About Menstras The Cackling
Name: Menstras The Cackling
Race: CSM
Archetype: Night Lord
Pride: Grace
Disgrace: Betrayal
Old habits die hard.
A burglar of little note and mixed skills awoke to find his world turned mad. The shadows danced and the light stung. Yet still he saw clearly. A gift unexpected and full of promise forced to rot in disuse. Disuse until the shackles cracked and the cage fell open. The warden dead and door swinging.
The task seemed simple. Slip into the palace and slay the commander. Cut off the head and the army will crumble. A catch, arising between two legions. Each vying for victory neither united. A prize unexpected. A blade said to have fallen from the heavens. The massive blade made of an ebony steel. An eye enraptured by the glinting metal. His allies exposed and his post abandoned.
For these crimes the Deathguard shall never forgive him.
Motivation: Vengeance (Dark Angels)
Borne from one master's conflict to another's, be they crooks or Legions. As such Menstras has known little of his own will. What he has known is loss. The loss of his family. His freedom. His world. All of this in the name of lies.
Now he finds himself free once more. An individual left in the wake of a nightmare. The betrayal of Nostromo and the devastation of the Thramas Sector still haunt his memory. The image of a Primarch bowed near death's door forever etched into the fabric of his soul. For this the Lion's death will never be enough. For this he would see the 1st Legion erased from the annals of history alongside those whom the Primarchs swore to never speak of.
Description: Prefers the preheresy terror markings to the winged helm so many of his brothers now don.

Archetype Abilities:
Spectral Haunter: The Night Lords are renowned for their ability to utilise the cover of darkness and other adverse conditions to harass their prey. Penalties for attacking a Night Lords Chaos Space Marine and bonuses to any Stealth Checks that Combat Circumstances grant based on visual hindrances are increased by 20.
Terror Tactics: Night Lords Chaos Space Marines are among the most dreaded enemies of the Imperium of Man. They specialise in terrifying their foes with horrendous displays of carnage and psychological
warfare that drives even the most hardened fighters into paroxysms of fear. [u]A Night Lord may spend Infamy Points to grant himself and his allies the
Fear Trait (to a maximum of 4) for the remainder of a session. Each rank in Fear awarded requires the expenditure of two Infamy Points, then two days of preparation and a successful Hard (–20) Intimidate Test.[/u] The GM may modify the difficulty based on the Night Lord’s actions and also require additional
Skill Checks depending on the situation.
