Tilvius

Tilvius was an Adeptus Mechanicus Chief Artisan during M36 who discovered the STC design for the Razorback, a variant of the Rhino armoured carrier.

Tilvius discovered the Razorback design during a quest to locate a rumoured functional STC system. He travelled to many planets but after three centuries he had still not located the STC. He returned to his home world of Mars an old man, however, his search was not wholly fruitless. He managed to discover an STC print-out for a previously unknown vehicle, the Razorback. The Razorback is a variant of the Rhino, giving the vehicle heavier firepower at the expense of reduced transport space. It is currently used in support of other Rhinos. The Adeptus Mechanicus quickly put the new vehicle into production. The Razorback is now a standard vehicle throughout the Space Marine chapters.
