WARHAMMER LORE: The First Daemon Prince BELAKOR

hark well as i tell you the tale of bellacor first damned may his forgotten true name be forever cursed in his arrogance he drew the gaze of the chaos gods to this world bringing damnation upon us all [Music] bellacore first damned dark master the king of shadows the first of his kind cold calculating callous cruel a scorned figure whose schemes have affected most of the significant events in history since the beginning of time a name so ancient that not even the wisest and oldest of scholars can recall all of the terrible deeds enacted out by his hand bellacor is truly one of the most ancient and mysterious figures in all the law both in warhammer fantasy and warhammer 40k it is known from tatted scriptures and folk tales that bellacor was raised from mortality by the sheer combined will of the chaos gods what obscure deeds or what bargain he made to achieve this is unknown being the first demon prince to ever exist each chaos entity poured part of their powers into his creation and because of this bellacor's fate and loyalty have forever been influenced and manipulated by the ruinous powers beholden to each of them equally the first mortal that pledged his soul to the chaos gods recreated him in their image that of the first demon prince the ruinous powers offered bellacore greater and greater power to barter a deal for commanding their armies and enacting their will but the first demon prince deceived them he took their gifts or shall we say curses in disguise and then fled back to the mortal world without fulfilling his bargains with the chaos entities carving out a dark legacy that would span over centuries with the first of the damned unleashed and without a one true master each of the chaos gods fought over bellacor selfishly eventually they realized the folly of combining their powers into a single vessel of evil as bellacor proved to be uncontrollable never swearing his allegiance to any one of them as bellacor fought and spread his dominion in the mortal plains darkness followed and the influence of chaos grew stronger and stronger throughout the world as time passed many aspirants and champions of the dark forces emerged many of them worthy of the gifts of the chaos gods each of the chaos gods raised their own demon princes in an attempt to create their most loyal subject and in turn they would challenge and oppose the first of the damned on many occasions where he reigned unchallenged before there were more and more challenges to fight as time passed what's more with each new servant of darkness that was granted new powers or gifts bellacor felt his own powers diminish as the gifts bestowed upon him were stripped away and granted to more loyal servants according to the desires of each chaos god but bellacor remained the strongest and most powerful of them moving in the shadows and manipulating history to further his own unknowable agenda or maybe to enact what seemed to be the will of the ruiner's powers upon the universe [Music] as bellacor fought other challenger armies of chaos comprised of mortal men and creatures not from this world he cemented his power but this allowed the high elves of ulthuan the chance to better defend themselves during the terrible event known as the great catastrophe where chaos energies flowed freely and abundantly into the world almost drowning it forever in madness despair and total annihilation with the forces of chaos divided the high elves took the opportunity to marshall one last desperate attempt to stem the tide of chaos the creation of the great vortex that would siphon magic from the world with the eventual creation of the great vortex paid in blood and sacrifice the dark powers were drawn back into the immaterium along with all creatures made from the raw stuff of chaos including the first of the damned himself time passed nobody knows how much as time itself in the warp is ever-changing and something impossible to describe but it is believed that the king of shadows essence drifted through the realm of chaos indefinitely until he beseeched to ruin his powers once again to send him into the mortal plains to do their will but the chaos gods were not deceived this time and they gave him a fit punishment unlike other beings of his nature the first of the dark princes would leave the realm of chaos not at his own will but only at the dark god's wishes what was worse he only was allowed to enter the mortal planes to be the ones sent to crown the mortal destined to become the ever chosen of chaos under this cruel condition bellacor has materialized into the world to lead entire armies under the command of the ever chosen of chaos only to be banished to the immaterium once more whenever the mortal champion is slain in battle and the ascendant of chaos stops in the mortal world no one can truly tell for how long this has happened it is a torment that goes on and on for the first of the damned it is believed that twelve times now has bellicore fulfilled his twisted destiny as the harbringer of doom each time attempting ultimately in vain to escape his preordained fate nobody truly knows bellacore's true intentions or his motives and his origins are seemingly lost to history coming from fragments of legends rumors and tales or through the discovery of forbidden law in ancient crypts primitive drawings or statues found in the caves of dead worlds often hint at bellacor's reign throughout the galaxy lurking in the darkness behind the rise and expansion of many mortal races but perhaps only one thing is barely understood by the scholars and psyches driven matt by studying felicle jealousy jealousy towards anyone or anything that can win the favor of the ruinous powers he has undermined and spoiled the schemes of the mortal and demonic servant of chaos for millennia however whether if this is his own true free will or if he is just an instrument in the great game between the dark gods none truly knows perhaps not even bellacor does for he is probably blindly chained to the eternal machinations of the ruinous powers a thirst for pleasure and power ultimately drives the terrible actions of the first damned as he plots from behind his veil of lies and shadows bellacor chaos demon prince has no many different names he is a creature who wields unholy weapons and abilities and a figure who once commanded legions of unnatural things in more recent times it is rumored that belacor shadows the new champion of the ruinous powers abaddon the despoiler the demon prince has watched the prominent rise of abaddon and his subsequent fall to chaos manipulating the ebb and flow of history surrounding abaddon so that their fate would eventually cross even during abaddon's infamous black crusades through the galaxy in the grim dark future of the 41st millennium bellacor's actions have aided abaddon to rise in power and succeed in his terrible war but a deeper investigation reveals the possibility of darker motives behind his actions is bellacor plotting against abaddon in some way seeking to undermine the gods of chaos and claim power and the glory of the conquest for himself when the truth of bellacor's treachery will reveal itself is known only to the king of shadows himself when bellacor chooses to manifest his colossal physical form he strikes with the rending claws and the infamous blade of shadows a gigantic sword that shifts in and out of its shadowy and physical forms at a mere thought of its master as the blade blinks between solid and ethereal silhouette it can slice through scales flesh and armor with ease while the prey is petrified in complete horror it is unknown whether the blade of shadows is one of the many gifts bestowed upon bellacor by the ruinous powers before his fall from their grace or if it is part of his malignant form the first of the damned is a terrifying opponent on the battlefield he flickers in a constantly changing shadow of smoke and illusion for mortals they are sapped from their resolve as they fight against a formless ancient terror if one is caught within proximity with the first of the damned one can only hope for a quick death as he slices his victim in half with the blade of shadows and rakes with claws of powerful psychic energy through the meat of the mind exactly what bellacor and his winding plot seek to achieve in these uncertain times is like so much about the first demon prince unknown only time will tell and that time is nearly upon us he is the first the harbinger of doom where he treads the shadows right and the light flees in terror speak not his name [Music] you
