concept art of the leader of my fan-made warband Emerald Forge.

Meet Akh Hedjhotep, the Emerald Master, creator of the Emerald Forge. Former adept of the Order of Ruin and punished Forge Lord of the Thousand Sons Legion, corrupted by the demon of Tzeentch,Taytet-imi-Duat.

He hides his secrets from the eyes of the strongest lords of the Eye of Terror. He is also hiding from the justice of his legion for the knowledge that he stole from the brotherhood.

For a long time, his accomplices who served him never met him in the flesh. He was seen as a spiritual avatar that communicated through thoughts or lifeless armor connected to a huge psi-crystal. But during the events of the conquest of Kuru-9 in 999.M36, he was forced to appear in his true form.

A powerful and dangerous sorcerer, you will almost never find him personally in battle. For every one of his powerful abilities, he paid with a weakness unworthy of any space Marine. He cowardly hides in the labyrinths of his distorted ship, obsessed with endless paranoia and conducting indescribable calculations, looking for the probabilities of the future in forbidden numbers.

His mind orchestrates the fates and actions of his minions, most often beyond their understanding and consent.

But when you meet him on the battlefield, be sure that the course of the battle has been calculated countless times in his favour. Everything must be calculated...
