'''Kryptaestrex''' is a [[Tech-Priest Dominus]] from [[Mars]] who is one of the few of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to claim mastery over how the power of the Warp helps devices designed for traveling through or peering into its screaming depths function. He has perfected this craft in the shipyards of Mars, where he researched the mysterious workings of [[warp engine]]s and [[geller field]]s and would often accompany expeditions to recover these arterfacts from wrecks and space graveyards. It was on one such expedition to the [[Gothic Sector]], that Kryptaestrex first became aware of the [[Webway]] and its [[Webway Portal|portals]]; as during a bitter conflict with [[Eldar Corsair]]s, he witnessed the [[Xenos]] appearing as if from nowhere and then vanishing just as abruptly. Fascinated by the phenomenon, Kryptaestrex began hunting out more examples of this technology and spent years leading costly expeditions to ruined worlds, in order to find more Webway Portals. With the Adeptus Mechanicus forces at his command, the Dominus crushed anyone who stood in the way of his goal: be they Xenos empires, hostile human settlements and even the forces of other Forge Worlds. Every scrap of the Webway Portals he discovered, were then brought back to Mars for his research, but Kryptaestrex eventually concluded he needed to observe the portals in action; to fully understand how they functioned.{{Fn|1}}
