Ganimus
Ganimus was an Eversor Assassin who, before his transformation, was a street urchin that lived in the Primus Hive of Proxima Apocryphis.[1]
When he heard that a great war would soon fall upon Proxima Apocryphis, Ganimus went to join his Hive World's Imperial Army Regiment, the Apocryphadi Hort, but was turned away due to his appearance. Disheartened, he later joined a Hive gang, but during a battle with their rivals, one of his fellow gang members shot him in the back and left him behind as they retreated. After the rival Hive gang was finished with Ganimus, he was found by the Hive's enforcers and imprisoned, before being sentenced to hard labour.[1]
This ended when he was sold into slavery and became a pit fighter, who was later bought by Baron Chravius Blumolotov, a nephew of Proxima Apocryphis' Planetary Governor. Eventually though, Blumolotov sold Ganimus to an agent of the Sigillite, who had him turned into an Eversor Assassin and gave him the name Ganimus. Once the process was complete, the Sigillite met with Ganimus and gave him the mission of killing his former owner Blumolotov, who by then had become Proxima Apocryphis' Planetary Governor and had turned the Hive World to Horus' cause. When Ganimus landed upon the Hive World, he infiltrated its Primus Hive and began laying waste to anyone he came across, including nearly destroying an entire Regiment of troops. Ganimus finally reached Blumolotv's office at the top of the Hive and killed the traitorous Planetary Governor, even as he pleaded he was loyal to the Emperor.[1]
