Sharur

Sharur is a fictional character from the *Warhammer 40,000* tabletop wargame and its associated lore, created by Games Workshop. He is a prominent figure in the Chaos Space Marine faction, specifically within the Black Legion, and serves as the current Lord of Chaos for the World Eaters, a legendary Chaos Space Marine Legion that once fought in the Great Crusade before turning to heresy.

Originally part of the Emperor’s loyalist forces, Sharur was a high-ranking officer in the World Eaters Legion, led by the infamous Fulgrim. After Fulgrim’s betrayal and the subsequent Horus Heresy, Sharur survived the purges and emerged as a key leader among the surviving World Eaters. Unlike many of his comrades, he avoided the genetic corruption that plagued Fulgrim’s followers, retaining his original appearance while embracing the Chaos gods. His loyalty to the World Eaters’ dark ideals remains unwavering, and he is known for his ruthless efficiency in leading his followers in the service of Khorne, the Chaos god of war and slaughter.

Sharur’s role in the modern era of *Warhammer 40,000* has expanded beyond the World Eaters, as he has become a prominent figure in the Black Legion, a faction of Chaos Space Marines that operates across the galaxy. He is often depicted as a cunning and strategic commander, leveraging his knowledge of the Imperium’s military structures to exploit its weaknesses. His presence in the lore has been reinforced through novels, such as *The Horus Heresy* series, where he is portrayed as a formidable adversary to the Imperium’s forces.

In gameplay, Sharur is represented as a high-tier Chaos Space Marine character, offering unique abilities and warlord traits that reflect his leadership and combat prowess. His inclusion in the Black Legion codex provides players with a powerful option for commanding Chaos Space Marine armies, emphasizing his significance in the faction’s narrative and tactical depth.
