Nurgle

Nurgle, also known as the Plague Lord or the Plague God, is the Chaos God of disease, decay, despair, death and destruction. In particular, the emotion of despair in mortals empowers the Plague God. Nurgle is known also as “Grandfather Nurgle,” the “Lord of Pestilence” and the “Lord of Decay.” It is the third of the Chaos Gods to fully awake within the Warp, emerging during the 2nd Millennium in the midst of Terra’s European Middle Ages, as great plagues swept across the world heralding the god’s birth.
