Calyx

"I- I keep seeing things in my head, faces, monsters...I-I don't know them sir...yet I do...I-I have something I must do."

- A unknown guardsman recorded as he turned into Calyx

An Chaos entity appearing and disappearing seemingly at random from various worlds in the Imperium. The Inquisition has only recently confirmed the existence of this entity which had once been known as a assortment of minor rumors and calamities tied with the onset of many of the plagues of chaos. Since this entities discovery a watch has been put out by the Ordo Hereticus to capture and contain this herald of plague before it can bring even more of it's god's blight further into the Imperium.

The Attentions of the plague god
Durring the Age of Strife several worlds were beset by plague and gradual ruin. Amongst one of those long lost and forgotten worlds was the home of the mortal whom would eventually become known as Calyx. The desperation, despair and diligence of the mortal eventually was brought to the attentions of the lord of plague, who decided to take up the mortal as one of his own and answer the mortal's desperate prayers.

Nurgle heard the prayers of the mortal doctor as he pleaded for life, for survival for his charges, and freedom from the grasp of death. Hearing the mortal's prayers Nurgle answered, even as he prayed the doctor's body withered into a hollow shell. Unrealizing of the change the mortal continued his work until a frightened nurse happened upon him and in her terror killed the walking husk, and cremated the body. However the next night one of the infected victims underwent a unusual change, becoming a withered husk themself and raising from their bed to take up the dead doctor's work. Seeing the bed ridden transform and begin such strange behavior the remaining medical staff took caution, in destroying and recording the newest case of what they would soon call the husk outbreak.

Between the raising husks, the terror and dimentia caused by the spreading plauge, and the actual plague itself within a week the entirety of the town lay dead, leaving only the husk behind. Left alone, the only survivor if only by some definitions, the once doctor mourned the loss of his villiage, and over the comming years would begin to mourn the loss of his entire world. Alone and without a means to leave his world, the mortal now called Calyx by the voices of the dead, would spend over a thousand years alone with only the dead and the plague overwhelmed wilds of his world to keep him company.
