Belisarius Cawl - Belisarius Cawl: Belisarius Cawl is a ten-thousand-standard-years-old archmagos dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus, one of the ruling lords of the Priesthood of Mars. He played a pivotal role in the events of the 13th Black Crusade, the Celestinian Crusade and the Terran Crusade, and shared responsibility with the Ynnari for the resurrection of Primarch Roboute Guilliman as the lord commander of the Imperium and Imperial Regent.Cawl was also responsible for the creation of the Primaris Space Marines, a variety of new Imperial weapons technologies and vehicles, and his help proved invaluable to the triumphant resolution of the first phase of the Indomitus Crusade to stabilise the Imperium Sanctus in the early Era Indomitus. He is currently at work seeking to discover a way to use the Necrons' blackstone Cadian Pylon technology to close the Great Rift once and for all.Skittering into battle on a multitude of metal legs, Belisarius Cawl is a nightmarish amalgam of ﬂesh and machine swathed in robes of Martian red. Millennia of tinkering and obsessive self-improvement have left Cawl as a grotesque, and his lumpen form towers to several times the height of a grown man.The archmagos dominus can unleash tank-busting firepower upon his foes, even as their panicked return-fire rebounds from his thrumming defensive force field. His many mechanical limbs terminate in glowing energy weapons, piston-claws and vicious combat armaments capable of peeling open a tank like a ration tin.Clustered eyelenses glow beneath his heavy cowl, their gaze insectile and utterly remorseless as it cooly dissects his victims' every weakness. A master of the manifold binharic cants of the Lingua-technis, Cawl can reinvigorate a Machine Spirit or stop its reactor heart with but a single phrase. No secret is safe from his acquisitive grasp, and those who seek to keep Cawl from his prize are soon nothing but glowing ashes upon the wind.Quick Answers																		What role did Belisarius Cawl play in the 13th Black Crusade?																									During the 13th Black Crusade, Belisarius Cawl, an archmagos dominus, led the Mechanicus fleet to Eriad VI, guided by Sylandri Veilwalker. He retrieved a Necron artefact and then moved to Cadia, under assault by Chaos forces. Cawl's timely arrival provided desperately needed reinforcements for the embattled Imperial forces. While on Cadia, Cawl began his investigation of the local xenos pylons with the knowledge recovered from Eriad VI. During his investigation, the Necron Overlord Trazyn the Infinite, who had decided to intervene to aid Humanity against their mutual enemy in the Warp, made his presence known. With Trazyn's knowledge, Cawl activated the pylons. The Necron technology cut off Cadia from the Warp, banishing the Daemons of Chaos. Unfortunately, Abaddon sent the Blackstone Fortress Will of Eternity hurling into the surface of Cadia. The massive kinetic strike destroyed the world's defences, ensuring its envelopment by the now rapidly-expanding Eye of Terror.																Provided by: Community																													How was Belisarius Cawl involved in the resurrection of Primarch Roboute Guilliman?																									Primarch Roboute Guilliman entrusted Belisarius Cawl with the development of a resurrection method and the creation of the Primaris Space Marines. After Guilliman's fall in the Battle of Thessala in the early 31st Millennium, Cawl, in collaboration with the Ynnari, resurrected him over ten thousand years later through the use of the Armour of Fate. This suit of unique Artificer Armour's inner workings had been enhanced with advanced life-sustaining technologies and protected the resurrected primarch from even the most dolorous of blows. Cawl's technology healed Guilliman's fatal wound while Yvraine, an Aeldari priestess of Ynnead, the god of the dead, and leader of the religious cult known as the Ynnari, restored his fading life force with the aid of her still-gestating god.																Provided by: Community																													What is the significance of the title 'archmagos dominus' in the Adeptus Mechanicus?																									In the Adeptus Mechanicus, "Archmagos Dominus" denotes a senior Tech-priest tasked with commanding the Mechanicus' military forces and advancing the Imperium's military technology. They are custodians of significant military secrets from the Age of Technology, including the ancient combat robot technology of the Battle-automata. This title signifies high seniority and experience as is true for all archmagi within the Priesthood of Mars.																Provided by: Community																													Who are the Primaris Space Marines and how did Belisarius Cawl contribute to their creation?																									Belisarius Cawl, the Archmagos Dominus, created the Primaris Space Marines, a new legion of improved Adeptus Astartes. This was part of a plan that spanned over 10,000 standard years, and had been initiated by Roboute Guilliman following the Horus Heresy during the Time of Rebirth using recruits who had been kept in stasis on Mars since the time of the Great Scouring. Cawl perfected the Emperor's original genetic template for the Space Marines, using genomes from the original primarchs to enhance the Emperor's original work. However, he was directed to create Primaris Marines solely from the genetic material of the nine Loyalist Space Marine Legions.																Provided by: Community																													What is the 'Cawl Inferior' in relation to Belisarius Cawl?																									The 'Cawl Inferior' is a digital construct devised by Belisarius Cawl, designed to undertake various tasks to free up his focus for more critical matters. It's a limited reflection of Cawl's cybernetically augmented Human mind, composed of sanctioned organic servitor brains. It performs multiple functions, including communication across astrotelepathic distances. However, it raises concerns among those aware of its existence of it being a form of prohibited artificial general intelligence -- the dreaded "Silica Animus."
