'''Ronrul Illutar''' was the [[Prime Hermeticon]] of [[Forge World]] [[Hephaesto]], the head of the world's High Council and effectively the [[Planetary Governor]]. He adopted the mantle of [[Tech-Priest Dominus]] to lead [[Battle for Hephaesto|the defense]] of the Forge World ]] against invading [[Orks]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
In his service to [[Hephaesto]], Illutar has pierced the [[Veiled Region]] with an [[Expeditionary Fleet]] and returned with three different ancient [[STC]] databases. One of which was used to regulate his [[Forge World]]'s volcanic nature and convert the limitless power of the magma core into efficient energy for Hephaesto's Forges. Illutar had also negotiated peace between the [[Knight House]]s [[House Nansus|Nansus]] and [[House Coneale|Coneale]], when their conflicting honour-oaths almost led them to tearing the [[Sector]] they reside in apart. Thus when the Forge World's previous Prime Hermeticon died, Illutar was unanimously chosen to replace her in its Primary Forge, '''Node Primus''', and to take her seat in Hephaesto's '''High Council'''. This made him the highest-ranking Tech Priest on Hephaesto, so when the Orks of the [[Tekwaaagh!]] and the [[Freebooter]] [[Badrukk]] invaded in [[M42]], Illutar took on the mantle of [[Tech-Priest Dominus]]. {{Fn|1a}} However , while he Ilutar was successful in other fields, war was not one of them and . Illutar gravely underestimated the orks, arrogantly thought thinking of the Orks them as nothing but tool -wielding animals. He would not listen to anyone who stated otherwise and focused his attention in on defending Node Primus, where the High Council resided, even as other Forges began to fall to the Orks. The Dominus also dismissed any concerns and suggestions from the other High Council members when the Orks did not attack the ambush positions he had established{{Fn|1a}}. Worse still, Illutar repeatedly counter-manned the military orders of Node Primus' [[Secutor]] Field Commander [[Haphax Mitranda]], when they Mitranda attempted to bypass the Dominus' unproductive battle-plans. This long lists list of mistakes by Illutar, eventually allowed the Orks to successfully invade Node Primus.{{Fn|1b}}
