Obadian Bane

The Resident Sorcerer of the Black Devourers Chaos Warband. The evil sorcerer ultimate has his own plans.

History
The resident chief sorcerer of the Black Devourers, Obadian was once a member of a prior warband, before it was eradicated by Imperial Forces. Some say it was the Iron Blood, from before their first fall, that did the deed and that is why he hounds the chapter. Other rumors accuse him of being responsible, due to a falling out. Regardless he fond himself in the ranks of the Black Devourers and even helped its prior master ascend to Daemonhood.

Although originally seen with disdain and distrust, and honestly he still is, he has made himself and important part of the warband, and part of its command staff. He is also the one who direct their cults and its members throughout the sector, and other mortal agents.

Appearance
Beneath his helmet, Obadian holds a sickly pale complexion, with visible black veins, sharpened fangs, black tattoos, and sunkent black eyes.

His armor complete departs from his fellow heretic astartes, being a mix of red, purple and black, and a headdress similar to the Thousand Son, possibly from his prior Warband. His right shoulder bares the symbol of his current warband.

He is never seen without his staff of profane crafts.

Personality
Some would describe him as a schemer, but Obadian would call himself a 'seeker' of power, knowledge and especially secrets. Usually carrying himself with an air of distinction, Obadian can become almost rapid in demeanor when tempted with some juicy bit of knowledge or arcane secret.

For unknown reasons he appears to have a fixation in bringing about the fall of the Iron Blood chapter.
