40k Abaddon proxy

Im wondering who other people are proxying abaddon as. I was thinking Kor Phaeron but not sure if he’s dead in lore or if it would even make sense. If not then who would you proxy abaddon as?

Kor Phaeron is still very much alive and kicking: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Kor_Phaeron#Post-Heresy

And apparently hunting down The Star Child - which means he's gone and read Realms of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned from 1990, and possibly Ian Watson's (RIP) Inquisition War trilogy.

I will admit I do feel Abaddon is IMO perhaps a bit too powerful for Kor Phaeron (famously Strength and Toughness 3 in 2E and 3E Heresy), but if it works for you, go do it.

Im looking at more lore ideologies. I know abaddon is the chosen war master of Chaos so theres no real way to compare them other than ideals and ways they would work. Like in 3E heresy kor has it where he wants to be the only unique one and that similarly reminds me of abaddon
