Though he appears to be little more than sixteen summers of age, Sigvald the Magnificent has blighted the world for over three hundred years. The personification of beauty on the outside, but rot within, Sigvald rides at the head of an army of utterly devoted followers who would give their lives for him without a second thought. Any who the Prince deems to be ugly, crude or irritating he has put to the sword, for he is the chosen scion of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess, luxurious passions and sensual indulgence, but also of cruel torments and despairing agony.
