'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[Tech-Priest]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] during the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}
The Master of Mondus Gamma, one of [[Mars]]' largest Forges, Lukas Chrom was a member of [[Fabricator-General]] [[Kelbor-Hal]]'s inner circle and a founding member of the [[Dark Mechanicum]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}. Before his treachery, he was a leading expert and producer in [[Automata]] and greatly resented the [[Emperor]]'s ban on [[Artificial Intelligence]].{{Fn|3a}} Shortly before the [[Horus Heresy]], Chrom constructed an advanced robot known as the [[Kaban Machine]] despite the [[Imperial]] ban on [[Abominable Intelligence|artificial intelligence]]{{Fn|1c}}. He was a key anti-Imperial commander during the ensuing [[Schism of Mars]], with his Kaban Machine launching the opening shots of the war by attacking Adept [[Ipluvien Maximal]]'s reactor at Gigas Fossae.{{Fn|1d}}

He twice clashed with loyalist raids on Mars, first in the [[Perditum Incursion]] where he was badly wounded by [[Shield Captain]] [[Morvae Arcas]].{{Fn|3b}} The second clash was the [[Arca Silentus]] affair, where he was again forced to flee before [[Praetor (Rank)|Praetor]] [[Aster Crohne]].{{Fn|2c3c}}
