Archived: Khannibal the Archlunatic

Khannibal, known also as the Archlunatic and the Mad Prophet, is a Champion and Daemon Prince of the Chaos God Hyster, and the Supreme Chaos Lord of Madness Undivided, the amalgamation of Chaos Warbands which bow to the whims of the Mad God. Feared and despised by both the Imperium and the Forces of Chaos as a turncoat and madman, the Archlunatic never ceases in his War for Madness.

Though now he may not seem it, Khannibal was one of the first sons of the Imperium, and is one of the last remaining Thunder Warriors. A stalwart servant of the Emperor, his loyalty was shaken when the Emperor discarded the brutish Thunder Warriors in favour of his Astartes. Fleeing with the help of the warp, Khannibal spent years trying to comprehend why his spiritual liege would abandon him and his kin. Eventually, he succumbed to madness; driven to insanity by his father's abandonment. It was then that he found solace in the arms of the Lord of Confusion.

After defeating wave after wave of cursed and incomprehensibly mad foes, the Mad Lord earned a respect for the Thunder Warrior, offering him vengeance on the Imperium which wronged him by taking up the mantle of Archlunatic, and spreading the worship of Hyster across the Stars. After many a successful campaign, the Champion found himself promoted; no longer bound to his dying body, Khannibal was elevated to Daemon Prince.
