Jy'Barrak Golgotha

Jy'Barrak Golgotha, Emperor of Chaos, is the ruler of the Chaos Plane. He reigns from his Infernal Throne atop the great volcano in the centre of the realm alongside Arctar, the Defender. 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.

Origins

Golgotha started out life as a chaos thrall some time 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, and quickly rose to a position of leadership among the thralls. Of the others, his closest companions were Arctar, Cadmus, and Scrag.

Rise to Power

So blinded was Pazuzu by his own ego that he did not notice the alarming rate at which Golgotha's power was growing, and remained ignorant of the fact that it would soon rival his own. Meanwhile, Golgotha gathered allies among the chaos thralls - not too hard a task considering their fear of becoming the next undead meal - and intermingled with the rest of the 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.

Vengeance, Twofold

Thousands of years later - specifically, the year 318 AF - Jy'Barrak Golgotha made a trip to the Prime Material Plane to reclaim Danaeus. The Occultist Xerimor and the banished Pazuzu had led a Mhaldorian army to the Chaos Plane to slay Danaeus in revenge for his betrayal. They made haste to Mhaldor, where Taug fashioned an altar and trapped Danaeus' body and soul within. Golgotha, once arrived on Sapience, used his own arcane powers to free Danaeus and, as the altar demanded something in return, Golgotha cast Xerimor into it in Danaeus' place. Satisfied, the two chaos lords returned to their home plane.

This was a catalyst for the formation of the Apostate Guild, which was later renamed the Blood Congregation after the formation of Houses.
