Ervyntar Z'eth

Back to the main page

Background

Ervyntar Z'eth was born and raised on the remote Forge World of Kriess, floating somewhere near the Galaxy's edge. From an early age, he displayed great aptitude with machines and an incredible fascination with knowledge, especially of the Omnissiah's sacred works.

Discovered by and initiated into the Adeptus Mechanicus at an early age, Ervyntar slowly ascended through the ranks of scholars, delving into his studies with an obsessive zeal. He was especially interested in the secrets of archaeotechnology, often spending entire days and nights researching their mysteries. Unfortunately, his passion for forbidden lore led him down a path that alarmed several of those among the Adeptus Mechanicus' higher echelon, prompting Ervyntar to leave on a prolonged "research mission."

During his quest, he collected many valuable pieces of information and technology, oftentimes through less than approved means. However, his curiosity and insatiable lust for knowledge of the arcane brought a litany of misfortune upon him. Rarely did a vessel upon which he embarked return without a tale of some dire battle with viscous xenos or horrible mishaps in the Warp. Often as not, most of the original crew would be replaced by the time they returned, and those who had survived the entire trip told stories that would break even the strongest man's will.

As a result, Ervyntar now finds himself stranded on one of the Lathe worlds, an unwelcome passenger aboard most void-farers. For four years, now, he has been unable to find a brave captain who would have the power and be willing to take him to the far reaches of the galaxy, where many untold treasures of ancient knowledge await…

…but now he feels all of that is about to change.
