  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The Warmonger is quite popular, despite having a smaller role compared to his peers.
    • Many readers considered Varnus’s POV as someone who was forced into the slavery of chaos to be the most interesting part of the ‘Dark Apostle’ novel.
  • Nightmare Fuel: All the descriptions of Varnus' predicaments are this.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: One reason why this trilogy isn’t as remembered or talked about compared to other novel series starring chaos marines such as Black Legion or Night Lords, as while those series starred full-on VillainProtagonists, those characters still had sympathetic qualities and motivations that made readers grow on the characters. Marduk and Co. on the other hand are fully on board with chaos worship and have few sympathetic qualities in comparison.
