Deacon


 * Back Story**

Deacon was born into the working class in 792.m37 on the minor forge world of Esmides. From an early age he was ostracized by his community, the only joy he found was repairing defective APC which ended up catching the eye of one of the supervising Adeptus Mechanicus and was recommended to enter the priesthood. Deacon, never accepted by society had now finally found acceptance after joining their ranks.

811.m37 the 7th Black Crusade erupts from the Eye of Terror and Esmides is one of the planets caught by one of Abbadon’s splinter fleets look to pillage military equipment. A massive battle ground battle takes place between the planet’s PDF soldiers and the a large force of heretic’s and a small force of Chaos Space Marines from the Black Legion. Deacon was assigned frontline duty to keep the war machines in working condition. On the battlefield he became no strange to combat and soon became very effective at protecting and maintaining their machines of war.

Late into 812.m37 the heretical army made a massive push to break the PDF front lines, spearheading the assault was their most powerful sorcerer Apan. Bolstered by daemon Saekon, Apan wielding witch fire he carved a path straight through the PDF forces attempting to destroy artillery that had harried the Chaos forces from the beginning. The attack came so swiftly that none could escape. Deacon, attempting to repair one of the many Basilisk’s was caught right in the assault before Deacon realised the situation, Apan stood before him at no more than arms length and covered him in a torrent of witch fire, an attack that no man could have weathered. and yet there stood Deacon, without a scratch on him and a dumbfounded Apan. So stunned was Apan that he didn’t even react when Deacon plunged his power axe into his skull, killing him instantly and breaking the Chaos spearhead.

The final events of the assault on the PDF forces did not go unwitnessed. Reports made their way back to the Magos of the forge world and it wasn’t long after that a Adeptus Mecahnicus Secutor fleet arrived and a meeting of the Tech-Magi, from the fleet and from the forge world. It was decided that we would join the fleet and become inducted into the ranks of the Secutors where he would study the arts of war and command.

During his service to the Secutors he learned about his rare condition that allowed him to resist the powers and corruption of the warp and was often place in situations where he would, with and without support, have to face down rogue pskyers, heretical sorcerers, daemons and their allies. he was ideal for this situation as he was walked away from the situation untouched. But above all of this the Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Magi’s stressed that his role, missions, and condition must remain a secret to all except a few.
