Manfred Cervas was a Radical Oblationist Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos that came in the possession of the artifact know as The Essence. The Inquisitor met his doom in the hands of the Khornate warband Blood Ravagers, lead by Chaos Lord Whreg the Unbroken, during an escort by the Desert Hawks Space Marine Chapter.

History[]

As a specialist in xeno artifacts and other stranged objects, Manfred Cervas traveled all thru the galaxy. He was a firm believer that there were things in the galaxy with such a power that they had to be found and protected to be used in times of need or they had to be destroyed. The Inquisitor was contacted by a Rogue Trader that had found a object he could not identified in a ruin of a temple of Xeno origins. It was located in a cave on a moon in the uncharted Tremer System.

During the investigation of the object the Inquisitor found evidence that pointed to the fact that it was some sort of key and that it was called The Essence. He believed that this object had the ability to open a gateway to the Immaterium anywhere in the galaxy. If it was the case this object had to be studied more. The Inquisitor thought that it could be used as a weapon against the forces of Chaos if used correctly, but in the wrong hands it could be a thread to the Imperium.

Before it could be studied more it had to be transported to Watch Fortress Talasa Prime. The Fortress serves as the headquarters of the Deathwatch and was the safest place to store the artifact. The Inquisitor reached out to the Desert Hawks Space Marine Chapter that was the closest military power that had the resources to escort the Inquisitor and his precious cargo. The Chapter ordered three of its Strike Cruisers, Knife of the Emperor, Talon and Void Hunter, to the escort-mission.

Battle of the Blood (235.M37)[]

Soon after the escort started they were attacked by the Chaos Lord Whreg the Unbroken and his warband Blood Ravagers. The traitor Battle Barge Khorne's Revenge attacked and destroyed two of the Strike Cruisers, Knife of the Emperor and the Talon. The Void Hunter was boarded and the Inquisitor and his retuine preparerad their defenses.

After a long and bloody fight Manfred Cerves and his bodyguard was overwhelmed by the forces of Chaos. In the end the Desert Hawks prevailed and succesfully destroyed the warband and the Chaos Lord Whreg the Unbroken. But the wounds of the Inquisitor was to extensive. Before the Inquisitor draw his last breath he made the Desert Hawks to sworn a pledge of honor to protect and hide The Essence, even from the rest of the Inquisition. Afraid that the ancient relic could fall in the wrong hands.
