He later became a Magos Prime in Muspelheim's armed forces and would again later achieve the rank of Archmagos and rule his homeworld for the next many centuries. The only "relative" that Joichoks acknowledges is his tube sister Gammoria Tuhrush who he have developed a strong bond with. 
==Biography==
===Early years===
Alpenan Joichoks was born into the role of an Enginseer but before he was allowed to take to the fields of battle he was taught how to maintain and praise the machines built in the factorums of Muspelheim. Here he worked hard with the other Tech-Priests as well as the his tube sister, Gammoria Tuhrush, who he grew close to and viewed as his real sister and only family. Alpenan and Gammoria often discussed how they would bring the teachings of the Omnissiah to the people of the Imperium when they were assigned to an Imperial Guard Regiment and how they would bring his wrath to his enemies. Years later were Alpenan and Gammoria assigned to the same Imperial Guard unit, the 521st Cadian Armored Regiment. Here they first served as base camp support where they maintained and repaired the regiment's armor and equipment. While they felt like outsiders at first due to their different upbringing than the Cadians and the lack of other Adeptus Mechanicus adepts present in the regiment. The two Tech-Priests would serve in the regiment for many years and fought through countless battles due to their positions as Enginseers.
Alpenan and Gammoria was eventually handpicked to assist an Inquisitor from the Ordo Xenos who had arrived to retrieve some unknown xeno technology for study. The two Enginseers proved valuable in the Inquisitor's quest and he took a liking to Gammoria and demanded her transfer to his command so she could become an inquisitorial acolyte. Alpenan, With Gammoria gone, was the lone member of the Adeptus Mechanicus left in the regiment. He focused on his work and eventually caught the attention of a Magos Explorator who saw his skills in both combat and his knowledge with the arcane sciences. Alpenan was transferred to the Explorator fleet, leaving the Cadian regiment behind. 
===Quest For Knowledge and return===
Traveling with the Explorator fleet allowed Alpenan to see and experience many strange and unknown parts of the galaxy. He managed to become a great warrior and eventually took command of most of the fleet's ground troops, giving him the rank of Magos Prime. Alpenan spent almost two decades as part of the explorator fleet before he eventually was released from service and headed home to Muspelheim after nearly thirty years away. 
Here, Alpenan discovered that Gammoria had returned only a few years before, having departed with the inquisitor and having obtained the rank of Magos Biologis. The two eagerly shared their experiences and stories with each other, rekindling their old siblings bond. Alpenan kept rising in the ranks of Muspelheim's priesthood. He eventually managed to get a spot on the Magos Council and managed to use his political power to also grant Gammoria a seat not long after through manipulation of other members of the council who had thought to use Alpenan in their own schemes.
==Ruler of Muspelheim==
Alpenan, through hard work, manipulation and a few assassinations of rivals on the magos council, eventually took power over Muspelheim and was crowned Fabricator-general of Muspelheim in 703.M41. Alpenan ruled with an iron fist and quickly put people into positions of power to better cerement his own position. Before long, those who opposed him were to few and too entrenched with fighting among themselves to true challenge him. It was not long into his reign that Gammoria approached him and requested Alpenan to approve of a top secret project she had wanted to work on for several years now but hadn't been able to start due to the previous administration's presence. Alpenan Allowed her to set up a massive underground facility under the governmental palace and she began her work with creating the Muspelhani Afriel Commandos. Alpenan also took the time to visit Kacreirus, the home world of Wardens Cosmic and capital planet of the Ailuros System, from time to time to maintain the friendship between the two factions. His exact standing with the Lord-Warden of the Wardens Cosmic, Caldisias Viricus, is unknown but at the very least they tolerate each other and seem to be on good standing for the most part.
In 738.M41 was Muspelheim approached by a combined convoy of emissaries of the Crescent Elites and Turquoise Protectors. The two outsider factions wanted to buy weapons and equipment from Muspelheim which Alpenan and the rest of the Magos Council were quick to finalize these treaties with the Turquoise Protectors. The Crescent Elites on the other hand were another story. Alpenan wasn't keen on having an Astra Militarum regiments of intelligence gathering specialists setting up outposts on Muspelheim. The Magos Council wasn't thrilled either and the talks entered into a stalemate. Months later, Lune Crackham, Acting Commander of the Crescent Elites arrived on Muspelheim to help with the negotiations. Alpenan and Crackham conversed in private where Crackham tried to persuade the Fabricator-General that his agents would relay information they gathered to Alpenan himself for an extra fee in the form of extra supplies for the Crescent Elites. Alpenan rejected the proposal and instead told the Acting Commander that Muspelheim would never agree to the establishment of any survey posts but that they would only supply the Crescent Elites with equipment for the right price and that htey should feel lucky that Alepnan didn't rise the price for such insults from the Astra Militarum regiments. Crackham backed down and took the deal and paid up what he owned for the requested supplies and was soon after on his way to parts unknown to Alpenan.
==Appearance==
===Original body===
Joichocks was of average build and form compared to regular humans. His affiliation with the Cult Mechanicus made him undergo countless cybernetic enhancements. Joichocks was, however, not very fond of these cybernetic enhancements, sharing many of the views of the sister when it came to augmenting the human form. As such, he was one of the few Tech-Priests to achieve the rank of Fabricator-General while still looking and being mostly human.
Joichoks right arm and left leg was replaced with cybernetic bionics after he survived an explosion which had ripped off his arm and leg during a battle against rebels forces during his service with the 521st Cadian Armored Regiment. 
===Mechanical body===
Joichoks lost his mind during the years following the creation of the Great Rift, giving in completely to insanity and paranoia. He came to fear his own death and so sought to extend his life through radical cybernetic surgeries which left some both more and less than human. The only human part left of him became his brain which would also be enhanced with cybernetics. His body, completely machine, was now a 3.65 meter tall, four legged, six armed machine.
