Hermiatus

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Hermiatus was a renegade Tech Priest Biologis, whose experimentation with Genestealers led to the downfall of Necromunda's Hive Secundus in 879.M41.[1]

In his hubris, Hermiatus thought he could concoct an anti-gene to prevent a Genestealer infesting a population and began his experiments in Necromunda's Hive Secundus. However the experimentation ended in disaster and Hermiatus' captured Genestealers escaped, after one infected the Biologis. The now corrupted Heretek fled soon afterwards, as the Genestealers went on to infect a large number of Hive Secoundus' population. Hermiatus was eventually brought to justice in the Beta Magellan Sector, by the Inquisition and their allies at Gorinum Station; while the now infested Hive Secundus was toppled and a ring of defenses was made around its ruins.[1]
