Magos Dominus Visectus, Terror of Asphodelia, is a feared and respected figure of the New Mechanicum or Dark Mechanicum as it is better known by the Imperium. He hails from the isolated system of Asphodelia on a Hell Forge known as Pluton, located far into the Halo Stars. Little is known of the system, planet or its inhabitants from the Imperium as it's located far beyond their reach, but Visectus is known well by those that stand on the Imperium's frontier.

The stench of freshly spilled blood follows Visectus everywhere he walks, his flesh draped cybernetic body inspiring fear and revulsion in all but the most steelhearted. Those that have faced him in combat and survived the experience speak of a malicious intellect driving his actions that seems far beyond the capabilities of any individual. Indeed, rumors swirl that Visectus communes with daemons and is host to scores of them who power his body and weapons in exchange for souls.

The truth, however, is on many levels far worse...

Magos Dominus Visectus hails from the remote Hell Forge of Pluton in the Asphodelia system located in the isolated Halo Stars.

Known by the border worlds of the Imperium as the Terror of Asphodelia, he is a skilled creator of biomechanical horrors and unraveler of Xenos technology. He has developed his own signature brand of technology based upon reverse engineered Drukhari Pain Engines. Using partially lobotomized brains hooked into sheets of cloned flesh with exposed nerve endings, his technology operates using power harnessed from the psychic agony of those unfortunate enough to be used as components in the machinery.

This frees his forces from the limitations of fuel and plasma generation, instead only requiring a constant supply of fresh blood to keep the sheets of skin and nerves powering his creations alive. Something found in copious quantity on most battlefields, however when off the field it means that his attendants, students and cultist followers are kept constantly on their toes lest they be harvested for fuel for the machines.
