The Hexarchy was a group composed of both current and deposed High Lords, who refused to accept the reforms Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman imposed upon the Imperium.[1a]
They were led by Irthu Haemotalion, the former Master of the Administratum who had been dismissed by Guilliman, and also included the deposed Baldo Slyst and the current High Lords Aveliza Drachmar, Mar Av Ashariel, Merelda Pereth and Fadix. Using their vast resources, the Hexarchy attempted to forcibly take control of Terra, while Lord Commander Guilliman was away conducting the Indomitus Crusade. Once Terra was theirs, the Hexarchy would then have command of the Imperium and would undo Guilliman's changes[1b], ensuring Imperium Eterna was restored[1a]. They even dared to use the Minotaurs Space Marines Chapter, which arrived on Terra in its full might to bolster the Hexarchy.[1d] However their plot ended in failure, after it was revealed that Fadix's loyalty to the Hexarchy's cause had been a ruse from the start. He was the Grand Master of Assassins and after a signal was given, each of the Hexarchy's members were killed by Fadix's well placed assassins. The Minotaurs had been used to bring the coup members into the open.[1c]
