Also known as Dark Apostle Marduk
Homeworld: Colchis
Marduk of Colchis is a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers who commanded the 34th Host and later sat on Sicarus’s Dark Council. He rose within the Legion through the Brotherhood, a faction within the Word Bearers, and served as First Acolyte to Jarulek before succeeding to the command of the 34th Host.
His advancement followed the death of Jarulek, who was killed by a Necron lord in a tomb on Tanakreg. Marduk departed the tomb with the Nexus Arrangement and the Accursed Crozius. One of these artefacts could confine star systems within warp storms; he employed it, lost it, and nonetheless secured a place on Sicarus’s Dark Council. At the Boros Gate he allowed Grey Knights to take Grand Apostle Ekodas, undermined a plot by Kor Phaeron’s faction of the Brotherhood, and returned to Erebus’s following with his loyalty apparently intact.
Marduk summons daemons without the choir customarily employed for the purpose, and he perceives numerous possible futures simultaneously. He preaches from the Infidus Diabolus, and the substance of his sermons is consistently that a superior should be overthrown.
