Erebus
First Chaplain, Dark Apostle
Also known as First Chaplain of the Word Bearers
Homeworld: Colchis
Erebus is First Chaplain of the Word Bearers, the priest who put an athame in the Great Crusade and called the wound revelation. Colchis raised him. Davin’s moon is where he finished converting Horus.
He walked Lorgar’s path from Colchis theocracy into the Shadow Crusade that burned Calth, stood among the traitors at Isstvan V, and kept preaching through the Siege of Terra. Kor Phaeron shared the Legion’s corruption; Erebus claimed the credit for Horus. Lorgar wrote the books. Erebus sharpened the knife.
He still serves the Dark Gods as a Dark Apostle who treats betrayal as liturgy. The Heresy’s opening murder has his fingerprints. He has never apologised.
Colchis–Davin–Calth–Isstvan V–Terra is his map with Lorgar: homeworld faith, the moon that corrupted the Warmaster, Ultramar’s Shadow Crusade fire, the Massacre line, and the Palace war his sermon helped start.
