History
Antigonus was sent by the [[Fabricator General]] of [[Mars]] to investigate and debunk the rumours of a heretical [[Dark Mechanicus]] cell on the [[Forge World]] [[Chaeroneia]]. Antigonus discovered the cell, but was forced to flee by the heretics, with his [[servitor]] Epsilon three-twelve in tow. On his third day, Antigonus came to the datacore valley, and while dictating his report to Epsilon three-twelve, was contacted by the heretics through the projections in Chaeroneia's sky. They entreated him to join them, telling him that the Avatar of the [[Omnissiah]] was amongst them and that he could be their prophet; but Antigonus refused. Declaring that Antigonus was obsolete and a disappointment, the heretics ordered Epsilon three-twelve to kill him. Antigonus bested his hijacked servitor, but was severely wounded, and fled beneath a nearby industrial complex. He discovered that the earlier voice came from the [[daemon]] [[Azulathis]], which had been hiding in the servos that powered his leg bracings, and blew them out with his [[autogun]]. Limping on, Antigonus found a stratum full of huge, ancient, and obsolete data-engines, and was cornered there by the heretics after the daemon immobilised his leg.{{Fn|1a}}
The heretics' leader revealed himself as Archmagos Veneratus [[Scaecros]], and ordered Azulathis to kill Antigonus. The daemon began infecting all of his bionics and causing them to short-circuit. Antigonus maintained enough control to jab one of his [[mechadrendritemechadendrite]]s into the closest data-engine, forcing the daemon to flow through the point of least resistance and enter the machine, and withdrew before it could turn back. Scaeros' [[servitor]] then killed Antigonus with its breacher drill. However, Antigonus was able to shift his consciousness into one of the data-engines before he died, due to it being very old technology that was so advanced as to be able to contain all the data required to reconstruct a human mind.{{Fn|1a}}
It took Antigonus hundreds of years to gradually put himself together again. He found that he could move through machines as long as a particular [[machine spirit|machine's spirit]] was not strong enough to oppose him. He discovered that Chaeroneia had entered the [[Warp]] while he was dead, and went underground to gather the few loyal [[Techpriest]]s who remained and founded a resistance movement.{{Fn|1x}}
