Urtzi Malevolus: From Loyal Tech-Priest to Dark Mechanicum Traitor
Urtzi Malevolus: Tech-Priest of the Great Crusade
Urtzi Malevolus was once a high-ranking Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus, a loyal servant of the Imperium during the Great Crusade. He held a close relationship with Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal, the leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and played a significant role in the early days of the Mechanicum’s contribution to the Imperium. Malevolus was deeply involved in the advancement of technology and the enhancement of humanity, working within the constraints of the Machine God’s teachings. His expertise and ambition made him an influential figure within the Imperium, highly respected by his peers.
The Fall to the Dark Mechanicum
However, as the Horus Heresy unfolded, Urtzi Malevolus was drawn into the dark allure of Chaos, eventually becoming a founding member of the Dark Mechanicum. The Schism of Mars marked a pivotal moment in his transformation, as he broke away from the Imperium and joined the forces of Chaos. His shift was not just ideological but also deeply personal, as Malevolus sought to break free from the limitations imposed by the Imperium and embrace the forbidden technologies and powers of the Ruinous Gods. As a commander of the anti-imperial forces during the Schism of Mars, Malevolus became a symbol of the corruption and betrayal within the Adeptus Mechanicus, fully embracing the dark path of the Dark Mechanicum.
