{{AdeptusMechanicusPortal}}
[[Archmagos]] '''Amarnat''' was widely believed to be an [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] scholar of great renown whose radical philosophies brought about major shifts in the religious heart of the cult. While never outright branded a [[Heretek]], he was considered a [[Maletek]] and banished from engaging with the formal hierarchy of the Cult.{{Fn|1a}}
{{spoiler|source=Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (Video Game)}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a group of [[Tech-Priests]] who renounced individuality and merged into a hivemind. It was designed to be a philosopher and researcher. The concepts they produced almost destroyed the [[Cognisance Fleet]]. While working with [[Theodora von Valancius]], they developed a weapons-grade strain of Tech-Blight as well as its antidote: [[Eschatos]].{{Fn|1b}}
It was then faced with a dilemma as Eschatos was a weapon which could destroy a [[Machine Spirit]] through a [[Noosphere|Noospheric]] signal. This created a ''Cycle which could not be Discontinued''; a question it had no answer for. Should the knowledge of this weapon be kept - as the core belief, the [[Quest for Knowledge]] demanded - so it may be used to hunt down hereteks and cure [[Scrap Code]] or other malicious machine corruption? Or should it be destroyed to ensure the Adeptus Mechanicus would not be destroyed by a weapon of its own creation?
It could not resolve this and so it hid their [[Ark Mechanicus]] flagship ''[[Hermeticos]]'' in the [[Processional of the Damned]] and split itself into seven constituent servants who hid their own memories and were sent to parts of the [[Koronus Expanse]] 211 years before [[M42]]. All in search of an answer. Each constituent held part of the Collective within them based on who they were before they joined the Collective:{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Dementz Haneumann''' had Paranoia. He was a meticulous and reserved auditor and danger-seeker.{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Tarzus Haneumann''' had Faith. He was a warrior.{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Axiomantha Haneumann''' had Logic. She teetered on the brink of becoming a malatek and joined for her ruthless logic.{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Abel Haneumann''' had Imagination. He was a quiet genius.{{Fn|1b}}
*[[Pasqal Haneumann]] had Judgement{{Fn|1b}}
*[[Brasswhisper|Nihel Haneumann]] had Scepticism. She had originally been assigned by the Cult to shut down the collective, but later believed in its success.{{Fn|1b}}
