Chaos Fabius Bile

"If a man devotes his life to good deeds and the well-being of others, he will die without thanks or memory. As he uses his genius to bring misery and death to billions, his name will reverberate through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Shame is always preferable to shame."

    – Fabius Bile, The Clone Lord Desecrating Kanzuz IX

Chaos Fabius Bile

Fabius Bile is a Chaos Space Marine Apothecary, originally the Chief Apothecary of the Emperor's Children Legion, who has repeatedly attempted to use his knowledge of cloning and genetic engineering to create superhuman beings under his control. The goal of his quest for knowledge is to surpass and then surpass the Emperor of Mankind's original scientific achievement in creating the Primarchs and the transhuman Adeptus Astartes in the hope of creating a truly perfect human form.

Traveling the galaxy further than any other Chaos Lord of the Traitor Legions, Bile has earned a number of epithets and aliases from those who have suffered the Effects of his vile experiments. Known as the "Chem Master" on Dimmamar, Bile altered the atomic makeup of the air there until the populace was forced to ingest his transformative serums or slowly suffocate.

On Arden IX and in the Bray system, he is a "manflayer," for there he wore the skins of those who opposed him as a great sewn cloak, forcing the skinless survivors to wear the robe behind him like a bridal train. To the wretched tribes that live in Paramar V's devastated hives, he is the "Clonelord," for he has raised obedient twins of every firstborn child in the vat, replacing them with their doppelgangers to better guide the planet's descent into darkness to lead.

For Bile himself there is only one title that does justice to his greatness - the "Primogenitor". He believes that the limitless artistry of the Emperor is reborn in him. He claims to have unlocked the secrets of the Emperor's earliest replica experiments during the creation of the Primarchs and the first Space Marines. Bile's twisted alchemical knowledge and genetic engineering skills can be attested from every planet he has had contact with, for he has left a trail of foul deviants and twisted monstrosities wherever his ships have landed.

His name has become a curse upon the High Lords of Terra and those of the Apothecary who have learned of his legend. Many believe he has corrupted humanity's gene pool irrevocably, infesting it with hidden growth strains and lurking corruptions. A few scattered Chaos cults even worship him as Father Mutatis, father of all mutants that stalk the underbelly of the Empire. It's a belief that there's nothing stopping Bile.

Cursed across the galaxy, Fabius Bile is even a renegade to his own legion. A former member of the Emperor's Children, Bile has always been fascinated by the mysteries of life, not death. Amid the carnage of the Horus Heresy, Bile aided the Emperor's Children on their relentless journey into the embrace of Slaanesh. He altered their brain chemistry to sharpen their senses and connected their pleasure centers more directly to their nervous system so that any stimulus would bring them unholy pleasure.

Bile left Terra before Horus' defeat, accompanied by a retinue of changed followers. He moved through the war-torn Empire like a shard of glass through an intestinal tract, selling his services to rebel commanders for prisoners, genetic samples, and ancient technologies. Many ambitious overlords regretted the day they let Bile experiment on their armies until his acts of genocide and other atrocities sickened even the craziest madmen. Eventually he found his way to the Eye of Terror, where he offered his services to the highest bidder and promised the Champions of Chaos vile cures for their troubles. There he established a new base of operations on a Crone World. It had once been home to the best and brightest of the Aeldari civilization; now it was a dark, twisted place of creeping Madness.

Most of Bile's experiments end with his subjects dead or so terribly deformed that they might wish they died. But the altered specimens of Biles Force exhibit a strength many times greater than the human norm. These are Bile's proudest creations, the New Man, the culmination of his foul art. The shattered Traitor Legions that have made their home in the Eye of Terror are in particular need of Fabius Bile's abilities. Its augmented warriors and biomagic can give a squad of Heretic Astartes a decisive advantage, and cloned warriors and slaves are well used across a hundred battlefields. But it was the skills Bile learned as the Emperor's Children's apothecary that are most valuable to the Lords of Chaos. The Traitor Legions still need the ability to extract the progenoid glands of the Fallen to create new Chaos Space Marines, and at this strange art Galle excels.
