Venators (AN)

Overview

Once mortal bounty hunters operating in the deepest reaches of the underhive, the Hounds of the Ebon Darkness fell to corruption after discovering an ancient shrine to the Blood God in the Sump's abyssal depths. Now they serve as chaos-tainted predators, hunting not for credits but for skulls and souls.

Baeleth Shadowgore - House Hunt Leader 4 (Leader)

Once a respected bounty hunter, Baeleth's conversion field malfunctioned during a deep-hive expedition, creating a permanent vortex of living shadow around him. Instead of seeking repair, he embraced the darkness, believing it a gift from the Red God. His web pistol now fires not restraining foam, but writhing tendrils of pure shadow that drain the life from his victims.

Ravak the Grip of the Night - House Hunt Champion 1 (Champion)

A former guild enforcer turned butcher, Ravak's mesh armor is fused with his flesh after a ritual scarification ceremony. His harpoon launcher doesn't just impale - it drags screaming victims into the darkness where unspeakable things await. The stiletto knife at his side has tasted the blood of a hundred innocents.

Darkthorn - House Specialist 4 (Ganger)

Swift and silent, Darkthorn specializes in surgical strikes with his paired chainaxes. His head injury came from a combat, but instead of diminishing him, it opened his mind to the Red God's whispers. He now sees weak points in both flesh and spirit.
