Magos
The Cult
Mechanicus is a faction within the Adeptus Mechanicus, the technological priesthood of the Imperium of
Man. It is an organization of tech-priests and engineers who venerate and study technology as a form of
divinity.
Within the ranks of the Cult Mechanicus, the title "Magos" is used to refer to high-ranking members who
have attained a significant level of knowledge and expertise in technology, cybernetics, and arcane
sciences. The term "Magos" is derived from the Latin word for "magician" or "sorcerer," and it reflects
the mystical and esoteric nature of the technology-worshiping Mechanicus.
Magi (plural of Magos) hold various positions of authority and responsibility within the Adeptus
Mechanicus. They oversee the maintenance and development of advanced technology, lead research
expeditions, and often have control over Forge Worlds, which are massive industrial planets dedicated to
the production of advanced machinery and war materiel.
Magos Biologis: Specialists in the biological sciences, including the creation and modification of living
organisms.
Magos Dominus: A high-ranking Magos, often overseeing significant portions of a Forge World's
operations.
Each Magos is highly augmented with cybernetic enhancements and often holds a considerable amount
of power within the Adeptus Mechanicus and its associated institutions. They are pivotal figures in the
Imperium's technological pursuits and are essential to the production and maintenance of the massive
war machines that the Imperium relies upon.
