Venerable Thax
Venerable Dreadnought
Also known as Ancient Thax, Thax
Homeworld: Medusa
Venerable Thax is an Iron Hands Dreadnought of Medusa, one of the entombed whose counsel the Clan Council still pretends is a machine's rather than a man's. The Chapter treats internment as an honour. Thax is what that honour looks like after the flesh has been admitted as a failed component.
He walks with the strike forces that still bother to wake him, a walking reliquary of campaigns younger Iron Fathers quote without having seen. Gdolkin's generation wants Cadia. Thax's generation wants the next target named in a language of torque and range.
The sarcophagus is not a tomb while the guns still elevate. On Medusa that is the whole theology.
