 [[Image:Arkhan Land.jpg|thumb|right|Magos Arkhan Land]]
-[[Arkhan Land]] was one of the most famous members of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], a [[Magos]] and technoarchaeologist, one who went recovering ancient texts of technology. He was responsible for the recovery of several [[STC]] fragments from the Great [[Librarius Omnis]] under Mars, and their restoration, notably leading to the recovery of the blueprints for the [[Land Raider]] battle tank, the [[Land Speeder]] fast attack vehicle, and the [[Land Crawler]] multi-purpose heavy utility vehicle, all of which are named for him. It is said he died on [[Mars]] while on his second expedition into the Librarius Omnis looking for more technology. Two centuries after his expedition was declared lost, his vox diary was found. It spoke of how his team had been picked off one by one by an unknown entity. There is some debate as to the nature of this entity. Some say it was a sentient virus, others favour a mutant or psychic entity that may have lain dormant in the ancient areas of the Librarius until his meddling awoke it.

-'''Koriel Zeth''' was a female member of the [[Mars|Martian]] [[Mechanicum]] who lived in the years when the [[Emperor]] began the [[Great Crusade]] to unify [[Mankind]] under his [[Imperium]]. In that time, she achieved the position of [[Adept]] where she controlled [[Magma City]] - a Forge that was located within an active volcano. Whilst outwardly she appeared to be a loyal follower of the principles of the Mechanicum, secretly she did not believe in the existence of the [[Machine God]] and instead was more dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge. To that end, she began a secret project that involved tapping into the [[Warp|Empyrean]] into a wellspring of knowledge by way of the [[Akashic Reader]]. The designs of this device she had acquired but had failed to implement until she learnt of the existence of [[Dalia Cythera]]'s whose mind was not constrained by Mechancium dogma. With her assistance, she attempted to complete the device by channeling its energy through [[Psyker]]'s though there were numerous failures in the process.<sup>3</sup>

-At the time, Mars suffered from the [[Death of Innocence]] and the rise of the [[Dark Mechanicum]] who sided with [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. These corrupted members of the Mechanicum included the [[Fabricator-General]] who demanded her loyalty but she rejected them and stayed loyal to the Emperor. Despite a valiant struggle, the invaders were too many and Koriel Zeth herself was assaulted by a member of the [[Sisters of Cydonia]]. Her last act was detonating the reactors of Magma City thus killing herself and anyone else within it in order to prevent its usage by the traitor forces as well as any attempt at them to use the Akashic Reader.<sup>3</sup>

 '''Hieronomus Tezla ''' is a radical [[Xenarite]] [[Techpriest]] from the [[Forge World]] [[Stygies VIII]].
 ==Character History==
-Tezla was trained on the Forge World of Stygies VIII as a [[Runic Priest]]. Runic Priests specialise in certain branches of scientific lore which are frowned upon my the more mainstream branches of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] such as intuitive mechanics, speculation and improvisation.
+Tezla excelled in these areas and was recruited into the ranks of the '''Xenarites''' before his training was even completed.  The Xenarites specialise in the study of [[Xenos]] technology and Tezla rapidly became an important member of their sect, showing a natural talent for locating and studying alien artefacts.  His examination of a crashed [[Fra’al]] spacecraft in the Tamahl sector and his subsequent etheric-plasma theorums won him great renown amongst his peers.  Similarly, his studies of [[Ork]] [[power field]] generators on [[Polaris]] are considered to be the authoritative texts on the subject.

 '''Etolph Cycerin''' was an [[Adept]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] who later turned to [[Chaos]].
 {{spoiler|source=Iron Warriors (Novel Series)}}
 Adept Cycerin commanded the outer defenses of the Imperial bastion on [[Hydra Cordatus]], from inside a strike-hardened bunker{{Fn|1a}}.  Originally confident in the defenses under his control, he was severely unnerved when these defenses were outflanked and destroyed by an invasion force of the [[Iron Warriors]] [[Chaos Space Marines]].  As a [[Chaos Dreadnought]] hammered its way into the "impregnable" bunker, Cycerin prepared to die bravely, but his life was spared due to the surprise intervention of [["The Warsmith"]]{{Fn|1b}}.
 The Iron Warriors infected Cycerin with a techno-virus that radically altered his organic and mechanical components, but left him hungry for further change.  Cycerin later turned to the Iron Warriors' service, staying loyal to [[Honsou]], who had succeeded the Warsmith{{Cite This}}.
 By the time of the [[Bloodborn]]'s invasion of [[Ultramar]], Cycerin had all but given up his humanity, becoming an amalgamation of [[Dark Mechanicus]] machinery suspended inside a [[Chaos]]-tainted amniotic gel{{Fn|3a}}.  This form allowed him to directly interface with Honsou's various war machines, including the flagship ''[[Warbreed]]''{{Fn|3a, 3b}} and the [[Black Basilica]] command vehicle that Honsou led on [[Calth]]{{Fn|3c, 3d}}.  From these bases, Cycerin controlled the [[scrapcode]] attacks that overwhelmed and shut down the Ultramarines' defenses{{Fn|3b}}.  [[Magos]] [[Vianco Locard]] analyzed these attacks and developed countermeasures, but the raw power at Cycerin's command made the "fight" between him and Locard akin to ''"a brawny axeman fighting a duellist."''{{Fn|3e}} Cycerin was close to overwhelming Locard's defenses and seizing control of the [[Praetorian Servitors]] deployed on the Ultramarines' side, before [[Raven Guard]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Aethon Shaan]] infiltrated the Black Basilica and killed Cycerin, shortly before blowing up the entire vehicle with demolition charges{{Fn|3e}}.

+The '''Blind King''' was a rogue [[Tech Priest]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Viewing humanity as an affront to the [[Omnissiah]], the Blind King would gather Apostles within the Mechanicus and launch the [[Occlusiad War]], a devastating conflict that lasted over a decade. The Blind King would be killed when the [[Emperor Class Battleship]] ''[[Dominus Astra]]'' discovered his palace-warship in the [[Warp]] and destroyed it with [[lance]] fire.  Without their leader his apostles swiftly scattered and the War finally came to an end.{{Fn|1}}
