powerful artefacts of battle from Ebon Vale's reliquaries.
When the Chaos attack was quarantined and whittled down by the Deathwatch's air cover, the World Eaters made their departure, leaving empty weapons vaults and hundreds of black-armoured corpses in their wake. With the Deathwatch greatly reduced in strength in the region, a Hrud infestation spread throughout the Ebon Vale soon after, reducing several Civilised Worlds to useless mulch.
