Archaon, Lord of the End Times

It is perhaps fitting that the greatest threat to the Empire came not from a Kurgan Warlord nor a Beastmen Chief, but from one of its own. He was once a Templar of Sigmar, born a scant few years after Magnus the Pious's Great War Against Chaos. The Templars, known by most as the Witch Hunters, were sworn to protect the Empire from the threat of the Undead, foul greenskins and, of course, the lure of Chaos.

There are a great many books, teachings, treatises, and grimoires that are kept within the Great Cathedral of Sigmar in Altdorf. These resources are to be studied by the wise and the pure for ways to combat the menaces that gnaw away at the Empire and its people without end. Some texts, however, are so evil and tainted that none should ever read them, and there are few who actually can.

One such volume is the Celestine Book of Divination. Contained within this hefty volume is the carefully recorded ranting of Necrodomo the Insane. From within this tome, a young Templar learned the secrets of the world, including the truth about the gods and their existence. The knowledge was too much for a mortal mind, and he fled the temple screaming at the gods, calling them liars. The once faithful defender of the Empire had learned a terrifying truth and his sense of betrayal quickly became a thirst for vengeance against the one who had deluded him: Sigmar.

So began the legend of Archaon, the one who will destroy the world.
