'''Jy'Barrak Golgotha, Emperor of Chaos''', | '''Jy'Barrak Golgotha, Emperor of Chaos''', is the former ruler of the [[Chaos Plane]]. He was overthrown by Imperator [[Glaaki]], the Eldritch Ascendant in 691 AF. During his reign he on the Infernal Throne atop the great volcano in the centre of the [[Chaos Plane]], [[Arctar]], the Defender acting as his bodyguard. He towers fifteen feet in the air, his form wreathed in elemental flame, and is encased in blackened [[battle]] [[armour]] that shines with the blood of sacrificial victims. | ||

Golgotha started | Golgotha started life as a chaos thrall sometime after Prince [[Slith]] and [[Pazuzu]] were banished to the Chaos Plane during the [[Chaos Wars]]. He was tended by [[Hecate]] and [[Marduk]] of the infernal legion, as all [[chaos thralls]] at the time were, though most were raised for the purpose of feeding Slith and [[Zsarachnor]]'s undead hordes. Of the thralls, Golgotha grew the swiftest and bullied the most, quickly rising to a position of leadership among the thralls. Of the others, his closest companions were Arctar, [[Cadmus]], and [[Scrag (Chaos Lord)|Scrag]]. | ||

Meanwhile, Golgotha gathered allies among the chaos thralls - not too difficult a task considering their fear of becoming the next undead meal - and intermingled with the rest of the [[Inferno (plane)|Inferno]] [[demons]], even going so far as to sire children with them, although [[Dameron]] was the only one he allowed to live. When the uprising finally occurred, the fighting struck huge blows to both sides, but in the end it was clear that Golgotha had won. Even those who had allied themselves with the infernal legions, such as [[Danaeus]], Pazuzu's advisor, bowed to Jy'Barrak in the end. And so, he pushed Pazuzu, Slith, Zsarachnor, and their followers through a gateway made by [[Xenophage]] to the [[Prime Material Plane]], stripped of all but a portion of their power. | ||

In the year 690 AF, [[The Occultists|occultists]] ritually released the legendary Chaos Lord before securing him in their house estate. Paranoia seized Golgotha and, fearing that Glaaki's influence and power would spread against him, the Emperor of Chaos declared a seige against Ashtan. His court abandoned him, fleeing to give support to his opponent. | ||
On the heels of a desperate gambit made by the forces of the beleagured Bastion of the North, Glaaki forced his way through the burning Chaos Plane to confront the Infernal Throne itself. Drawing upon ancient and long-forgotten information, he spoke Golgotha's true name thrice, bringing the emperor to his knees before usurping his title of Lord of the Chaos Plane. | On the heels of a desperate gambit made by the forces of the beleagured Bastion of the North, Glaaki forced his way through the burning Chaos Plane to confront the Infernal Throne itself.
