Malakim Phoros was the Lord and Master of the Lamenters Space Marine Chapter, also known as the 'Lord of Ruin' and the 'Watcher of the Deeps.' Phoros is the exemplar of his brethren's grief and resilience. A figure of awe and reverence for his Chapter, Phoros struggled to contain the Black Rage that permeates his Chapter's soul. In battle he was a fierce sight to behold, his control slipping as he went to the brink of the black rage several times only to pull himself back from the abyss. He willingly followed Lufgt Huron and his renegade Astral Claws into the Secession of the Badab System which devolved into the infamous conflict known as the Badab War from 904.M41-912.M41. Phoros was believed slain during the destruction of his battle barge when the Lamenters were battered into submission by the Minotaurs Chapter. Rumours persist though, that he has since rejoined his brethren in exile, but such stories cannot be confirmed.
