Prime of the Tyrrhena Hebdomad, Forge Lord of Crater City |
Forge Lord Vilyon Luthier, b.766.M30 (Crater City, Mars), was a largely obscure figure to the Imperium until the Hektor Heresy began. Much of his career was spent in the forge-fanes of Urbis Tyrrhena, better known as Crater City. What fame Luthier in the period of the Great Crusade was as a maker of civilian goods, especially musical machines. His obsession with the automated creation of music drove this talented artisan into the mad embrace of Slaanesh, and after his fall he inflicted terrible atrocities on the population of Mars.
Early Life
The Luthiers were one of the more prominent clans of Crater City. They were known to have followed a liberal interpretation of the Mechanicum creed, as was common in the region. According to the tenets of their congregation, the heathen Langve tribe who infested the gullies of nearby Cimmeria Terra were future converts to the Machine Cult rather than horrific foes to be exterminated. The rise of Yonkada, the self-styled "Warlord of Mars", as leader of the Langve and his subsequent attacks on Crater City around the time of Vilyon's birth would harden religious differences and help to secure the unification of Mars behind Fabricator General Kalkas Tygian.
Yet the hardships of this savage time were kept at arm's length from a privileged family. Granted, as a second-born child, Vilyon was at first slated as a candidate for the various military arms of the Machine Cult. However, in 769.M30 his destiny would be diverted by family tragedy. Eldest child Giorea fell from a high walkway, leading to her death and turning Vilyon's path into the ranks of the Artisans. His development into a sensitive and compassionate youth unsuited to war gave comfort to the Luthier family, suggesting that the cruel loss of their daughter had at least served the purposes of the Machine God. Due to his family's influence, Vilyon was apprenticed directly to Forge Lord Anjos Nezax, a member of the Tyrrhena Hebdomand (the council of seven that ruled Crater City).
Under the tutelage of Nezax, Vilyon learned the complementary arts of musical composition and the crafting of musical instruments. Nezax himself had become prominent in Crater City for reviving the construction of the ancient Servo-Harmonium and these instruments would play an important role in his apprentice's career. The first compositions by Vilyon covered largely personal and family themes. His final version of the haunting elegy Giorea became a popular song of mourning on Mars during the 790s.
