Ah i see, I would really like to see Karliel live but trying to make the balance of his devotion to the Blood God, his mortal self, and the bite of the Butcher's Nails are tricky.

The reason I asked was because in one of the Horus Heresy novels, I forget which one, Kharn captures a Thousand Sons Captain on Prospero and the Thousand Son offers Kharn the choice to have the Captain help him with the Bloodlust that drives him or to continue to fall ever deeper into instanity. We all know what Kharn chose in the end, but I thought it might mean that the Thousand Sons knew of a way to rid their cousins of the Butchers Nails, hence the Captain's offer to help and Kharn's desperation and internal struggle when presented the offer.

But since they cannot be removed, I guess Karliel is destined to die in combat or ascend after pleasing the Blood God with his slaughter.

I'd be a little sad if he died since he's been a character of mine now for almost a year, but like Zixes said, I can make a new character.
