Horax and some of his Berzerkers, from a recent raid in the Melba Sector.

History 
The Warmaster of the blood lords known as Horax was originally a Commander of the Black Legion and was in Abbadon's High Council. During his years in the Balau sector he always had a hidden Grudge against his mentor Warmaster Kai, as Lord Abbadon always favoured him. On the 13 Moon Skhalax Warmaster Abbadon Ordered Warmaster Horax to Take command of his 69th Black Legion Company and to go to the rich mines of Corona in the Melbas sector.

Upon reaching the sector he started waging war after war against the enemies of chaos and commonly inferior commanders. After a successful capture of the Corona mines he received a vision that it is he not Abbadon that will sit on the Throne on Terra, and that the key for this would be the production and the silent take over of the Black Legion Company that was given to him. One by one, each commander that was loyal to Abbadon died mysteriously. The young Warmaster also made a pact with the Lord of Murder, which was against the will and the orders of the Black Legion. Upon this pact he was risen to the status of Daemon prince and from there he and his loyal Lords fought a war against the remaining loyal Black Legion marines. His takeover was swift and bloody, and not a word was able to leave the Melbas sector to other black legion Commanders.

After the bloody affair he raised a new Order. The Order of the Blood God and the unity of the Army of the undivided. He gave wealth and power to the Marines who remain undivided for their loyalty and Blood for the Lord of murder. Upon this a the Order of the Blood Lords were created. A Legion base on industry and murder. His Fame grew fast in the new sector and with out a real challenger he ruled supreme, he has created more powerful allies - from the Orks to renegade Imperial Guardsmen - they all now submit to the cause of “blood for gold” and no army shall oppose its will to dominate. Now unopposed in the Melba Warmaster Horax has called him self Emperor Horax Master of the Blood Lords.
