The armies of the gods rally behind me, and it is by my will and by my sword that your weakling nations shall fall.' - Archaon, Lord of the End Times.Īrchaon was originally known as Diederick Kastner, a highly devout and zealous Templar of the Twin-Tailed Comet, born a scant few years after Magnus the Pious and the first Great War against Chaos. Though Diederick Kastner, the man who would in his despair take up the dreaded mantle of Archaon, was born as an Imperial in the province of Nordland, it was foretold in the Liber Caelistior, the dread book of divination penned by Necrodomo the Insane, that North and South would meet in the Everchosen's blood.Īnd indeed this was so for Archaon bears mixed Norscan and Nordlander heritage, his father having been a possessed champion from the Varg tribes who forced himself upon a cowering Imperial innocent during a raid that had seen his birth-village of Hargendorf burned to the ground in 2390 IC. History ' Fear me mortals, for I am the Anointed, the favoured Son of Chaos, the Scourge of the World.

1.4.1 The Death of the Wolf God (2527 IC).

In the climax of the End Times, Archaon battled the God-King Sigmar and brought about the final end of the Warhammer World as it was consumed by a tide of Chaos that unmade the very fabric of reality. With his quest finally complete, Archaon set forth to assault the world as the Herald of the Apocalypse, a warrior who did the unthinkable and succeeded where hundreds of other Champions had failed. As the crown was fully placed, the last spark of Archaon's humanity was finally extinguished, as he finally accepted the gods of Chaos to be the true rulers of the cosmos. Upon retrieving the last of the treasures, the Crown of Domination, the Daemon Prince Be'lakor performed the coronation that made Archaon the Lord of the End Times.

In his journey, he claimed the legendary Six Treasures of Chaos which marked him as the Everchosen. He decided the fate of entire nations, his sword laid waste to heroes and armies and his unbreakable will dominated those of the gods themselves.Īrchaon is truly the 'Herald of the Apocalypse,' blessed with dreadful artefacts of ancient evil, each one bestowed as a reward for accomplishing impossible trials.

Of all the Everchosen of Chaos who have assailed the world over the ages, Archaon is by far the most ruthless and perhaps the most powerful. Archaon, born Diederick Kastner, is the current Everchosen of Chaos, the Three-Eyed King and Lord of the End Times, and the self-proclaimed supreme champion of the four Gods of Chaos who was sent to command the last and greatest Chaos invasion during the apocalyptic age known simply as the End Times.
