[foolscr0w]

former shield captain senex erasmun, the unfaltering guardian, and his charge, the most holy apostle eligos sitryan of the 39th grand warhost

the adeptus custodes were long ago considered incorruptible by the ruinous powers— so why is this one so willing to serve those who worship chaos?

i dont draw him enough because. his hair is hard to draw, but!!! was in a sketchy doodle mood

my dark apostle oc, eligos, herald of the 39th grand warhost, the gospel of unmaking. lore scraps below the cut :3

he was born on khur to a well-off family a bit after its compliance, and had only just become a full battle brother a few years before the razing of monarchia and the legion’s censure by big e. this. obviously caused Problems psychologically— he loses his whole family, his home, and his faith all at once and it is violent.

thus, his fall to chaos is almost unsurprising. he takes to it quickly, and takes to it well— the gods decide everything, there is no such thing as free will. if they will it, then it must be done. who is he to doubt true divinity?

he becomes the first acolyte to sarabdal of the 18th host, and later is granted permit to claim the 39th for himself.

in many ways, his captains coddle him— some mix of pity and loyalty. eligos has never lacked for what he wants and it has made him spoiled and petulant in many ways. he doesn’t know how or when to stop, and he never will. he rarely is truly alone, when cultists practically kiss the ground he walks on and so eagerly throw themselves upon the alter if he holds the knife.
