Wytbor Oct
Wytbor Oct is an Archmagos-Controvertant of the Adeptus Mechanicus.[1c]
History
Studying the deeper mysteries of the Omnissiah, he specialised in analysing xenos technology particularly when present in Human Archaeotech. His studies led him to investigate C'tan-worshipping Cultists on Mars, and soon enough the Archmagos himself fell to venerating a deity known as the Dragon of Mars, believing it and its kin were angels of the Machine God.[1a]
Disguising his true allegiance, Oct traveled to War Zone Bastior and pledged himself to the Ultramarines in order to have access to the Necron technologies they were sure to acquire in the coming Ultramarian Reclamation. He was determined to find shards of the Dragon or perhaps other Star-Gods and reassemble them.[1a]
During the War for Novamagnor, Oct secretly sabotaged the Imperial war effort and attempted to reawaken the Nightbringer. When his forge-shrine of Firstbrand fell to the Necrons under Nekrosor Ammentar, Oct offered aid and supplication but was thrown to the Destroyer Lord's followers to be ripped apart.[1b]
