After a bloody coup upends the kingdom, Elise flees with Legion, but nothing is as it seems. The man she allowed into her heart reveals his own secret plans with the return of magic-and he has every intention of using Elise to see them through.
He experienced vivid nightmares and visions of the future, which contributed to his descent into madness. As Primarch of the Night Lords Legion, Curze instilled fear and terror into his enemies. His Legion specialized in psychological warfare and guerrilla tactics, striking fear into the hearts of their opponents. They were known for their brutal, merciless nature and their symbol, a stylized Night Lords skull, became a feared sight on the battlefield. Curze's Legion became one of the most feared in the galaxy. He was a master of stealth and infiltration and employed fear as a weapon to demoralize his enemies. Curze himself wore midnight blue power armor and wielded a pair of lightning claws, which he used to devastating effect in close quarters combat. However, despite his brutal methods and success on the battlefield, Curze's methods put him at odds with his fellow Primarchs and the Emperor himself. His methods were seen as overly cruel and brutal, even by the standards of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This led to increased tension within the Night Lords Legion and ultimately contributed to their downfall. Legeon Grey Curze of Shadows and Thorns is a complex character, embodying the duality of justice and cruelty. He is a tragic figure, shaped by his dark past and his visions of the future. His methods may be seen as extreme, but they emphasize the darkness that exists within the Warhammer 40,000 universe..
