==Overview==

Having long kept himself shrouded from most races, Vashtorr is a demi-god of inventors, engineers, scientists, and artisans. He is empowered by acts of curiosity (like [[Slaanesh]]) and innovation (like [[Tzeentch]]) in the [[Materium]], shorn of morality and driven to its darkest extremes. He has only manifested a handful of times in galactic history, and some crypto-scholars maintain he was created amidst the reckless arms race of some ancient galaxy-spanning war. Others propose he was brought about by the horrors of the [[Dark Age of Technology]], where he proved a patron to many of its technological horrors.{{Fn|2}} He is also said to have been empowered by events such as the rise of the [[Necrons]], the [[Cursed Founding]], and the creation of [[Primaris Space Marine]]s.{{Fn|1}}
