'''{{PAGENAME}}Phaeton Laurentis''' was a [[Tech-Priest]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Traveling with an [[Imperial Fists]] expedition to the world of [[Ardamantua]] to study the [[Xenos]] [[Chromes]], Laurentis was subsequently plunged into the opening shots of the [[War of the Beast]] when the world was flooded by [[Orks]]. As the world shattered around them, Laurentis managed to save three [[Imperial Fists]] while they went into self-healing status, among them Captain [[Koorland]].{{Fn|1}} Laurentis himself went into a comatose state and was buried under rubble shortly after.{{Fn|2}}
Months later Laurentis' body and the three Fists were discovered on the ruins of Ardamantua by a Mechanicum expedition led by [[Artisan]] [[Argus Van Auken]]. While Koorland was revived and ultimately became the last known survivor of his Chapter, the Mecanicum was doubtful Laurentis could be saved.{{Fn|2}}
