Zargad Ket is an Emperor's Children Apothecary, who served in the Horus Heresy and was later a member of Fabius Bile's Consortium.[1a]

Though he came late to the art of the Apothecary, Ket was a quick study who easily grasped the most difficult concepts Bile taught him. It was for this reason, that Ket served as crèche-master for Bile young and newborn New Men on Belial IV. It was his duty to ensure they were cared for, until the New Men became old enough to fend for themselves, which Ket did extremely well[1a]. His duties then became his obsession, as Ket viewed his work as helping to perfect a species[1b]. Bile's confidence in Ket was such, that he would overlook Ket's curt nature and unwillingness to observe the niceties of rank[1a]. When Bile began to be hunted by the Coven of the Thirteen Scars in 991.M37, many of his creations were destroyed by the Haemonculi as they tried to kill him. This included the New Men and while Bile made preparations to save many of them within the Omega Redoubt, he sought out clients in 992.M37, that could make use of some of his New Men and defend them as well. One such client was the Alpha Legion, who sent the Harrowmaster Pero to gauge the worth of young New Men, for their plots against the Imperium. Pero was soon satisfied with the mock combat trials he held and agreed to take a number of the New Men with him to the Alpha Legion. Bile though, asked Ket to go with Pero and watch over the young New Men until the Alpha Legion made use of them. Both knew that with the Coven becoming closer to discovering Bile was on Belial IV, it was likely they would not see each other again. Due to both his loyalty to Bile and the death of his dear friend, and fellow Consortium member, Marag at the Coven's hands, Ket reluctantly agreed.[1b]

Psychical Appearance

Ket notably looks like an Eldar with feline eyes, though, he butchered the last person who made such a comparison.[1a]
