Tenebrus

Tenebrus is a Black Legion sorcerer recorded in connection with the Arks of Omen era of the 41st Millennium.

The Black Legion is the foremost of the Traitor Legions under Abaddon the Despoiler, and its sorcerers serve as the psychic and ritual specialists of its warbands. The Arks of Omen campaign began when Abaddon entered into an alliance with the Daemon Vashtorr, who transformed captured space hulks into vast warships to be used across the Great Rift and in the wider warzones bordering the Eye of Terror. Tenebrus is placed within this period and within the Black Legion’s wider war effort. The material available to this encyclopedia does not establish Tenebrus’s origins, former Legion, rank within a warband, or individual campaigns, and this entry does not supply them.

Tenebrus’s standing is therefore that of a minor named figure of the Black Legion rather than one of Abaddon’s principal lieutenants, and the character’s present status is recorded as unknown. The natural contemporaries on the Orrery graph are Abaddon the Despoiler, who directed the campaign; Vashtorr the Arkifane, who built the Arks and pursued the Key to its conclusion at the Battle of Idolatros; and the other Chaos commanders assigned to individual Arks, including sorcerers of the Thousand Sons and warlords of other Traitor Legions. Readers seeking the course of the campaign should consult the Arks of Omen and Black Legion entries, which this account is intended to supplement.
