Araghast the Pillager
Blood Ravens,hear me!I am Araghast the Pillager!-Araghast to the Blood Ravens
Araghast the Pillager, Lord Araghast or simply Araghast, was the Chaos Lord (Or more specifically, a Chaos Terminator Lord) leading a Black Legion War-band on Aurelia. Arrogant, bloodthirsty and very boastful and prone to taunt.
Chaos Rising
He invades Aurelia. Inciting rebellions and incursions and sending out various strike forces to attack Imperial worlds on Aurelia. On one of the missions,he is seen, along with Eliphas,watching as the blood ravens escape. Araghast states that he allowed them to escape because killing them will now will lose the value of the traitor within their ranks (A rather rare and sneaky feat for one who serves A Gigantic Bloodthirsty Maniac who has a fetish for Skulls). He later challenges the Blood Ravens to a battle (Which he soon learns is a mistake he will not live to learn from). Nearing death, he calls for Eliphas to open a portal. But Eliphas, being the treasonous, backstabbing, deceptive, opportunist and cowardly dog that he is, leaves him to his fate.
About Araghast
Ok,what do we know of him?Lets first start with his personality and attitudes.
He is a devotee of Khorne (Just like Carron and crull,but to a lesser degree),and like all devotee's and servants of Khorne,he's (But again,to a lesser degree) a bloodthirsty maniac.As stated above,he is very boastful and claims to ravage a thousand worlds (Which is totally badass....if it were proven).Again stated above,he is prone to taunt.He constantly mocks the Blood Ravens by calling them "Lowly Lick-Spittles","Dead and Useless as the Empra",and insulting them further by calling them "Brothers".He seems to treat Eliphas quite well.Though like all Chaos Lords,he still treats him like a lowly,defenseless,dependent,bootlicker.
Trivia
- Many fans,at first, thought him as Eliphas, as he is voiced by Paul Dobson (Who was the original voice of Eliphas during Dark Crusade).
- Of all the other previous Chaos Lords (Bale, Crull, Carron)he is almost equal to Eliphas' badassery.The only thing negative about him is his habit of making fatal mistakes. Like challenging the Force Commander and his squad which resulted in getting his ass whooped. Another is trusting Eliphas to oversee the teleportations which resulted in Eliphas betraying him.
