Goetos
Goetos was the Exorcists Chief Librarian, when their fate was changed and they became a Chapter of Daemon hunters.[1]
History
This occurred when the Exorcists went to the aid of the Imperial Totem System, which had been invaded by the Lord of Change Keriath. The Chapter would clash with Keriath's Daemonic forces on Totem IV, where the Exorcists were able to withstand their Warp powers. This outraged Keriath, who then possessed the Exorcists' Chapter Master, Enoch Trismegistus and began to damage their war footing. However Enoch resisted the Greater Daemon and in doing so, awoke a measure of his own latent psychic ability. This allowed the Chapter Master to psychically contact Goetos, and together they banished Keriath back to the Warp.[1]
Enoch's possession, however, was discovered by the Radical Ordo Malleus Plutonians sect, who interrogated him to see if he had become corrupted. As they did so, the Plutonians shared their belief that the controlled usage of daemonic possessed forces could be wielded back against Daemons. The Chapter Master was intrigued by their theories, as he had become changed by absorbing Keriath's vast intellect and could now see the genius of the Plutonians' plan. After Enoch was declared free of taint by the Plutonians, he suggested they work together to test the Plutonians' theories. Using Enoch's own Chapter as hosts, the Plutonians began to create the first modern Exorcists and they continue to do so to this day.[1]
