Tiberias Einach
Tiberias Einach was the Planetary Governor of Aluta XIV and an amateur Xenologist, who wrote the Xeno Corporis Fabrica.[1]
By all accounts, Einach was considered a wise and honest defender of the Imperial Creed and a beloved ruler of his people. However his work in Xenology, in which he had amassed a wealth of documents, led Einach to become fascinated with the Ork Xenos species. Based on his research, the Planetary Governor would come to theorize that Orks are a form of sentient fungal mycotoxin (fungal poison), which could be "treated" by an antitoxin. Einach decided to test this theory and believed that he could develop a injectable serum for Humans, which would make Orks violently ill, if they approached an Imperial colony. He spent many years honing his serum, until Einach finally had an antitioxin he was prepared to use in a trial run. Being a man of principles, though, the Planetary Governor was unwilling to let anyone, but himself take the first dose of his "cure".[1]
The experiment ended in a horrific failure, however, which led psychosis plagues to break out across Aluta XIV. The plagues would soon spread off-world and subsequently ravaged the Aluta System, which was well documented by the Imperium. Because of Einach's folly, Aluta XIV would be declared lost and an Exterminatus was carried out on the world, by the Imperial Navy.[1]
