Argan’s unfaltering faith in the Mother of Inferno has turned him into a messianic figure revered by the Chaos Empire’s subjects, an antithesis to the Master of Darkness of old. His wretched new body is anything but an impediment to his fabled mastery of the essence of Darkness. Feared by allies and foes alike, he rules Uria’s sacred domain on Irdya with an iron fist, and delivers her command directly to the Chaos Warlord and the Iron Triad. And to those foolish few who may disobey his authority, the bleakest of fates awaits — for their sentence is to be stripped of their will and turned into mindless biomechanical creatures bound to unquestioningly serve their master for the rest of their lives.

Needless to say, absolutely no creature born from Irdya has ever confronted this man in battle and survived to tell the tale.
