Alasdair Erasmos

Alasdair Eramos, the Amalgamate, is the Chaos Sorcerer Lord of the Igneous Contour. Originally a mere mortal, Alasdair became a cultist within a heretical organization that sought to escape the Imperium's rule. Climbing through their ranks with wit, sorcerous power, and brutal ambition Alasdair became the Sorcerer Lord of the Cult, naming it the Ascended Conflagration. Eventually coming under the rule of an Astrate Chaos Lord by the name of Eramos, the Ascended Conflagration changed their loyalties from Alasdair to the Chaos Lord Eramos. Eventually becoming heavily sick and diseased, Alasdair challenged Eramos to a duel for power over the Warband. Shedding his dying form, Alasdair stole Eramos' own form to escape death and became leader of the Warband.

Character
A cowardly and treacherous sorcerer with boundless intelligence and enough ambition to fuel a star. Tired of being under constant control and rulership by others, Alasdair has turned to the very thing that brings freedom to all. The Primordial Truth offers freedom and power to all those who can grasp it. Freedom from persecution from the Imperium, freedom from the harrassing thoughts of Eramos, and freedom from the servitude of the Unholy Crusader Xaphrius. Freedom, power, and recognition are all things that the Amalgamate desires. Unlike his Master and his host, Alasdair views the Chaos Gods and Chaos as a whole as a tool. A tool of uncontrollable sharpness, of deadly destruction, and of liberation. The Immaterium and its hosts are nothing but step-stones for the Sorcerer. Nevertheless because his Master despises "leeches that feed off their Majesty", Alasdair hides his ambitious nature behind a persona of religious commitment.

Because of childhood problems, Alasdair has a sensitive ego that is easily crushed and built up. Even the unintelligent barbs that the imprisoned Eramos throws at the Sorcerer cause some emotional harm. When problems arise that have origin in Alasdair, his ego is no doubt destroyed and in tatters. In spite of that though, when a solution is to be had from the Amalgamate his ego flutters and grows almost uncontrollably. This sensitive ego nevertheless does not mean Alasdair constantly seeks approbation. Alasdair is a vicious and uncaring individual who will quickly turn callous once he feels his pride is bruised.

Alasdair is a slave driver and debaser above all else. To feel good about himself and his position, Alasdair must drag others below himself. If Alasdair feels a certain champion is becoming too arrogant or prideful of his capabilities, Alasdair will drag them down to the level of a common slave. Mental and physical mutilation is common among Alasdair's slaves for this reason. A person's worth is only measured by how superior they are to another and when you drag around countless individuals in chains, your worth is great. Alasdair views martial and mental prowess as duel weapons that must be wielded at once. If one does not have the capability for either of these duel prowess, you must simply steal and rip away the faculties of others.
