Machine God
The Machine God is the deity of the Cult Mechanicus.[1]
The Machine God, also known as the Deus Mechanicus,[1][2][3] He who is three-in-one,[4a] the three in one,[5a] the triple god,[5b] the prime architect,[4b] and God-Machine,[6] is the ultimate object of worship in the Cult Mechanicus. It is the Machine God that gave rise to all technologies and made them manifest through his chosen among mankind.[1] Organic life is the Machine-God’s greatest accomplishment within the scope of the Great Work. The Machine God created the complex weaknesses of flesh so his followers might learn metallic strength, and ascend to his level of machinic perfection.[4a]
The Machine God is a singular entity, but is also part of a combined trinity with the Omnissiah and Motive Force.[1][2]
