Hortensio's Knight, the Undeniable

Hortensio is a Knight of House Terryn.^[1]

Before the time of the Great Crusade, the Knight Undeniable was so battle damaged that only desperation kept it in commission. The Crusader pattern Knight had lost both of its primary weapons, and was using makeshift guns fashioned by the armourers, for the ability to remake such weapons had been lost upon Voltoris. After contact was re-established with Mankind, and the full technological capabilities of the Imperium were at the disposal of House Terryn, many needed repairs were undertaken. Once its new weapons were in place, the Undeniable’s livery was changed to reflect that bond – the gun shields of the new weapons bore the same blazing red background upon which the Aquila appeared. After a great many pilots, Sir Hortensio has now bonded with Undeniable, taking that venerable suit once more into battle.^[1]
