The '''Fabricator-General''', also known as the '''Magos Mechanicus''', is the highest ranking position of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. A Fabricator-General oversees his respective [[Forge World]] along with his deputy, the [[Fabricator-Locum]].{{Fn|5}}
While many Forge Worlds have its their own Fabricator-General, it is the Fabricator-General of the [[Mechanicum]] homeworld of [[Mars]] that is the most powerful and prestigious. In addition to overseeing the general Mechanicum, the Fabricator-General of Mars is the head of the [[Cult Mechanicus]] and speaker of the [[Martian Parliament]]{{Fn|3}}. The Fabricator-General of Mars is most often chosen from the Forge Master of the [[Olympus Mons]] [[Forge]].{{Fn|4}}
As the leading figure of one of the [[Imperium]]'s most powerful and influential organizations, he is invariably a member of the [[High Lords of Terra]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
During the early days of the [[Great Crusade]], the Mechanicum was led by the [[Martian Parliament]]. The Fabricator-General acted as the Martian ambassador to [[Terra]] and had a seat on the [[War Council of the Great Crusade]].{{Fn|3}} At some point before [[Kelbor-Hal]] held the position, the post had evolved into the leader of the Mechanicum.
At the end of the [[41st Millennium]] the Fabricator-General was [[Oud Oudia Raskian]], but his position is being threatened by [[Archmagos]] [[Belisarius Cawl]], the famed creator of the [[Primaris Space Marine]]s. Cawl has been pushing the recently resurrected [[Lord Commander]] [[Roboute Guilliman]] to make him Fabricator-General, but the [[Primarch]] distrusts Cawl and believes he borders the [[Heretek|Heretekal]].{{Fn|6}}
