There was once a cult of Nurgle amongst some of the lowest classes of Mordheim. The cult, known as Neiglen's Hand, plotted to overthrow the nobles that they felt had kept them trapped in a life of squalor.
To help their cause, on the night the comet fell the Cult attempted to summon a daemon of decay. They had abducted one of the many homeless and poor men of Mordheim as the host – but for some reason it didn't work. Or, more accurately, it didn't work as it should have – the daemon, calling itself Pazuzu, was not fully in control of the host body. Although the body was twisted and marked by the experience, it did not remain in Pazuzu's full control.
Enraged at being trapped in the situation, Pazuzu lashed out at the cult members that had botched the summoning. After killing them all, Pazuzu and his host stumbled out to find a way to co-exist and survive in the destroyed city.
This is a classic Chaos Thug mini from Citadel - released in 1988. I quite like his somewhat derpy face!
