'''Meric Voyen''' was [[Apothecary]] of the [[Death Guard]]'s 7th Company, under [[Battle-Captain]] [[Nathaniel Garro]].
===Biography===
Shortly before the campaign in the [[Isstvan system]], Garro was furious when Voyen confessed that he was a member of the secret [[warrior-lodges]] forming among the Death Guard's elite warriors. Garro silenced the outrage of his fellow Company Marines, but confronted Voyen in private. Garro said he would not censure Voyen for belonging to the lodges, but said it was essential that, thenceforth, Voyen keep no secrets from his Captain. Voyen, shaken by the continued trust that Garro showed in him, agreed to this.{{Fn|1a}}
Shortly before the [[Siege of Terra]], the same [[Daemon]] that possessed [[Solun Decius]] took over Voyen's body. The Daemon was able to organize [[Chaos Cult]] activities on [[Terra]], which led to the [[Knights-Errant]] combating them near White Mountain. [[Nathaniel Garro]] was forced to put down Voyen.{{Fn|3}}
