Epidemius
Epidemius is the greatest of the Plaguebearers and Nurgle's favourite little tallyman. This little fucker is in charge of searching for disease, bacteria, and more of... them..., as well as noting the potency of Nurgle's new plagues, and coming up with interesting new symptoms for Nurgle's new plagues. He is also a lazy fuck, just like his patron, and literally has his own moving squad of Nurglings that carry him around. Even as Epidemius surveys and takes notes of the spread of filth and decay, Nurgle knows this, and starts working on some more nasty shit. Because of this, Epidemius focuses on his task even if he takes a power fist to the face, cuz say he were to make an error or untimely observation, Nurgle would probably start using him as the squeegee for his plague cauldron. He's even uglier than a normal Plaguebearer, and the nurglings that carry him also secrete oil that he uses to write with (on pages made of their discarded skin). Lovely.
In game terms, as the servants of Nurgle deal more and more wounds to their enemies, Epidemius grants powers of increasing potency to everyone in his Leadership range.
Warhammer Fantasy[edit]
- – One of the Altdorf cannon engineer who "accidently" shot Epidemius after rotating his cannon 360 degrees.
He is known as the "Maggot King" and he is Nurgle’s chosen Tallyman, one of the seven Proctors of Pestilence and the cataloguer of all the Plaguelord's diseases. In the end time, he got YOLO NO SCOP'ED by a cannon ball during the battle of Altdorf. Must've be a pretty easy target for a fat lazy couch potato. Of course he's a deamon so he is very much not dead and was just sent back to Nurgle garden to turn in a rather unsatisfactory report card to grandfather.
Horus Heresy[edit]
He was summoned on Calth during the Horus Heresy, and probably had his arse torn wide-open by the Ultrasmurfs, or Rowboat Girlyman. Poor Epidemius.
