An adept of the '''[[Order of Ruin]]''', Ignis specialized in the statistical and tactical acumen of war, using a combination of numerology and staggering mathematical acumen to be able to analyze enormous quantities of battlefield data to predict enemy actions and perform incredibly precise battlefield actions. During the Heresy, Ignis joined with [[Ahriman]]'s party to reclaim the shards of [[Magnus]]. During the battle on [[Kamiti Sona]] Ignis commanded the warship ''Khemet'' but was out-maneuvered by a [[Knights-Errant]] stealth corvette commanded by [[Antaka Cyvaan]]. Ignis only survived by projecting himself out of the ''Khemet'' and into a nearby [[Reaver Titan]].{{Fn|1}} Ignis next appeared during the [[Solar War]], aiding Ahriman in initiating his ritual on [[The Comet]] which allowed for traitor forces to appear directly over [[Luna]].{{Fn|3}} During the [[Siege of Terra]] he helped plan the attack on the [[Colossi Gate]].{{Fn|4}}
After the Heresy, Ignis joined Ahriman's [[Prodigal Sons]]. He later became a double agent for Ahriman in entrapping [[Sanakht]] as the warrior attempted to betray them.{{Fn|2}} Ignis remained at Ahriman's side as they cast the Second [[Rubric of Ahriman|Rubric]]{{Fn|5}}, inadvertently creating an even more devastating condition known as the [[Pyrodomon]].{{Fn|6a}} As Ahriman accesses the [[Necron]] time-manipulating device known as the [[Key of Infinity]], Ignis and [[Ctesias]] are able to discover the source of the Pyrodomon to be the former [[Rubric Marine]] [[Helio Isidorus]].{{Fn|6b}} In the ensuing struggle, Ignis succumbs to the Pyrodomon and is transformed into a Rubricae.{{Fn|6c}} Ahriman uses the Key of Infinity to travel into the past to stop the Pyrodomon, resetting the timeline to just days after the casting of the Second Rubric.{{Fn|7a}} However even in this new order of events, Ignis remains trapped as a Rubricae.{{Fn|7b}}
