Decima (Dreadblade Knight)
Decima is a Dreadblade Knight who pilots the Incarnate Slaughter.
Once known as Incarnate Valour, the murderous Knight Rampager and its pilot Decima fell to Chaos during battle as a lance of House Merridon, in which every last Knight of the household strove to halt the rampant advance of Hive Fleet Hydra that was fast approaching their world. The bold, final charge was doomed to failure due to being outnumbered by billions, each Knight was cut down and picked apart by the unending xenos swarms. Incarnate Valour was the last warrior standing, and in its Throne Mechanicum remained a single imperative – kill. It was at this point that a warp breach appeared beneath its feet, drawing the engine into the empyrean. Since then, Incarnate Slaughter has appeared on dozens of other worlds. Though it is primarily drawn to worlds infested by Tyranids, the Knight Rampager will turn its rage on any enemy with which it is faced.[2]
Decima is known to have appeared alongside the forces of Khorne in the First War for Armageddon.[2a]
