I'ts wrong! It was only speculation and even in the next sentence it's said that obviously Fabius Bile corrupted code himself. See 'Talk' page.

'''Enhanced Warriors''', also known as '''Terata'''{{Fn|4b}} are subjects, who, either willingly or unwillingly, undergo extensive genetic manipulation at the hands of [[Fabius Bile]]. Fabius began development of these warriors in his position of [[Apothecary|Chief Apothecary]] of the [[Emperor's Children]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] when [[Horus]] gave him an improved [[gene-seed]] code stolen by the [[Alpha Legion]] from the [[Raven Guard]]. However unknown to Fabius [[Alpharius]] had secretly Bile corrupted the received code and as a result, much like the Raven Guard's [[Raptor (Raven Guard)|Raptors]] before themcreated abominations, though his initial experiments were short-lived mutations.{{Fn|4c}}{{Fn|5}} Some of the Enhanced Warriors were made from the [[Iron Hands]], [[Salamanders]], [[World Eaters]], [[Death Guard]], [[Alpha Legion]], [[Word Bearers]], [[Sons of Horus]]{{Fn|4c}} and [[Imperial Fists]].{{Fn|4d}}
Twisted in body and mind, these enhanced warriors exhibit strength and reactions many times greater than standard [[human]]s and can surpass even [[Space Marine]]s. Bile considers his Enhanced Warriors to be his proudest achievement and an artistic achievement, considering them a type of "New Man".{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} The unsuccessful experiments, however, turn into raving beasts, and even the successfully transformed Enhanced Warriors are prone to fits of instability.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
