Krieg Acerbus
Daemon Prince, The Axemaster
Also known as The Axemaster
Homeworld: Nostramo
Krieg Acerbus, the Axemaster, was Curze's youngest chosen captain: tribal scars around the mouth, a power axe, and a courage Night Lords were not supposed to advertise. He wanted the inheritance while the Haunter was still talking about dying. Sahaal wanted a crown. Acerbus wanted the fear to be the point.
After Tsagualsa he kept a warband that became the largest Night Lords host in the galaxy, then wore daemonhood like a promotion. When Sahaal surfaced in M41, Acerbus answered the distress call for the Corona Nox and explained that Curze had only ever meant Sahaal to keep the seat warm.
He does not attend Legion reunions. Fear is not a tactic in his sermons. It is the harvest.
