Konrad Curze || Night Haunter
"It is better by far to be an object of fear than of respect, for one is a truth of the soul and the other an illusion of the mind."

ABOUT
Konrad Curze, better known as the "Night Haunter," the name he preferred, and sometimes as the "Dark King," the "King of Terrors," and "The Last Judge," was one of the 20 superhuman primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind in the late 30th Millennium and was the master of the Night Lords Traitor Legion of Heretic Astartes.
Night Haunter was tortured all his life by terrible, dark precognitive visions of the future, and this generated a level of psychic anguish and despair that set him apart from his fellow primarchs. His psyche badly damaged by the difficulties of his early life, Curze never recovered his mental balance and sought only oblivion from the pain of his existence.
As a result of his afflictions, he was an utterly brutal and savage warrior who believed in the use of fear as the most potent weapon against one's foes, and he taught his Astartes to be as brutal and savage as necessary to put down the enemy. Night Haunter did not enjoy his role as an Imperial war leader and was the only one of the primarchs who showed little affection for his "sons," the Space Marines of the VIIIth Legion that had been created from his genetic template.
