Qux of the Eyeless was a Magister of the Chaos forces which overran the Sabbat Worlds.[1]

In 761.M41 he inflicted a crushing defeat on the Imperials during the Parthenope Disaster. Following the Battle of Balhaut, Qux rallied his forces in Parthenope, raiding several Imperial worlds in the process. [2a] General Onator and twenty Astra Militarum divisions was sent to face him. The General, complacent after the victory at Balhaut watched the Magister's line collapse inward during the initial assault and pressed the assault, only find his forces encircled. Outflanked and taking heavy casualties, Onator sent desperate signals for assistance and pulled his forces back to the mining town of Toronon.[2b]

He held the town for three weeks until reinforcements from the Adeptus Mechanicus arrived to relieve him. Unfortunately, Qux had been provided with Titans drawn from the Dark Mechanicus. These war engines, obliterated the Mechanicus reinforcements over the course of nine days. With no further reinforcements, Onator and his forces were slaughtered to a man, with their final fate being suppressed by the Inquisition for moral reasons. [2b]

Emboldened by his victory, Qux pursued and destroyed the Imperial Navy and Basilikon Astra forces that had transported Onator and his Mechanicus allies, annihilating them in one of the largest fleet engagements of the campaign. The resulting destruction created the vast Antioch Debris Field. [2b]
