Order of the Procurators
The Order of the Procurators, or Vor Nergeth, were Horus Heresy-era Word Bearers Apothecaries. Instead of being healers, however, the Procurators searched for dead or wounded Loyalist Legionaries in battles, so they could be ritually desecrated in order to summon forth Daemons.[1a]
Description
Of particular allure to the Procurators, were the Loyalist's Progenoid Glands as they which proved particularly potent in attracting the most powerful and aggressive beings of the Warp[1b]. In order for the summoning to occur, the Procurators tore out the Progenoids of their sacrifices, as they muttered catechisms of damnation in order to secure the Daemons' aid. While this occurred, the Procurators were helped by Word Bearers[1a] known as Procurants, who served as their apprentices[1b]. They also served as zealous bodyguards, who were fanatically devoted to the Procurators for the blessed atrocities they committed. As their masters chanted over the dying sacrifices, the Procurants would hack arcane ruins into their victims, which caused the veil to the Warp to weaken. This allowed the Daemons the Procurators had bargained with, to enter Realspace and fall upon the Word Bearers' foes[1a]. The ritual would also imbue the Procurators and Procurants with the stolen life force of their victims, which reinvigorated them[1b]. However sometimes the summoned Daemons would reject their sacrifices as being unworthy and they would then attack the Traitor Legion and anyone else that was around them.[1a]
Besides using their victims as sacrifices to Daemons, the Procurators would also take body parts as trophies to adorn their power armor with[1a]. The Procurators and Procurants could also go to battle equipped with Warhawk Jump Packs.[1b]
