Aulus Scaramanca was a Techmarine-in-training in the Iron Warriors Legion, during the Horus Heresy.[1]
Biography
Initially loyal to the Imperium, and training on Mars to become a full techmarine he was assumed killed during the schism by corrupted mechanicum machines. In actuality he survived and was found by the Dark Mechanicum who turned him into a giant mechanical construct. The resulting heavily corrupted Scaramanca was charged with fortifying Mars in preparation for the arrival of the Warmaster. Scaramanca judged that the Vertex Australis was Mars' greatest weakpoint and set out to fortify the area. While fortifying the Vertex Australis, Scaramanca came into conflict with the Tabula Myriad which sought to destroy the ancient machine. During this conflict the heavily corrupted warrior was eventually slain by the Knight-Errant Dravian Klayde who was on a mission on Mars to assist the Tabula Myriad.[2]
