Veil
Veil was a standard Human vassal and magister of the Navis Nobilite during the Great Crusade. Sworn to House Achelieux, Veil was loosely aware of his masters Pieter Achelieux's secret project but was left behind on the world of Herevail. When the world was invaded by the Emperor's Children during the Horus Heresy, Veil was one of the few survivors and was rescued by the White Scars, who sought the location of Pieter.[1a]
Veil ultimately proved the final piece of the puzzle for the Scars to discover the location of Pieter's project, Dark Glass, and he was among those who boarded the station. However once aboard, Veil revealed that he was under orders from the Paternova himself to destroy Dark Glass due to the threat it posed to the Navis Nobilite's power. Despite the intervention of Targutai Yesugei, Veil was successful in detonating himself with two vortex charges, which caused the breakdown of the station.[1b]
