It's really quite simple. The EoC is located in the Curonis Maw, a massive Warp Rift similar to the Eye of Terror. Now there would have a number of chaotic forces that would have made their homes in the CM before the formation of the Empire right? Simply have the KoC come in a force the others to follow them. The number one rule with Chaos is that the guy with the biggest club calls the shots. If the Knights of Chaos are the strongest then they can force all but the most stubborn Warbands to do as they say. Rule by law doesn't work among Chaos followers anyway. Hector can then consolidate his power within the Maw by building a cult around himself. Make the pathetic masses within the maw believe that he is some sort of Chosen of the Gods. A sort of Chatoic messiah if you will. He could them proclaim himself emperor, or whatever title he chooses to make his claim to power seem more official to the human cattle that are his subjects. In this case Hector wouldn't have direct control over the Warbands and worlds of the Curonis Maw. Rather his power and influence would be such that none of the other cults or Warbands would dare to refuse any "Request" he made of them.
