Known Everchosen

Morkar, the Uniter

The first Everchosen. Morkar became Everchosen around year 1 and was given the task of making the world a permanent beacon of Chaos. After winning many battles Morkar´s army clashed with the armies of Sigmar Heldenhammer. Morkar met Sigmar in combat in a battle that would determine the fate of the world. The battle was likened to that between gods, but in the end Sigmar struck the killing blow, destroying Morkar and ending his incursion. From the ashes of this battle, Sigmar became the first Emperor of the united human tribes. For thousands of years since, his Empire has endured as a beacon of humanity. After his defeat, Morkar's armour was placed in his tomb. Over 2500 years later Archaon came and tried to take the armour but the spirit of Morkar took control over the armour and started attacking Archaon. Only after Archaon spat a curse in the long-dead language of the Unberogens that the armour ceased it's attacks for a second, which allowed Archaon to smash it asunder and banish the spirit of Morkar.^{1 p34-35}

Vangel

The second Everchosen. Vangel bound the Greater Daemon U'zuhl into the Slayer of Kings. The millennia of imprisonment sent the Daemon insane with rage. Vangel was killed in battle Gromrir Goldfist. ^{1 p69}

Kharduun, the Gloried

The third Everchosen. Kharduun was possessed by Be'lakor, the dark master during his siege of Praag. When Be'lakor tried to gain access to the Crown of Domination, using Kharduun's body, he found that he couldn't reach it. Be'lakor was filled with rage. His fury and his insanity eventually destroyed his physical body, and he was forced back into the shadow paths to guard the Crown of Domination.

Asavar Kul, the Anointed

The Fourth Everchosen. Asavar Kul was a great warlord who led the armies of Chaos two hundred years ago in the greatest Chaos Incursion in thousands of years, referred to as the Great War Against Chaos.

Later laying siege to the city of Kislev but was defeated by three other armies: the army of Magnus the Pious, the defenders of Kislev, which included a contingent of dwarfs from Karaz-a-Karak and the other half of Magnus's army consisting of knights and Kislevite lancers attacking from behind.

Archaon, Lord of the End Times
