Ghargatuloth - Thalassocres: As one of the most powerful beings of his kind, Ghargatuloth is able to exist simultaneously both within the physical realm and the Warp. So while his physical body roamed the galaxy, Ghargatuloth's essence was able to heed his master's call when the Changer of Ways, the Chaos God Tzeentch, called for a conclave of his most devoted servants on the world of Thalassocres. These events roughly took place in the 38th Millennium, some two thousand standard years before Inquisitrice Ligea and Justicar Alaric would discover Ghargatuloth's taint upon the Trail of Saint Evisser. Historical data show a notable increase in civil unrest, mass hysteria and daemonic possession at that time, without humanity's protectors ever connecting the two events. As discovered by Ligea, it was the gathered might of the Conclave of Thalassocres that wreaked havoc on humanity's collective psyche.Within the Warp, the power of Tzeentch had grown strong enough to eclipse that of the other Gods of Chaos, and like the toll of a gigantic bell, Tzeentch's call gathered his followers to the world of Thalassocres, a planet deep within the Immaterium that embodied the concept of change. Every solar hour, Thalassocres' continents rearranged themselves, great mountains suddenly spilling forth from seas of nitrogen before fading away or turning into thick forest of strange growth or plains of multicoloured grass. The armies of the Changer of Ways assembled there, settling old scores or creating new rivalries as one by one the Greater Daemons that were princes of their kind arrived. As his generals competed, Tzeentch bestowed gifts upon his Lords of Change, ignoring the most able and rewarding the least gifted with boons that in centuries to come would lead to their fall. At the same time, the Lesser Daemons, Screamers and Horrors fled before the might of those ancient beings such as Bokor the Wildsman, Maleficos of the Burning Hands and Themiscyron the Star-Dragon. Last to arrive was old Master Darkeye and Ghargatuloth himself, for they hid amongst Mankind and tormented it invisibly. With their courts of daemons gathered around, these favoured few awaited the revelations their God would see fit to grant them.When Tzeentch finally spoke, Thalassocres was devastated. The Chaos God stripped the planet of its crust and mantle, reducing it to a shoal of drifting continents revolving around a single fiery core like a miniature star-system. The weakest of the remaining daemons were thrown off, hurled across the Warp until only the strongest remained. To this inner circle, Tzeentch spoke of impossible things, of things that were and things yet to come, of the secret skeins that held together reality and the shifting destinies of entire species yet to be found or revealed. To the lesser of their number, those of a more bellicose nature, these concepts communicated little more than desolation and hatred and they revelled in these visions. In contrast, the mightiest generals of the Lord of Change glimpsed visions of possible futures they were to enact or to avoid, plots they would enact both within the Warp and the material realm. Some of the weakest Greater Daemons were even destroyed by the visions, unable to fully embrace or comprehend the divinations of the Changer of Ways, but a quite different fate awaited Ghargatuloth. The Prince of a Thousand Faces fully immersed himself in Tzeentch's message, bathing in the revelations that streamed from the God of Change in a raging torrent of white fire and pure information. Ghargatuloth gorged himself on his patron's knowledge as the other daemons looked on in awe, hatred and jealousy. Many hoped that Ghargatuloth would be destroyed, but Tzeentch had other plans for his favoured son. For days and days, even measured in the strange timescape of the Warp, Ghargatuloth received the revelations of Tzeentch. The strain on even his inhuman mind was so powerful that in the physical realm his body shuddered. When finally this communion ended, a thousand new faces opened their eyes and cast their gaze upon the Warp and beyond, for now Ghargatuloth was ready to enact the will of Tzeentch.
