Hello, people. I've decided to run two-thirds of The Haarlock Trilogy in my Rogue Trader campaign (I already ran Tattered Fates in my Dark Heresy campaign and two of my players have already been through it, also it seemed too railroady especially at the beginning for an RT scenario) I've figured out how to get the PCs to partake in Damned Cities and Dead Stars and found this old thread during my research which I recommend anyone who wishes to run the trilogy, it's very interesting, some great ideas for what Haarlock is and why he's doing what he's doing https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/25103-the-definitive-haarlocks-legacy-speculation-and-spoiler-thread/#comments

But I came up with an idea for my campaign, it's a part of a 40k fanfic continuity I've been writing for years now Secret War Warhammer 40,000 which could be described as a Dark Heresy fanfic rather than a 40k fanfic, I suppose. I won't go into detail, but all of my campaigns I've GM'd are a part of it (my first one was an unintentional prequel, actually which had a villain of Secret War Serghar Kaltos as a GMPC, who is my main character Attelus Kaltos' father, the PCs were also working for the main villain of Secret War before he went all heretical) But I made a mistake at the end of Secret War, where I introduced 'Tzeentch' but I misunderstood what Tzeentch looked like, making him look like a bird or whatever. So I decided that it wasn't Tzeentch, but Kairos Fateweaver (The story followed the themes of Tzeentch, such a complex plot full of twists and manipulations and ends in a huge change) I did some research and found out that, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Tzeentch threw Kairos into the centre of the galaxy and Kairos came out changed into the double-headed daemon he is now.

But what if Kairos Fateweaver came back changed even more? That something that not even the chaos gods know about and should fear came back with him? It has been manipulating not just the main characters of my continuity but Tzeentch himself for thousands of years to its own ends with its farseeing.

That is what took over Haarlock when he stepped into the Tesseract. It had influenced Attelus Kaltos and his allies into defeating an enemy (The big bad of Secret War) who would've been a powerful threat to him. Everything has been leading up to the PCs allowing it to emerge into the material universe from whatever plane of existence it's from (Which my PCs will go to when they fly through the Tyrant Star.
Does that sound alright? What way did you or your GM run the Haarlock Trilogy? Also drawing of Attelus and his crew, just because.
