Archimedes IV/People/Ferrus Tiber
Ferrus Tiber
Magos Dominus Ferrus Tiber
Background
Magos Dominus Ferrus Tiber is the stern and uncompromising local overseer of Manufactorum 12 on Fortis Prime. He reports within the planetary Mechanicus hierarchy led by Magos Dominus Octavius Kael. A veteran tech-priest with centuries of experience, Ferrus Tiber is deeply committed to the Omnissiah and the sacred duty of the Adeptus Mechanicus. His primary concern is maintaining the manufactorum's production efficiency and technological purity, often at the expense of worker welfare.
Appearance
- Height: Tall and imposing, enhanced by various augmetics.
- Robe: Traditional red Mechanicus robes adorned with numerous purity seals and cogwheel symbols.
- Augmetics: Extensive mechanical augmentations, including mechadendrites equipped with tools and weapons, a cybernetic eye that glows with a red light, and reinforced limbs.
Personality
- Stern: Ferrus Tiber is known for his strict adherence to Mechanicus doctrine and intolerance for inefficiency or dissent.
- Unyielding: He prioritizes production quotas and technological advancement over the well-being of the manufactorum’s workforce.
- Devout: His devotion to the Omnissiah is unwavering, and he views any deviation from the sacred tenets of the Mechanicus as heresy.
Role in the Adventure
Magos Dominus Ferrus Tiber plays a crucial role in the ongoing conflict within Manufactorum 12. His rigid stance against the union’s demands and his dismissal of the safety violations and financial discrepancies contribute to the escalating tension. While not directly involved in the illicit experiments conducted by Enginseer Primus Corvis Rael, Ferrus Tiber’s authoritarian leadership style and focus on production at all costs create an environment where such heretical activities can flourish unnoticed.
Relationship with the Inquisition
After Naltherion Kane, Sister Venria, Rat, and Arbites Forious exposed Enginseer Primus Corvis Rael's heretical experiments, Tiber executed Rael for crimes against the Omnissiah. In recognition of the group's discreet handling of the incident, Tiber now provides Kane with technical and mechanical assistance when his duties permit.
