Changes

Archmagos Veneratus Scaeros then arrived with three maniples of [[servitor|death servitors]], and they were forced to make a last stand on the remains of a fallen [[Reaver Battle Titan]], as the Hellforger began its descent from orbit. Recognising Scaeros, Antigonus broke ranks to try and kill him, followed by Saphentis. Saphentis gave his life delaying Scaeros long enough for Antigonus to take over a nearby [[Warhound Scout Titan]] and crush both of them underfoot. It was then that the [[Castigator]] rose from its tomb to be picked up by the Hellforger, as was part of the tribute that Chaeroneia's Dark Mechanicus had offered to [[Warmaster]] [[Abaddon]]. The Castigator swiftly destroyed Antigonus's Warhound; but he managed to lure it close enough for the Grey Knights to board the Castigator and destroy it as well as the daemon possessing it. Antigonus survived the Warhound's destruction by transferring his consciousness into one of the Dark Mechanicus' war engines, and ferried them to safety when the enraged Hellforger began bombarding the Titan works with its [[Lance]] battery. They were later picked up by the Adeptus Mechanicus ship the Exemplar in orbit. Antigonus was put into quarantine and submitted to all of [[Magos]] [[Thurgild]]'s tests. He passed without any indication of corruption, and Thurgild agreed to him being taken back to Mars so that he could fulfill his original mission and report back to the Fabricator General of his investigations on [[Chaeroneia]]. A new vault was then opened in the STC Archive beneath [[Mars]] to contain and seal the information from Antigonus' report.

Antigonus's original body had many sophisticated augmentations, including a bionic eye, [[mechadendrite]]s, and a facility with information systems that could access data networks with ease. After his murder by the Dark Mechanicus, Antigonus gained the ability to transfer his consciousness into various machinery, as long as that particular [[machine spirit|machine's spirit]] wasn't strong enough to oppose him.
