Viewed as the pinnacle of Bile's "art", these are creatures who possess strength and intelligence superior to any human, as well as the worst traits of mankind. Fabius secretly seeds New Men on worlds across the [[Galaxy]], hoping to one day have them overtake the [[Human]] race. As Fabius leaves behind planets of corrupted human abominations, the [[Adeptus Astartes]] and the [[Inquisition]] strive to purge these creations, and are forced to destroy entire populations.{{Fn|1}}
Fabius would seed populations of his New Men on many [[Frontier World]]s, safely spinward from the [[galactic core]]. On some worlds they ruled openly, but after the events on [[Paramar]] he decided it was not yet time for them to do such. Since then, [[Abbadon]] has ordered Bile's New Men to be killed on sight.{{Fn|3d}}
Fabius is proud of his New Men, but he also believes they must eventually kill him to realise their destiny, a fate he is willing to accept. Bile engineered all urges for religion out of his New Men, but they still revere him.{{Fn|5a}} They are also engineered to not be nervous or feel fear, however, some might feel fear for their maker if his life is threatened.{{Fn|5b}} Some mistakenly believe that the hordes of [[Beastmen]] and other mutants that Fabius often uses as cannon-fodder are, in fact, his "New Men". Fabius finds this thought amusing.{{Fn|5c}} The fervent worship the New Men have given of Fabius, despite his best efforts to discourage such behavior, has nonetheless stirred a minor [[Chaos God]] within the [[Warp]] dubbed the [[Pater Mutatis]].{{Fn|2b}}
