Iron Father Frater Thamatica of the Iron Hands was believed to be the most Senior Iron Father to survive Istvaan V and escaped with a contingent of Iron Hands on the Sisypheum[1]. The title of Frater is used as an Honorific to any Iron Father when speaking to other Iron Fathers. [1a]

Thamatica is possessed of a mordant sense of humour and an inquisitive nature. He has a Laboratorium within the Sisypheum where he is free to conduct experiments. He takes incredible risks and is reckless in his pursuit of knowledge.[1a] He does however take his duties as an Iron Father seriously and can be relied upon when on the bridge. With Iron Father Sabik Wayland, he acts as an informal advisory council for Cadmus Tyro, the local-acting Captain of the Sisypheum.[1c]

During an experiment he unintentionally compromised the ship whilst it was in Warp transit, making it visible on sensor scans leading to the Sisypheum fighting off two Traitor Legion fleets.[1c] Only the timely intervention of Thamatica saved the ship from complete destruction, venting plasma and accelerating the ship incredibly, which had the beneficial effect of punching directly through the Emperor's Children ship Andronicus, destroying it utterly. With this turn of speed the Sisypheum was able to escape the Traitor Legion fleets and continue on its way. [1d]

During the Sisypheum's raid on Luna during the Siege of Terra, Thamatica stayed aboard the vessel. When Sabik Wayland and Nykona Sharrowkyn returned to the Sisypheum, Thamtica linked himself directly into the Machine Spirit of the ship to command point defenses to bring down Sons of Horus Thunderhawks. The act saved his comrades and the precious cargo they carried, but killed Thamatica in the neural backlash.[2]
