Editing Forces of the Emperor's Nightmare (section)

==Master of the Forge Valter Fervesco==

Valter Fervesco has been the Master of the Forge for the Emperor's Nightmare for several centuries, and a loyal techmarine for a century further. Born in the deepest depths of Hive Quartus, his family held a great deal of respect and power in all fields of industry that Hive Quartus provided. Family contacts and representatives from the Adeptus Mechanicus were common throughout his childhood and Valter viewed them highly and attempted to learn and understand from them even at such a young age.

Thus it came as no surprise that after his initiation Valter would be sent to train as a techmarine. A skill set that came as natural to him as breathing. As a techmarine, his greatest achievements include a near miraculous repair of a wrecked Land Raider during an open battle with the mechanical hordes of an Iron Warrior's armored column, a vehicle which other techmarines had already begun reciting final prayers for the machine spirit. Valter's ability to revive the vehicle was a turning point in the battle and led to the relatively young pilot of the land raider being awarded high honors. Valter Fervesco had earned a life-long friend in Arakanden Varykai.

His secret fall in joining the ranks of the sleepless came about with his full realization and acceptance. Using several of the family connections of his youth, he was able to pass this information on to the Adeptus Mechanicus, a fact they were already well aware of and had been even been making subtle suggestions to other techmarines to lose themselves in their work in order to stave off madness. This was something Valter took to with relish. As the years passed, he was able to focus on finer and finer tasks, creating the greatest quality suits of Devastator and Icelus Dreadnoughts the chapter had ever seen, and at an increased pace. It is from these great works that Valter was given the title of Master of the Forge.

Valter Fervesco has his mechadendrites in almost every part of the Emperor's Nightmares. He manipulates The Wake by carefully tracking their sleep patterns, bringing up motions in council only when he knows those who would oppose his ideas are asleep, and their second-in-commands, who favor Valter a great deal more, are substituting for them.
