Detrum always had a knack for soothing machine spirits, even before joining the ranks of the Raven Guard. As a child he’d help his family maintain the fans that kept their area of the mine running. Though having grown up hearing of the great liberator Corax he always knew he was meant for more than replacing fan parts for the rest of his life. One day he would work on the holy armour of Corax’s sons. It seemed the Emperor was smiling on Detrum as shortly before he would have been too old to be selected the Raven Guard came for recruits. His affinity with technology was quickly noticed by the Forge Masters, and was earmarked for a trip to Mars even before he was a full Battle Brother.
    While Detrum may have one foot in the Cult Mechanicus Detrum still believes in the science that helped create him and is loath to replace parts unless absolutely necessary. Rarely speaking above a whisper he strives to expand his knowledge while crushing the tech-heresies of the xenos where ever they may be found.
