Erasmus Zachau was a Necromunda Xenologist, whose hunting of Underhive beasts led to the creation of the Principia Xenocarum Xenology text.[1]

Born a House Noble in Necromunda's Hive Primus, Zachau became a playboy and a dilettante who spent his days exploring its Underhive. He did so, to pose as a heroic slayer of beasts, similar to a mythological champion, but Zachau insisted on being accompanied by an entourage of servants while doing so. It was their job to record pict footage of the triumphs he had over the beasts of the Underhive. Later, as an older man, Zachau decided to employee an unnamed scholar to produce a book detailing every creature he had slain. The scholar managed to navigate Zachau's vainglorious boasting and produced a slender, but valuable, Xenology text known as the Principia Xenocarum.[1]
