Chaos Cultist

The world was wrought in the throes of chaos and to Chaos it should be returned.

You were a member of a cult dedicated to the primordial forces of Chaos or to one of the deities seeking to return the world to that roiling void. Before your rituals were completed, however, a traitor in your midst sold your sect out to the local authorities and you were one of the few members to escape the purge and watched from the crowds as your fellows were returned to the void. Though your sect was all but wiped out you still endeavor to see their work done. Though local sects of the cult seek to create minor tears in the veil through which the horrors and monstrosities of chaos might flow, the greater goal of the cult is to see the veil destroyed entirely, the physical and immaterial worlds reforged into one.
