Fleeing from the defeat of his sister Lethis on Lehron IV, Durizael Depravum managed to gather what was left of the crumbling Depravum empire and fled the Dark City to the death world of Kharcis Prime which lies on the very borders of the southern galaxy. Having lost his face and much of his sanity Durizael vows he will take revenge on the cruel universe: all his life he had cowered in the shadow of his sister as a failure to his family, but no more! The Fleshless Palace of Kharcis Prime will soon be adorned with a thousand bloody tokens of vengeance as the skin is torn from the living bags of meat who dared to wrong him and hung as tapestries for the Faceless Archon to enjoy.
The Saga of the Depravum continues...

| The Skin-Lord of Kharcis Prime |
"With the fall of one empire shall rise another: this one clothed in the bloodied rags of flesh hewn from the backs of those so arrogant to believe I had forgotten their betrayal. I shall have my vengeance, and it shall be the thousand skins of my enemies paraded as banners before my throne!"
Insane Archon of the Scions of the Skin-Lord and last living heir of Patriarch Venimthrax Depravum the Great; Durizael Depravum has chosen to take the reins of his own destiny and in the ashes of his sister's empire has launched a crusade of vengeance across the galaxy.
Leading his fanatical reavers from the death world of Kharcis Prime he has slain foe and kinsmen alike in a campaign of terror against the Archons of the Dark City who have earn his ire through some real or imagined betrayal. Refusing to have his face regenerated and wielding the great sword Meat-Render, he presents a ghastly and fearsome image to his enemies which all too well reminds them of the horrific fate he has in store for them...
An Army Reborn
Admiral Karzein Depravum the Fleshbinder
 |
| The Lord-Admiral of the Flaying Fleet |
Durizael's cousin and loyal servent, Karzein is commander of the Skin-Lord's raiding fleet. It was Karzein who managed to regroup large portions of the Kabal of the Immortal Sin during the catastrophe on Lehron IV, secure the broken form of Durizael and lead them to Kharcis Prime whilst the archon was incapacitated. For this great service he has not only remained Durizael's admiral but is now the first amongst his courtiers; afforded luxuries second only to the Faceless Archon himself. An imposing figure with a reputation for a skill in violence matched only by a Succubus, he rules with fear and expects nothing but total obedience from his men.
"I said this would be the triumph of our family. That I would see generations of our Trueborn rule the stars as hungry gods. I was wrong, and now you forsake the future dreamt of by your ancestors for vengeance born of a mental fever. I will follow you Skin-Lord, but only whilst your blood is that of my kinsman and family."

| Master of the Ebon Hand |
Following the fall of Lethis Depravum on Lehron IV the master of the Coven of the Ebon Hand was slain and the Haemonculi fell into chaos. From this anarchy rose Aringrax whom had previously ran the mere day-to-day business of the coven. He offered the coven order and stability if he was made master of the coven itself, the alternative was a swift death at the hands of his pet Talos Pain Engine. Aringrax thus ascended to the power he had craved for so long, killing any who got in his way. Knowing he had many enemies within Commoragh who would seek to usurp him; Aringrax chose to take his coven into exile with the Skin-Lords and became the Faceless Archon's second-in-command. Paranoid and living in the shadow of his long-dead masters he seeks to build and triumph above all his predecessors. He will succeed where they failed and become the greatest Haemonculus in all history! For Aringrax failure is not an option.
"I can taste it in the air, the sweet elixir of battle. Blood. Sweat. Fear. Pain. I drink it in through every pore of my skin and feast upon it with my hungry eyes. I live for the violence of our age; if only so that I can dance as a gore-drenched God amongst the stars revealing in my own murderous prowess."
