At least in the 40k universe and Warhammer Fantasy, countless scholars had repeatedly debated one question: when a Chaos Champion ascended to daemonhood, was he an upgraded version of his former mortal self, retaining his mortal memories and emotions, or had he been completely replaced by a Warp creature whose only memories of the mortal world were faint echoes of the past? Apart from occasional fragments flashing through his mind, did he have nothing left to do with the mortal he had once been?
Previously, Aaron had always believed daemon ascension was probably the former. As far as he knew, some of Slaanesh's Daemon Princes retained a powerful attachment to their mortal hobbies after ascending. Likewise, the Daemon Primarchs all possessed immense strength and their full memories. Magnus, for instance, even had time to trade barbs with the Warriors of the Space Wolves Legion and exchange insults with Guilliman.
But after seeing Annomyn, Aaron now believed the second possibility was probably more common.
Annomyn had not even completed his ascension ritual, yet he had already become a writhing ball of flesh with a deranged mind. What if he had completed it?
The newly born Daemon Prince would have little connection to the Pasha's son he had once been.
Out of gratitude toward Annomyn, and as an experiment in creating Daemon Princes, Aaron decided to save him once more.
More importantly, Aaron was deeply curious about creatures such as Daemon Princes.
Everyone knew that the Chaos Daemons of Warhammer Fantasy could not appear in the mortal world very often. Because of the scarcity of the winds of magic caused by the Maelstrom, even Greater Daemons could only manifest briefly through powerful summoning rituals or when the winds of magic were unusually fierce.
This was even more true in the 40k universe,
