Tankiee was once a Magos Dominus of the Stygies VIII forges, a mechanized mind obsessed with the purity of logic and the perfection of war machines. During the Daemonic Incursion of the Helios Rift, he witnessed firsthand how unclean code and warp-corruption could infect even blessed STC constructs. His logic—once cold and absolute—fractured into revelation: to combat the warp, the machine must possess not just purity of function, but purity of soul.
When the Grey Knights intervened, Tankiee was among the few tech-priests found untainted, his augmetics sealed by his own sacred algorithms. Recognizing his unique insight into corrupted machine-spirits, the Ordo Malleus sanctified his service. He was reforged as Magos Palatinus Tankiee, a hybrid of Techmarine and Inquisitorial adjunct—a warrior-engineer devoted to purging both daemons and digital heresy.
Tankiee is calm, deliberate, and impossibly focused—an intellect that views war as ritual mathematics. His speech alternates between low machine-chant and serene sermons in binharic-laced High Gothic. Though devoid of emotion in the conventional sense, he expresses something akin to awe when confronting pure acts of faith or logic. The Grey Knights call him The Mechanized Confessor, for even their psychic might finds clarity in his mechanical sermons.
“By the Emperor’s will and the Omnissiah’s pattern, I calculate sanctity. Let corrupted data be purged, let the warp’s noise be silenced. The Silver Circuit accepts no error.”
