Arrian Zorzi
Arrian Zorzi is an Apothecary of the World Eaters.
During the Siege of Terra, Zorzi went into the forest to pray and when he returned he spontaneously murdered his Battle-Brothers and took their skulls. Zorzi was subsequently exiled from the Legion, and killed even more of his Battle-Brothers. Thanks to what he calls "old faith" in himself, Zorzi claims he has overcome the insanity of the Butcher's Nails. However, he still hears the mocking voices of those he slew.[1a]
Arrian eventually joined the Consortium of Fabius Bile and rose to become his Equerry. Arrian accompanied Bile and Oleander Koh during their organization of The Shattering of M34.[1] He continued to work for Bile during the journey to Solemnace to recover the lost Gene-Seed tithe. Staying aboard the Vesalius as Bile and his troops traveled to the surface, Zorzi and Igori were forced to contend with the treachery of Flavius Alkenex and his warband of Emperor's Children. During a confrontation against Alkenex and his men aboard the bridge of the Vesalius, Zorzi finally let the Butcher's Nails overcome him and in a frenzy massacred most of the Emperor's Children. However he was badly wounded by Alkenex, but managed to survive thanks to the intervention of Bile's clone of Fulgrim.[1b]
