Oud Oudia Raskian is the current Fabricator-General of Mars and served as one of the High Lord of Terra, during the Thirteenth Black Crusade.[1a]

Due to his extensive cybernetic augmentation, Oud is more building than man and is thus the most difficult High Lord to speak to directly. Moving his form to the Great Chamber of the Senatorum Imperialis requires extensive logistical work and construction. During the Fall of Cadia, he was among the High Lords most against the proposal of dissolving the Edict of Restraint put forth by Chancellor of the Imperial Council Lev Tieron that would have allowed the Adeptus Custodes to leave Terra.[1b] Accoring to Tieron, what Raskian fears most is that his organizations uncertainty over the very technology they claim mastery over is exposed.[1c]

Alongside Master of the Astronomican Leops Franck and Speaker for the Chartist Captains Kania Dhanda Oud Oudia Raskian was one of the three High Lords of Terra who collaborated with Lord Inquisitor Adamara Rassilo to smuggle a Dark Eldar Haemonculus onto Terra in order to repair the failing Golden Throne.[2]

Raskian eventually traveled into Commorragh itself to complete his transactions with Archon Shae-Morvain of the Kabal of the Still-Living Knife, though according to Erasmus Crowl his plan only delayed the death of the Golden Throne by a few centuries. Crowl, his retinue, and the Custodian Navradaran intervened and caused fighting to break out between the Imperium and the Kabal's forces. As the two sides tore at each other, Raskian's core unit[3] successfully[4] fled back to Luna through a Webway Gate.[3] In the years since the battle took place, rumors have spread that Archmagos Dominus Cawl seeks to use his powerful position within the Imperium, to replace Raskian as Mars' Fabricator-General. However when he was directly asked about this, during a conclave with several high-ranking Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Cawl denied he had any desire to do so. Furthermore, the Dominus stated that he did not have the means to replace Raskian, even if he truly wanted to.[4]
