Once an [[Apothecary]] in the [[Death Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion]] whose true name has long been purged from all records, when the Legion's fleet was lost in the [[Warp]] and invaded by the agonizing diseases of the [[Gods of Chaos|Chaos God]] [[Nurgle]], Necrosius eventually turned to the Plague God himself for salvation along with most of his Legion. Embracing the service of his new God, Necrosius cast aside his past role as a healer and gave himself to the pursuit of Daemonic sorcery. With the zealous conviction of a true convert, Necrosius quickly gathered a following among others in the Death Guard and these disciples became the first Apostles of Contagion.<sup>1</sup>
