{{EmperorsChildrenPortal}}'''Enhanced Warriors''', also known as '''Terata'''{{Fn|4b}}, are subjects who, either willingly or unwillingly, undergo extensive genetic manipulation at the hands of #redirect [[Fabius Bile]]. ==Overview==[[file:Terata.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Enhanced Warriors during the [[Horus Heresy]] ]]Fabius began development of these warriors in his position of [[Apothecary|Chief Apothecary]] of the [[Emperor's Children]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] when [[Horus]] gave him an improved [[gene-seed]] code stolen by the [[Alpha Legion]] from the [[Raven Guard]]. Fabius Bile corrupted the code and created abominations, though his initial experiments were short-lived mutations.{{Fn|4c}}{{Fn|5}} Some of the enhanced warriors were made from the [[Iron Hands]], [[Salamanders]], [[World Eaters]], [[Death Guard]], [[Alpha Legion]], [[Word Bearers]], [[Sons of Horus]]{{Fn|4c}}, and [[Imperial Fists]].{{Fn|4d}} Twisted in body and mind, these enhanced warriors exhibit strength and reaction speeds many times greater than standard [[human]]s and can surpass even [[space marine]]s. Bile considers his enhanced warriors to be his proudest achievement and an artistic achievement, considering them a type of "New Man".{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} The unsuccessful experiments, however, turn into raving beasts, and even the successfully transformed enhanced warriors are prone to fits of instability.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} ==Notable Terata & New Men==*[[Felix Cassander]]- formerly captain of the [[Imperial Fists]] 42nd Company{{Fn|4a}}*[[Navarra]]- formerly Legionary of the Imperial Fists 6th Company{{Fn|4a}}*[[Argento Corian]] - Former [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Brazen Drakes]].
