Age of the angel . Perturabo.
It was believed he had ascended to daemonhood like some of his brothers had during and after the heresy. In reality he had become so much more than a mere puppet of the dark gods. After he had been wounded by his brother Fulgrim and almost dying, he had sustained himself by augmenting his armor to better support his decaying form. Almost like a dreadnought sarcophagus life support would keep a marine alive to fight, so did his armor for centuries. But in the end it had not been enough, his physical form was failing due to the wounds inflicted upon him. The flesh had truly become weak and no manner of augmentation would reverse it, only slow it down. So the lord of iron had been forced to look for a different way to sustain his failing form. It had taken centuries to perfect the virus, but in the end he had succeeded. He had successfully infected himself with the stable strain of the Obliterator virus turning his form into a towering construct of organic metal. never breathing never dying.Now he was truly the embodiment of iron.
