Prince Sa'thiel

"Abandon your eyes. Abandon your ears. Cut the nerves off your fingertips and slice your tongue so you taste never again. Scream silent screams as you give yourself unto rapturous senselessness. As you give yourself unto me.”"

- Daemon Prince Sa'thiel Prince Sathiel, also known as the Black Prince, is a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh. It is the master of the the Black Planet, a Daemon World in the Eye of Terror and alocus of sensory deprivation. Akin to the bizarre power of the planet, Sa'thiel exudes an aura of senselessness, and those that approach its hideous form begin to lose their sight, hearing and the rest of their sensory repertoire. Having turned the Space Marine chapter Shadow Griffons into the renegade Shadow Reavers, it aids the warband that in turn kills in its name.

A towering figure fortified in fitted golden armour, Sa’thiel flies above the battlefields of the galaxy on halcyon wings. Its very form is concealed in a cloud of shadow, and wherever it strides absolute silence follows, a daemonic gift that is venerated and coveted by the Shadow Reavers, for Sa’thiel is a master not of sensory overload, but of sensory deprivation. The mere sight of it blinds the viewer, as its presence deafens those around it. Even the sense of touch and smell and taste are lost to those that near Sa’thiel, and many have met their demise in this trance of senselessness. Its booming and commanding voice is communicated solely through telepathy, a discipline the Black Prince is a master of. In its hands is the glorious daemon sword the Sirenblade, a brand that slices through flesh and armour alike.

Of the origin and nature of Sa’thiel no one but the Dark Prince herself knows, yet all have surmised its fate is uniquely tied to its Daemon World, the Black Planet. A nexus for the Black Prince’s power, all those who approach the dark orb floating through the Eye of Terror begin to feel its effects take hold. Many of the more maniacal pleasure seekers flock to the world, the deprivation it offers bittersweet to the craver of sensation. But those that tarry too long begin to feel Sa’thiel’s telepathic voice call to them incessantly. And the more they stay, the more their senses become forever dulled - they become permanently blind, deaf, mute and senseless. All that remains is the Black Prince’s voice, ever commanding.
