Araghast the Pillager is a major antagonist from Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Araghast is not a man of small words, but being a Chaos Lord fully decked out in Terminator armor, this also is no necessity. When the ice-covered world of Aurelia suddenly pops up in the sub-sector of the same name after having disappeared in the warp a few centuries ago and violent incursions shake all of the neighboring planets, it ultimately is him and his Black Legion warband who are behind the attacks.
Unlike other Chaos Lords in the series (with the notable exception of Eliphas the Inheritor), Araghast's generally boastful attitude doesn't mean he is actually stupid - he skillfully launches diversion attacks to sidetrack the player's own heroes from getting after what he is truly after, and even planted a spy amidst their ranks by corrupting one of the Blood Ravens through the taint of Chaos. Had Eliphas not backstabbed him in a rather inconvenient moment, there's a good chance Araghast would still be pillaging and all that stuff to this very day.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Araghast only appeared in 8chanmania XX, where he amusingly was teamed up with the eternally smug Eliphas. Alas, their poor work relationship apparently carried over to their first fight, as the Chaos champions were promptly defeated by Arc Warden and Tempest Double.
