Aemos was already old by the time he entered Eisenhorn's service. His body had several [[Imperial Bionics|augmetic]] implants and prostheses. He was easily distinguished by his oversized augmetic eyewear and bald pate. On the rare occasion that something vexes him, he is keen to utter his trademark phrase, ''most perturbatory''.
== Death ==
Aemos died performing his greatest work for Eisenhorn: decrypting the mysterious writings found on the planet [[Promody]] concerning the history of Ghül. Unable to make anything out of the glyphs, he borrowed Eisenhorn's cursed book, the [[Malus Codicium]]. The bound daemonhost [[Cherubael]] was able to commune with him through the book, and offered him the information in exchange for him arranging its release. Eisenhorn discovered the insidious plot, but the rogue trader ship he was traveling on (the [[Essene]]) was boarded shortly after by [[Inquisitor]] [[Heldane]] and Grandmaster [[Osma]], who sought to apprehend him. Aemos managed to elude the Inquisitors long enough to summon Cherubael into one of the Essene's [[astropath|astropaths]] using his memorized knowledge of the [[Malus Codicium]], who went on a wild rampage, causing major damage to the ship. Aemos eventually dispossessed [[Cherubael]] and took it inside his body until the wounded Eisenhorn could fashion a proper host (the dead body of [[Godwin Fischig]]) for the daemon. The strain was too much, and he died aboard the shuttle fleeing the exploding [[Essene]], his last words being ''most pertubatory.''
