Master of Possession Enki Ashurr serves as leader for the esoteric elements of the warband. He oversees the rituals and rites necessary for daemonic possession and the creation of daemon engines. He is frequently in conflict with Erra and shunned by other members of his legion for his strange proclivities and projects. His most recent project is the corruption of Edith Brienne, a former dialogious of the Valorous Heart convent of Aileron.
