Description
Ka'Bandha is a Bloodthirster of unparalleled fury, an Exalted Greater Daemon of Khorne whose name is etched in the annals of galactic terror. Towering over battlefields with wings of flayed skin and a brass-clad form, his twin axes Slaughter and Carnage have claimed billions of skulls for the Blood God. First recorded during the Horus Heresy at the Siege of Terra, Ka'Bandha was summoned by the Word Bearers to break the Blood Angels Legion. His most infamous act was hurling Sanguinius into the depths of Signus Prime's madness, an insult that would forge an eternal rivalry. After millennia of slaughter across the warp and realspace, he reemerged during the Devastation of Baal, where he carved a canyon of blood through the Chapter's fortress-monastery.
"Ka'Bandha comes not for victory, but for slaughter. He cares not if he falls, so long as rivers of blood flow in his wake." — Inquisitor Valeria, Ordo Malleus

Inquisitorial Report – Ordo Malleus #666-XXXII
"Ka'Bandha is no mere daemon—he is Khorne's favored executioner, a force of nature bound in brass and hatred. Our psy-scribes report his true name translates to 'He Who Stands Amidst the Ruins of Empires.' Tactical analysis suggests he deliberately avoids killing blows against worthy foes, preferring to let them live—broken but vengeful—to cultivate greater bloodshed later. This was observed in his encounters with Sanguinius (M31) and Chapter Master Dante (M42). Warning: His battle-roar contains a memetic kill-agent. 92% of exposed personnel develop terminal hemophilia within 12 hours."
Adeptus Arbites Advisory
- Do NOT attempt banishment without Grey Knight Titan support.
- All personnel must undergo cranial explosives screening post-exposure (Khornate rage-viruses are airborne).
- If you hear brass horns in dreams, report for immediate mind-wipe.
- First sign of corruption: Uncontrollable nosebleeds during weapons maintenance.
- Second sign: Spontaneous recitation of the Eightfold Path in Low Gothic.
Supplemental Notes
Ka'Bandha's axes are believed to be crystallized fragments of the first murder in galactic history. Mechanicum scans reveal they emit a frequency that liquefies the cerebellum of nearby humans, explaining why his victims often appear to "melt" mid-charge. Curiously, his wings bear scars matching the Talon of Horus—a relic now wielded by Abaddon the Despoiler. This suggests an unrecorded confrontation during the 13th Black Crusade. Recent cultist transmissions suggest Ka'Bandha is gathering a "Legion of the Unslaked" from daemons who have tasted Blood Angel flesh but not claimed full vengeance.
