Gidy the Servo Skull

“Gidy” is the name of a Lingua-Vox servo-skull that retained much of its personality through some unknown means. Theories abound from a Dark Mechanicus plot, a fluke, a blessing from The Emperor, or even that the Imperial servant that it was made from was a powerful psyker. Regardless of its providence, Gidy has passed from various hands and become something of a legend in its own right.
== Personality and Providence ==
Gidy is a foul-mouthed servo skull who is consumed by a near perpetual xenophobic rage. While this is normally contained to disparaging comments and profane insults towards xenos it has been known to make the occasional remark about any given human’s planet of origin. For a time it had a vox installed but it was removed when it became a distraction. A loud-speaker was later added to rectify this. Gidy does not seem to know or care to dwell on its origins and simply shouts profanities at anyone who questions it. There seems to be a distinct lack of intelligence to it, as if it were a simply programed by a machine spirit to defame xenos races.
== History ==
Gidy’s first official appearance in Imperial records is in early M36 when it was confiscated by an Adeptus Arbites squad during a raid on a ganger hive on Urbis II. They had been entertained by the skull and data read from Gidy indicated it had been created out of an Imperial servant named “Gideon Flat” sometime prior to M36. Records of a Gideon Flat could not be located and it remained in Arbite custody for several years before a successful raid on an evidence locker caused it to go missing.
Gidy later surfaced in mid M37 aboard a Rogue Trader’s ship as the “mascot” of a gunnery crew who took a liking to its obscenities. It was, again, confiscated by the ship’s master but soon surfaced in the employ of an Imperial Guard detachment assigned to the Rogue Trader’s ship. It was known to have bounced around to several Imperial Guard regiments over the next dozen years and was regarded as both a source of morale and good-luck charm. During this time his vox caster was re-installed and enhanced to have a sort of loud-speaker that could be heard across the entire battlefield.
Gidy later appeared in the records of Inquisitor Jacob Herschel during M40 who studied it and found it emanated some kind of psychic field that was said to impart some kind of “anger” field against xenos. While his notes were cryptic, Inquisitor Hershel found no taint of Chaos within but a deep-seated hatred for aliens. He expanded the servo skull’s database and loaded it with a great deal of his own anti-xenos research. He eventually gifted this to the Deathwatch who employed it for its anti-xenos properties. Gidy was eventually damaged beyond repair and was discarded during a battle against the Tau.
Despite his apparent demise they say that Gidy still remains somewhere, damaged and glitching, but still swearing profusely and mocking every xenos humanity has ever encountered.
