—Last words of a Space Wolf Liutenant before Choc’al interrupts him and shoots him in the head with his Combi-bolter.
**Choc'al Crem** is a Chaos Sorcerer devoted to the Chaos God Tzeentch. Through daemonic pacts and millennia of arcane research, this powerful adherent of the God of Change has plagued the galaxy with his presence. Through his carefully honed powerful temporal magics, he is able to vanish, seemingly at will, only to reappear, his combi-bolter blazing, ambushing his unsuspecting foes. This makes it incredibly difficult to strike Choc'al in battle.

## History

The origins of Choc'al Crem are mostly unknown, heretical records show that his name has been used before by a legionnaire of the Thousand Sons pre-heresy legion, but the records seem to have been tampered by unknown forces, making it so that his tale before the events M36 are mostly a mystery to all.

However, his untampered records have began in ???.M??, when he volunteered to become the pawn of Thaddeus The Flesh Smith, an former apothecary of the Emperor's children, after having followed him from the shadows during the period of time when he was searching for the foretoken.

### Participation on Thaddeus' search for the Foretoken

During an unknown epoch, a rumour began to spread around the unnamed chaos warbands of the Eye of terror, they spoke of a chaos apothecary who seeked a myth from his own hallucinations, the Foretoken. But while some laughed and joked of such apothecary being merely a mindless fool, someone in the shadows heard of such warrior, and decided to begin following his trail, not for glory, pride or bloodlust, but rather because the millennia he had spent on this universe were mindless and boring.

He followed the marine's trail for many decades, getting closer to his target by each year, discovering things such as his past, his name, and even his appearance and revolt against his own legion, the Emperor's children, something which made the mysterious sorcerer chuckle from time to time, it reminded him of himself when he rebelled against Ahriman's exile, and became an exile much like his own idol.

His search came at an end at the same time the apothecary's search came to an end, for after locating where the apothecary had crash landed, Choc'al stole a hijacked ship and crash landed on top of his target's ship, which was also a hijacked ship. After the mysterious sorcerer exited the ship about to explode, he introduced himself as Choc'al to the apothecary, the apothecary however quickly began to accuse Choc'al of stalking him into the planet, which the sorcerer quickly explained he actually was stalking him for more than half of his journey for finding the Foretoken. After a short exchange of plenty of accusations and hateful words being sent to the sorcerer, Thaddeus stood infront of the fortress' gates for more then one day, all the while Choc'al made a campfire around the two hijacked ships, awaiting to see if Thaddeus' search was fruitless or not.

After 27 hours passed, the gates opened, and a figure exited the gates, it told Thaddeus he would have to slay a Chimera to join the foretoken, and as Thaddeus began heading off to hunt the mighty beast, Choc'al decided he too would slay a Chimera, so he could also join this mysterious chaos warband.

### Joining the Foretoken

Choc'al did not use any attempt to hide himself or his psychic signature in hopes of alarming one of those beasts as fast as possible, since he did not wish to waste his time wandering a barren daemon world when the chance to enter a bastion with other marines is only a kill away, and quickly he finds himself his foe, who pounces towards him from the treetops of a mutated tree, but as the beast lands, Choc'al quickly teleports into the treetops above and uses the time which the beast takes to climb the tree to see what are the surroundings and if he could kill this beast without wasting more then a clip, and after teleporting back down as the beast reaches the top, he confirms to himself as a devilish grin forms behind his helm.

The beast attempts its best to deal a blow to the traitor, yet its speed is no match against the spit at the laws of physics that Choc'al commits every time he teleports meters away from him, it infuriates the beast due to its tactics, but it keeps going as it notices that the sorcerer has to take longer and longer pauses between the teleports as the chase goes on. But as the ninth day of the hunt arrives , Choc'al atlast finds the end of the forest, behind him was a ravine whose bottom was filled with leeches and gigantic insects, awaiting for prey to fall into the chasm he looks at his back and forms a new plan to slay the beast.

So as the chimera notices this as the end of the chase, it begins slowly walking towards the marine, regaining its lost energy as it stops panting and begins to salivate from its massive gaping maw, Choc'al begins to act irrationally, shooting at the ground and cursing its name with so many cuss words that even a herald of Slaanesh would be impressed at their creativity, the beast is not intimidated and leaps forward towards the sorcerer, but before it can revalue its action, the sorcerer rolls forward to dodge its leap and as the beast turns around he shoots one more time in the cracked ground, making it crack under the weight of the chimera, and as it screams of rage and fury, Choc'al laughs at the soon to be corpse's fall but it does a last leap towards the marine, and gets his jaw around his left arm and crunches it with raw brute strength. Although groaning from the pain, Choc'al uses the chunk of meat that is still attached to his arm and shoves it deep into the chimera's eye, atlast making her groan in pain and let loose of its grip on the ledge, thus falling miserably to its doom.

