- Outside-Context Problem: For Ruby at least, while she's helping the Arbanian Janissaries fight off an Ork WAAAGH! on the remote planet of Kanrilla, Abaddon is waging his Thirteenth Black Crusade against the Imperial World of Cadia. It's the destruction of Cadia that causes the Great Rift to expand across the galaxy which opens many Imperial worlds, including Kanrilla, to an invasion of Chaos daemons.
Greater Daemons And Demon Princes
Be'lakor
Be'lakor, the Dark Master, First Demon Prince

- Villain Takes an Interest: Becomes very interested when he learns about the existence of Ruby Rose's ability to permanently destroy demons with her Silver Eye powers.
- You Have Failed Me: He disposes of Xog'drithuuch after the legions of demons they brought with them are destroyed by Ruby's Silver Eye powers and Xog'drithuuch, themselves, are banished back to the Immaterium.
Xog'drithuuch
- Compelling Voice: Can force anyone to stop moving, feel excruciating pain, or even drop dead by just saying the word.
- Killed Off for Real: Their soul is destroyed by Be'lakor after he learns about Ruby Rose.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He nearly has Ruby dead to rights by crushing her spirit with the endless press of voices they can produce, but when they(by accident or intention), uses Yang, Blake, and Weiss' voices to speak words Ruby knows they would never say, that realization brings her the resolve necessary to unlock her Silver Eyes.
- Taken for Granite: Has most of their body petrified after Ruby uses her Silver Eyes against them.
- Too Many Mouths: Their body is literally covered in mouths.
- Voice of the Legion: Whenever they speak, many voices can be heard speaking at once.
