Paneum
Paneum was a Magos Explorator who launched an expedition into the Ghoul Stars to explore the Dead World Kaen IV.[1]
In order to prepare for the expedition, the Magos seconded forces from war zones along the North-eastern Fringe, and the Baron Roland of House Cadmus offered his aid so he could repay an old debt to Paneum. When the Magos' forces reached Kaen IV's surface, he led them down into a vast crater he discovered, which contained an ancient Xenos artefact. However, when the Magos began experimenting on the artefact, it emitted a green light through which a large horde of Necrons emerged from. The Xenos fell upon the unprepared forces of the Magos and in the slaughter that followed, Baron Roland tried to reach Paneum, but he could only watch as a towering Necron impaled the Magos on a blazing staff of light. In the end, Paneum's forces were massacred and only Roland was able to escape to the Magos' ships in orbit.[1]