Although tired and with headaches, Choc'al awaits some hours before regaining his link with the warp and managing to quickly teleport from the bottom of the ravine, where he took what was left of the beast's skull, and back into the ledge, where it sat for another hour looking at the horizon, contemplating his own existence in this dreadful universe.

His calm moment was interrupted when he heard the sounds of Thaddeus' footsteps in the nearby area, Choc'al then put the beast's skull under his only arm left, alongside his storm-bolter, and began walking alongside Thaddeus, who constantly bolstered about how he defeated the beast without losing a single limb. it was in this moment of inflating ego, that an idea rose in Choc'al's mind, as much as the apothecary's ego was bloated and overfilled, perfect for attracting angry enemies on his way to kill him, and even more perfect for making sure Choc'al's life would never be as stagnant as the millenniums before.

### The pact

After joining the Foretoken, Choc'al spent most of his off-mission time to studying Thaddeus, his mannerisms, his tools, his servants, and specially his temper, who was easy to evoke. Seeing this as an opportunity to strike, Choc'al constantly offered to make a pact with Thaddeus, ensuring such that if he signed such pact he would have to worry no longer about any would be attackers trying to take his position as Black Butcher of the foretoken, Thaddeus of course never accepted the offer, but thanks to many attempts in Choc'al's part, and also plenty of failed assasination attempts, eventually Thaddeus signed the pact with Choc'al.

What the Black Butcher did not realize however, is that the pact was not just a piece of paper, but a pact of eternal loyalty, where Choc'al was eternally bound to be loyal and guard Thaddeus whenever he demands it, if Choc'al ever breaks his loyalty to Thaddeus, his powers will be lost for all eternity.

## Appearance

His skin is completely white, as for his face, rarely any have seen it, is indeed also white, with a crooked nose and eyes that are said to resemble jewelry. As for his hair, he seems to have none of it, saying that hair has no use on the midst of battle.

Thanks to his service to Tzeentch, he was gifted with horns that resemble no known animal, and his left arm had been mutated into a medium sized tentacle, with thorns on its sides and a claw at its end, gifted to him by a wrong spell which caused him to have a better weapon at his side, but a worse hand on his life.

## Personality

His personality is different from most Sorcerers of Tzeentch, choosing to not boast of his spells and wargear, and instead being quite friendly to forces of the Chaos Gods, including those who worship Nurgle. But whenever he is deployed into combat he stops being friendly and usually just teleports in front of the enemy and shoots his head with a volley of Inferno bolt rounds until all that is left is what was once a skull.

## Abilities and Traits

The sorcerer chose to learn the ways of the cult of magic in his unrecorded training, and mastered the specific art of teleportation, using it to teleport himself and others from places on a whim, or even just teleporting the upper half of his enemies into the warp, but these uses of his abilities cost him much of his stamina, so he guards them for specific moments or when the target's death is a priority.

But in cases of extreme danger, Choc'al can summon forth from the depths of the warp a mighty engine of chaos, a possessed Rhino armoured personnel carrier. this armoured vehicle has a crew of Blue Horrors within it, which once emerged from the warp, they heed to Choc'al's command and drive him and his squad through any wasteland or battlefield until taken down. The tank also possesses a vox broadcaster within it, which plays an ancient song of Terra known as Bird of Liberty, which makes all who hear it be blessed with an improved morale and will to fight any foe.

## Equipment

A belt of many melta bombs hangs around his waist, saved for special moments when his combi-bolter cannot pierce a foe's armour. amongst those melta bombs one is false, he uses the decoy to scare his enemies into taking cover and to prank his battle brothers from the foretoken.

### Armour

His armour is as old as him, said to have been with him ever since his first deployment, of course, that could be a lie which he forged. But as for the armour's appearance, it very much looks like a rubric's, only major difference being the deeper shade of blue and the corruption seals of Tzeentch marked the shoulder pads.

### Used Weapons

During his unrecorded service to Tzeentch, Choc'al has earned multiple weapons for his deployments, yet only one he recalls as being truly of his wargear or forged for him.

#### Frostbite Combi-Bolter

This infernus Combi-bolter had been earned by Choc'al during and unrecorded event, possessed by a blue horror of Tzeentch, it causes the bolter to shoot explosive bolts which freezes the flesh wound with a Tzeentchian ice, and in lesser enemies the bullets could even stop his body by overcooling his neural systems. Choc’al uses this weapon in almost all of his deployments, only choosing not to do so if in the foretoken's halls.

## Relations

Although seemingly friendly, Choc'al remembers of many things, and always makes sure to remember all who have wronged him or helped him, whether they know of it or not.

### Friends/Allies

Thaddeus The Flesh Smith: Master and possibly friend of Choc'al, he is the only one which has complete control over him, thanks to a pact made by the two many millennia ago.

### Rivals/Enemies

* **Thousand Sons** Legion: Choc'al owns much of his knowledge to his old legion, but refuses to acknowledge of their victories and losses in public, cursing them for allowing the exile of Ahriman, the champion of Tzeentch.
