      No, that's Thanqol.
      Be'lakor is the mysterious figure the Saturday morning cartoon villain talks to at the end of episodes, that they can't fail again. Then they show up for the end of the show/arc, are super intimidating, get a two-parter, then either die, or get returned to the shadows as the show lulls into status quo once more.

      He did conjured Cursed Skies that spread all acros mortal realms, destroyed two whole Sigmar's stromhosts and broke laylines in Chamon. Also new AoS releases show a whole new culture of chaos-cultists dedicated for him only and a new varangard-like hero that is practically half daemon-prince on his own - as if Be'Lakor is on his way to become new minor Chaos God.

    So funny thing about AoS Be'Lakor is that his finally about to (in GW timeline so give it 6 or more years to actually happen) challenge Archeon. He even created a Chaotic storm that can stop the Stormcasts from getting back to AoS heaven to be reforged and its also been responsible for wiping out a ton of the Kharadon Overloads sky-ports so its nice to see him still active. Also his newest mini is insanely cool.

    I feel like the big bonus Be'Lakor has that everyone is sleeping on is his ability to upgrade the 4 minor daemons into exalted minor daemors via his warband upgrade system.
    As far as I know it means that he is the only WoC that has access to thos units (unless the CoC have exclusive chaos gifts that give them access to thos too), and that's pretty good.

    slight correction, unlike what the cinematic shows, the gods didn't destroy his body. It was just when he was forced back to the realms of chaos after the vortex was created he clung on longer than any other daemon but still was forced back and then they cursed him.
    Also he didn't crown the every chosen every time, sometime he just buggered off to do his own thing, sometimes he killed the everchosen.

    I have to disagree about him being underwhelming in melee. In my experience with him, when built correctly and with good items, he's almost invincible in melee combat and I've yet to encounter an enemy lord who could stand up to him in a one-on-one fight, including Skarbrand. When this is combined with his Penumbral Pendulum, Pit of Shades, The Withering and his regen ability, he becomes a 1 lord doomstack who only really has trouble against enemy doomstacks. My boy Be'lakor is OP.

    08:10 Strongly disagree on Be'lakor being unremarkable in melee. Dude has a base melee attack of 70, > 50 base melee defense and >500 base weapon strength. That is anything but weak. Invest some points in his two yellow lines and he can delete basically anything you send him against in melee.

    In my last empire campaign I recruited a huntsman general and a bunch of tier one spears and archers to just defend reikland while Franz was off fighting the vamps. This huntsman army went on to have victory after victory against kemmler and the orcs. I eventually added a few mortors and huntsman but for the most part it was still just tier 1 trash. Well eventually Belakor showed up and this lowly huntsman put him down multiple times (net of amantok) is a god send. The units started getting really high in rank and I started pushing belakors island. I took the first settlement and caught him in an ambush, then finished wiping out his capital. I love that this little huntsman army of tier 1 ( rank 9) units became the scourge of a demon lord. I've pretty much dropped that campaign because by turn 130 the campaign map lags too much, but as gelt and Franz handle the wild hunt crisis, that huntsman general is razing norsca to the ground
