Some believe that he now owns more of the Kabalites' souls than they do themselves.Cronos Parasite Engines - "The Time Thieves" - Maeloch Xholl is always accompanied by at least one Cronos Parasite Engine, its bulky form drifting at his shoulder and bathing him in waves of stolen life-force.Talos Pain Engines - "The Masochites" - The Haemonculus Ancients of the Prophets of Flesh are particularly skilled in the art of creating Talos Pain Engines.
