Sire of Doom
The Sire of Doom is a Dreadblade Knight.
The Renegade was once the Noble Kiro of House Daitan until the Mnos Catastrophe. In that conflict, the Knights of Daitan, defended Imperial Forge Worlds from an invasion by the Dark Mechanicum, but they were overwhelmed and captured. Afterwards the Knights were bound within a Soul Forge and were tortured in a Chaos ritual, by having agonizing Warp currents sent surging through them. One by one the Knights gave into the pain and exploded, which sent their share of the Warp current to the survivors. Soon only Kino was left, but his Knight suit, Sire of Doom, was driven insane as it was flooded with the tortured deaths of the Nobles of House Daitan. The Dark Mechanicum then finished their ritual by sealing the Sire of Doom in its state of utter despair. Now the tortured Knight can see nothing, but the scarred and twisted faces of its Dark Mechanicum captors at every turn, which causes it to lash out at anyone near it. The Knight's Dark Mechanicum masters are well aware of this and in battle they lead the Sire of Doom to where it can cause the most damage.[1]
