Kor Megron the Reaper of Rhodax
Kor Megron, the Reaper of Rhoax, was a Daemon Prince who had once been a mighty Space Marine of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion during the Horus Heresy. In later eras, after his ascension to daemonhood, Kor Megron still plaguing the galaxy with his foul presence.
History
The Word Bearers were once renowned for their fanatical loyalty and religious zeal in persecuting the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind. But when Warmaster Horus, greatest of the Primarchs and most favoured son, betrayed his oaths of loyalty and launched an galaxy-spanning insurrection, the once-loyal Word Bearers were once of the first Legions to openly declare for the Warmaster. They turned their adoration and devotion to the 'False Emperor' towards the unholy pantheon of the Chaos Gods. They turned against all that they had striven to build, ripping down the temples and edifices dedicated to the saviour of Mankind, bringing untold numbers of blasphemies and sacrilege across the length and breadth of the nascent Imperium of Man.
Following the defeat of Horus, Kor Megron continued to fight the Long War against the hated 'Corpse Emperor' and his False Imperium, seeking to undo all that he had wrought as a once-loyal Adeptus Astartes. The Dark Apostle led his Word Bearers Host in a bloody crusade across the galaxy for millennia. It was upon the cathedral world of Rhodax that Kor Megron would perpetrate his greatest work and be granted the boon of Daemonhood. The vile Dark Apostle fought a brutal war of attrition over a period of 3 months against the pitiful number of gathered soldiers of the Imperium. As the streets of Rhodax filled with bloating corpses, Kor Magron's Bolter soon ran dry. He continued to fight on towards the Imperial shrine of the Basilica of Petch, a beloved Imperial saint to whom the world now looked for salvation, with his ancient power sword until the energy cells powering his weapon ran out and the blade had snapped off in the spine of a shambling Ogryn. Not dissuaded by this temporary setback, Kor Magron continued to fight on with his fists.
Together with his warband he continued to assail the defenders on the steps of the fallen temple. The Cadian XIV Regiment of the Imperial Guard attacked the warhost enmasse, 2,000 of their warriors storming the marble staircases, but the Word Bearers pushed them back. Though many of the remaining Word Bearers were wounded and they were running low on ammunition, they remained unbowed. While his men continued to fight, Kor Megron toppled the forty-foot tall statue of Saint Petch, piling the bodies of the Cadian dead around it to form a blasphemous mound upon the consecrated ground of the Basilica.
Now bolstered by agents of the Inquisition the Cadians attacked once more. Kor Megron stood upon the mound of the dead, roaring his devotion to the Ruinous Powers, offering up the piles of Imperial dead as a dark sacrifice. For his unflinching loyalty and dedication to the Chaos pantheon, the lords of the Warp rewarded their devoted servant with Daemonhood. Seething with barely restrained power, Kor Magron's transformed, twisting by the warping power of Chaos. Where once had stood a proud and strong Chaos Space Marine now towered an almighty Daemon Prince of Chaos.
The Word Bearers roared their exaltation at their lord's transformation, fighting on with renewed vigour, for they had been blessed by their dark gods. The Daemon Prince ripped the marbled blade free from the statue of Saint Petch, and transformed into a twisting and corrupted weapon of cruel destruction. Kor Magron strode forth and wreaked terrible slaughter upon the Imperial defenders of Rhodax. Soon after, Rhodax was declared a Dead World, by the proscribed orders of the Inquisition, drifting lifeless in the void of space. A mute witness to the fury and hate of Kor Megron, the Reaper of Rhodax.
