Daemonhost - Notable Daemonhosts: Cherubael - Cherubael was once a Daemon Prince, worshipped as a god on the Feral World of Clanar II. When Inquisitor Quixos freed the Clanars from Cherubael's domination, he managed to enslave the creature into the body of one of the warriors. Cherubael served Quixos for many solar decades, until finally he was banished back to the Warp by the intervention of other, more puritanical, Inquisitors. However, he was never totally free, and once more he has been drawn back into a mortal body, serving Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn.Hedrodal - Also known as the "Twice-bound Daemonhost." Created by the false prophets of the Pilgrims of Hayte using the unwilling body of the fallen Interrogator Cripon, Hedrodal is a foul thing. A long purple snaketongue flicks from between its grinning teeth, glowing eyes burn with an icy light and its chain-crossed flesh is covered in rolling eyes and glistening boils. Everywhere Hedrodal passes there is the sound of nameless things scuttling, and lurking shadows of horrible visage can be seen inhabiting the darkness around it.Kapeth-Shem - Kapeth-Shem is a Daemonhost that was created by the Xanthite Inquisitor Selech of the Ordo Malleus. Having absorbed every scrap of knowledge that he could find, Inquisitor Selech determined that his most loyal servant, Imperial Guardsman Kapeth, would be the first to receive the honour of "illumination." Despite every one of the Inquisitor's precautions, the Daemon had tricked him. It was not cast out, but lurked within the very deepest recesses of Kapeth's soul. When Inquisitor Selech announced the process complete and his servant cleansed, Shem regained control of the vessel, transforming it into a hideous parody of a man, and struck his summoner down. The thing that became known as Kapeth-Shem slaughtered Inquisitor Selech as well as his Banishers, and broke free of its bonds. Three dozen servants of the Ordo Malleus died before the Daemonhost was finally cornered and bound, deep within the Inquisitor's fastness in the wastes of Scintilla.Suvfaeras - Like all Daemonhosts, Suvfaeras is a foul and unholy thing, the very existence of which defies nature. Suvfaeras is unique in that, added to the silver chains and occult brands that bind its host body, charms and talismans of xenos origin adorn its blasphemous form. It is impossible to say if these objects were intended for such use or the Heretics that bound Suvfaeras repurposed them. While a Daemon may on rare occasion deign to inhabit the flesh of a mortal indefinitely, such a state is akin to imprisonment for most denizens of the Warp. Indeed, Suvfaeras was unwittingly created in its current form by parties unknown who clearly possessed powerful and damnable knowledge. Upon escaping its stasis prison, Suvfaeras was initially weakened, perhaps an after-effect of the psychic choir that kept him subdued. Ever spiteful and bloodthirsty, its first act was to slaughter its wardens. Now, it prowls the undertunnels of Hive Desoleum on the world of Desoleum, slowly regaining its strength and plotting against its captors. Even if this body is destroyed, the daemon within remembers every slight, and surely will return to revisit its vengeance.The Burning One - The Burning One is one of the most feared Daemonhosts in the whole Calixis Sector. The name of the Acolyte who became the Burning One is lost, as is the name of the Daemon who resides within him. What is known is that he was created by the Radical Inquisitor Kal Xorn as a way to store vast amounts of forbidden lore without tainting the minds of his personal retinue. Originally thrice-bound, as only his mental faculties were required, the Burning One at some point acquired the knowledge of how to break his conditioning despite his inability to break the wards binding him inside his human host. The Daemonhost immediately slew Inquisitor Xorn and several of his retinue whose habits and weaknesses he had studied over a course of Terran years. It is believed that his first victim was a young Sanctioned Psyker who had been enticed to assist in his escape.Karnak Zul - The Daemonhost known as Karnak Zul has long been a slave to the Inquisition. Bound to mortal flesh more than 400 Terran years ago by Inquisitor Renthor, late master to Interrogator Crane, he was used for centuries as a tool to hunt down Heretics and rebels. Like all Daemons, Zul knows well how to bide his time and while he chafed under the shackles of Renthor, he secretly plotted his revenge. Finally, after almost two centuries, his chance arrived in the form of a weak-willed Enginseer and a perilous emergency Warp jump. Manipulating events Zul was able to cripple the starship Chains of Judgement and escape his cell. His plans for freedom, however, were dashed during the chaos that followed, when, even as he struck down Inquisitor Renthor, he was trapped anew. For two standard centuries now he has languished in a warded circle while the vessel drifts aimless in the Warp.
