!! Malus Darkblade



[[BastardBastard Bastard son]] of Lurhan, Vaulkhar of Hag Graef, and the sorceress Eldire, Malus Darkblade is considered the lowest of his highborn family. Driven by a ruthless ambition to surpass his kin, Malus embarks upon a quest deep into the [[GrimUpNorth Chaos Wastes]] in search of an ancient power - only for said power to actually be the vile daemon T'zarkan, who possesses the dark elf and delivers an ultimatum: Recover five artifacts to release the daemon from its prison, or forfeit his soul forever.

* AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler: Malus is the Scourge, destined to wield the [[ArtifactOfDoom Warpsword of Khaine]] and bring about the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Time of Blood]].

When he rewrites the story for the novels, He changes him to a Daemon of Slaanesh, maybe to fit better in the Dark Elves background and their relationship with the Dark Prince of Chaos of the main game.

When they teleport, much to Malus's fury Urial brings six of his personal guard with him.
