Flesh Tearers - A Lost Titan: An abandoned Imperator-class Titan of the Legio Annihilator was discovered by the Flesh Tearers' Chapter Master Gabriel Seth and Inquisitor Nerissa Lekkas at the bottom of a borehole in the Ephesus Ore Mine on the Hive World of Armageddon during the Third War for Armageddon in 998.M41. Inquisitor Lekkas claimed the Titan dated back to the time of the Horus Heresy. The Inquisitor had requisitioned Gabriel Seth and his Command Squad specifically to destroy the Titan, further claiming that it had been corrupted by Chaos and that it was this corruption that was repeatedly drawing the Orks to attack Armageddon.The Veteran Flesh Tearer Shemal died during the group's aerial insertion into the target zone as their Stormraven was shot out of the sky, but the rest of the strike force landed atop the Imperator Titan Validus that was already in the combat zone. The Space Marines touched down using their Jump Packs while the Inquisitor wielded her psychic abilities to ensure she and her retinue of Acolytes made it to the god-engine safely.The group rode atop the Validus as it slowly made its way through Armageddon's ocean of industrial waste to the island where the Ephesus Ore Mine was located. They left the Titan behind and made their way down through the subterranean mine works towards the location of the lost Titan. The Flesh Tearers' Company Champion Harahel elected to stay behind to hold off the groups of Orks permeating the mining tunnels, while Seth, Techmarine Metatron, Apothecary Nisroc and Veteran Nathaniel continued ahead with Nerissa and her retinue.Once the strike force reached the ancient Titan, the Inquisitor wanted to hack into the Titan's data-core to download whatever knowledge remained within and then destroy the derelict god-engine with demolition charges, but Seth executed her two remaining Acolytes before she could do so, stating that the knowledge within the Titan was also likely corrupted by Chaos and that the god-machine should instead be returned to Mars for the Tech-priests to repair the Titan and restore it for Imperial use. Seth also noted that the Titan showed no signs of the Chaos corruption that the Inquisitor claimed had consumed the machine.In fact, the entire mission had been a ruse initiated by the Inquisitor so that she might assassinate Seth for his role in the death of Lekkas' old master the Inquisitor Corrvin Herrold of the Ordo Hereticus, who had sought to infiltrate the Flesh Tearers' flagship to prove that the Flesh Tearers were Heretics as had long been suspected by the Inquisition. Herrold had been captured by Seth and psychically forced to endure the Black Rage through a mind-link with one of the Flesh Tearers' Librarians so that he might learn the burden that every Flesh Tearer faced even as they remained loyal servants of the Emperor. In the wake of this experience, Herrold had left the Inquisition, believing that he could not trust his own flawed judgement.Her true intentions discovered, Lekkas used her psychic powers to induce the Black Rage in the Flesh Tearers with her, and then sought to flee off-world. Though Seth succumbed to the mental assault and slew Metatron, Harahel returned to his battle-brothers in time to break Seth and Nisroc free from the Inquisitor's spell, but not before Nisroc had also killed Nathaniel.Seth got his revenge upon the Inquisitor when he deployed the Mortis Wrath, an unmarked Flesh Tearers voidship occupied by a unit of Flesh Tearers from the Chapter's Death Company consumed by the Black Rage, against the Inquisitor's vessel as it sought to flee the Armageddon System alongside two Imperial medicae transports carrying wounded civilians from the war zone. The Inquisitor believed that the presence of the transports would prevent any possible retaliation by the Flesh Tearers since they would be hunted down by the Imperium if it was discovered they had slaughtered innocent civilians.However, Seth ordered the Mortis Wrath to unleash three Boarding Torpedoes filled with Death Company Flesh Tearers which attached to all three ships just before they translated into the Warp. Once within the Immaterium, the Boarding Torpedoes would unleash their deadly cargoes, who would proceed to kill every individual aboard the vessels before they committed suicide. In this way, the ships would simply be considered lost in the Warp, and none would ever know the Flesh Tearers had been involved in the death of the rogue Inquisitor. Yet the demands of the Chapter's honour would be satisfied, even if the cost was the blood of the innocent.
