Lortex is an Iron Hands Techmarine, who is currently a part of the strike force led by Iron Captain Sind Grolvoch.[1]

History

He is known to be driven by a cold and unshakable belief in his mission and Lortex has heavily modified his body with scores of Bionics. The Techmarine uses these replacements, as another means of reaching his goal of achieving greater communion with the Chapter's machines. Among his many feats, is that Lortex's whispered prayers hold the power to stir a machine's spirit to life or unjam a machine's bolt weapons. He has also been honored on several occasions, for his cool-headedness in the face of impossible odds. This has led Lortex to be considered the very embodiment of the Iron Hands' creed, which many of his Battle Brothers aspire to.[1]

Perhaps the Techmarine's most notable exploit, however, took place during the Mechrid Eclipse, where the Iron Hands fought an Ork horde. As the battle raged, the Venerable Dreadnought Rorlaan became immobilized and, after learning of this, Lortex clinically carved his way through a mob of Nobz in order to reach the Dreadnought. Then, while under heavy Ork fire, the Techmarine made the repairs that allowed Rorlaan to function once more and the Dreadnought proceeded to crush the life out of the horde's Warlord. The Warlord's death caused the Orks to be defeated, but the Iron Hands' victory would have proven impossible, if not for Lortex's heroic actions.[1]
