Visual description

The form of the techpriest was an imposing one. His somewhat broad shoulders enlarged by the steel coloured armour he wears, with some of the classical forms of the power suits given to higher ranking enginseers, although not near one in its complexity.
Worn over it was the classic red combat robe of the secutors, more like a very long open vest than a classic set of robes, making it easier to move in during a fight than a robe. Decorating it near its edges is a white line with cog teeths.
Under the similarly designed hood beneath short locks of grey hair was a pale face with two ice blue eyes with that classic thousand yard stare, his nose and mouth was covered by a metal rebreather seemingly designed to bolt on something else on the face, with two tubes sticking out from the rebreathers sides going over the shoulders to his backpack.

His left arm is covered in an although sleek but still unmistakable power fist adorned with silver skulls on its knuckles.
Over his right shoulder, a manipulator mechandrite opened and closed its mechanical jaws like some animal baring its teeth before a fight, moving like a mix of machine and biological giving it a strange sense of fluidity from such a crude looking device.
His footsteps slow, the weight of the equipment resulted in his footfalls making clear thuds even in the muddy trenches and leaving footprints with clear lines and a skull with every step.

On his chest, the Opus machina of the adeptus mechanicus, that half machine skull symbol of the mechanicum. With a single red light within its eyes.
Flanking him on his left is a pale servitor lacking a shirt wearing black pants and heavy boots. His eyes milky white and his mouth and nose covered with a similar metal rebreather as Metallus, albeit bolted to the flesh itself here.
His right arm bearing a multitude of inbuilt tools like drills and mini saws and a welding torch that briefly spit white blue sparks.

------------------------------

Metallus Magnus Ohmnati, techpriest of the adeptus mechanicus, secutor and enginseer.
He is a no nonsense type of character and was a rising star within the Korutine skitarii cohort epsilon serving as an enginseer supporting their massive Gorgon troop transports.
Somewhere though, an influential party of unknown origin caught interest of Metallus, and with little explanation he was given a new assignment on some backwater agri-world who knows where.
Metallus was almost outraged, which spoke a lot since techpriests are not known to be overly emotional sorts but managed to contain his ire and took the assignment without much trouble.

After a year or so, Metallus had found the backwater agri-world not so bad after all, sure, the locals were inept meatbags more akin to grox when it came to matters of the mind, but someone needed to take care of the harvest machines and the machines of the PDF.

Another thing that happened after a year or so was the arrival of a massive ork kroozer which stopped above the planet and its numerous warriors made planetfall.
Metallus had heard little of the orks, he knew they were brutal and dangerous, but he had also heard of forge worlds halting the advance of entire waaaghs and as such he believes that this world will hold well against a single vessel as long as support arrives fast enough.

Lately Metallus has found himself on a frontline tending to chimeras and the odd leman russ, and fending off a few orks here and there.
However metallus tries to focus on his holy work over the task of purging xeno. Something the imperial guard does very well without his aid. The imperial guard does however not repair war machines well without his knowledge and proper procedures and as such his priorities are to him obvious.

With him he has a servitor. And not an overly useful one, and this is the third one he has been issued on this front.
