It began to destroy and feed at will, and it reached into the minds of almost every race and planted its image into their deepest fears. It is said that gradually, the Nightbringer fell further and further from the original design the Necrontyr had brought it into the material world for, namely the destruction of the Old Ones. In its desire to consume more souls the Nightbringer would lay waste to entire regions of space just to feed. The Nightbringer reveled in the war with the Old Ones as nothing but mortal souls could satisfy its hunger. They had brought the Star Gods into the mortal plane to help them in their war. At this time the Necrontyr had been waging battle against the race known as the Old Ones. This initial episode of mortal consumption led to more destruction on the behalf of the Nightbringer. Only through pledges of loyalty could the Necrontyr convince it to stop destroying their race and concentrate in the vast expanses of the galaxy. Once it had become manifest, it soon learned that the life force of mortal lives tasted far superiour to its previous diet of star energy and with this revelation it consumed those who had brought it into the material universe. It was found feeding on the very star that blasted the Necrontyr. When the Necrontyr first encouraged the C'tan to cross the Incorporeal Starlight Bridge into the material realm, the Nightbringer was the first to come and the first to enter a living metal body. Its love of pain and death is monumental, a living god of suffering and despair. The Nightbringer's earliest history is that of a pioneer and death bringer.
