Cyrrik Scayl

Known Aliases: Master Sevensins
Known Associates or Organizations: The Logicians, the Children of Nomen Ryne
Preferred Methods of Operation: Scayl runs his operations from afar, trusting his instructions to special bionically-enhanced
couriers or specialized cogitators locked with a gene-coded seal. Few have seen Scayl in person since his withdrawal from
the Ordo Hereticus, but his agents can be found on many a hive world throughout the sector. There are other Tech-Priests
of the Lathes who claim that Scayl is merely misguided and should be returned to the blessings of the Omnissiah rather than
struck down.
A Tech-Priest Magos of the Lathe Worlds, Cyrrik Scayl left behind his homeworld of Hadd to serve in the Ordo Hereticus
more than two centuries ago. During his time with the Ordo, Scayl became obsessed with tech-heresy, deeming it endemic
to the Calixis Sector. He became famous for his long-winded
rants that the Inquisition should take a deeper notice of
blasphemies against the Omnissiah occurring under its
purview. When his clumsy attempts at oratory failed,
Scayl withdrew from the Ordo to pursue tech-heretics
personally.
However, once in the field, Scayl found his
perspective changing. An encounter with the archheretek
Nomen Ryne led to an epiphany for Scayl,
and rather than hunting tech-heretics, he joined
their number as an ardent convert. Scayl pursued
scraps of information about such tech-heretics as
Ammicus Tole, Illucis Grizvaldi, and Nomen Ryne himself
for years before beginning to formulate his own theories
and research. Scayl vowed to surpass those he once
mocked and derided, and he dedicated himself
to the search for a means by which to replicate a
human consciousness into the form of a self-aware
machine–spirit: the dreaded tech-heresy of the
Silica Animus. So far, Scayl’s research indicates that
only the mind of a psyker possesses the strength of
will required to endure the process, but he hopes to refine his
theories after experimentation so that any mind can thus be
transformed.
Several worlds on the frontier of the Calixis Sector are home
to secret laboratories and dissection chambers where agents
of Cyrrik Scayl labor under his remote direction. Recently,
Scayl has made contact with the Logicians cult, and his former
colleagues in the Ordo Hereticus fear that an alliance between
these two heretical powers may prove disastrous. To date,
however, all agents sent to discover the whereabouts of the
renegade Magos have failed to return.
