Illucis Grizvaldi

"Slaver, destroyer of Imperial souls, tool of the Archenemy... slayer of my acolytes."
–From the Journals of Inquisitor Felroth Gelt, 3.056.707.M41
Illucis Grizvaldi is a heretek and infamous for his use of oblivion volitors. These tech-devices are a corrupted and
clumsy pattern of neuroaugmetic; when surgically implanted
into the brain, an oblivion volitor turns a man into a soulless
“obliviate.” Obliviates are empty shells, living on after the
soul is consigned to nothingness. Illucis Grizvaldi held court for heretek vermin upon
Scintilla at the opening of the 8th century M41. Iron-clad
hereteks paraded those who once spoke against their master:
the newly made obliviates were leashed and naked---bloody,
drooling, and empty-eyed. The idea that those torn souls
would never feel the God-Emperor’s embrace put terror into
Imperial hearts. For all to see, the arch-heretek had destroyed
the essence of the faithful by means of the heavy, clacking
augmetics embedded in their skulls. It was by fear and death
that Illucis Grizvaldi held sway over his underhive domain.
The heretek Illucis Grizvaldi lives yet, despite a claimed victory in Sibellus underhive. His cursed sigils
inscribed upon oblivion volitors are now seen in the Tsares Hive on Merov. Feral obliviates now roam through the
crumbling and abandoned Volyan Waste Conduit strata. The 30 rival Brother-Generals of the Merov Penal Legion are set upon escalating paths of superficial and destructive solutions to the problem---death gas, poured rockcrete, and demolition by battle-cannon are but the least of what is underway.
