'''Xi-Nu 73''' was a [[Tech Priest]] of the [[Legio Cybernetica]].

He served as the [[Cybernetica Datasmith]] of the 9th Maniple of the Carthage Cohort. During the [[Great Crusade]] he was attached to the [[1,301st Expeditionary Fleet]] and worked closely with the [[Word Bearers]] [[Serrated Sun]] [[Chapter]] under [[Argel Tal]].{{fn|1b}} Xi-Nu was heavily mechanical and typical for Tech-Adepts at the time, but nonetheless demonstrated a bond with the Serrated Sun, in no small part because his [[Conqueror Class Robot|Conqueror Primus]] ''[[Incarnadine (Robot)|Incarnadine]]'' had been inducted as an honorary member of the Legion.{{fn|1c}} Xi-Nu followed the Word Bearers into rebellion against the [[Imperium]], and was killed protecting [[Cyrene Valantion]] from [[Adeptus Custodes]] shortly after the [[Drop Site Massacre]].{{Fn|1d}}
