The '''Blind King''' was a rogue [[Tech Priest]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Viewing humanity as an affront to the [[Omnissiah]], the Blind King would gather Apostles within the Mechanicus and launch the [[Occlusiad War]]{{Fn|1a}} (in 550.[[M37]]){{Fn|1b}}, a devastating conflict that lasted over a decade. The Blind King would be killed when the [[Emperor Class Battleship]] ''[[Dominus Astra]]'' discovered his palace-warship in the [[Warp]] and destroyed it with [[lance]] fire. Without their leader his apostles swiftly scattered and the War finally came to an end.{{Fn|1a1}}
