Editing Cherubim (section)

===Nephilim===
In quite possibly the most [[grimdark]] of grimdarkness, there is actually an upper category of Cherubim, referred to as '''Nephilim''' (which means [[Dark Angels|Fallen]]).

While it is rumoured that rarely a tech-priest can create a master-crafted Cherub with a considerably higher intellect, the truth is that occasionally Cherubs are manufactured using [[grimdark|ACTUAL BABIES]] rather than vat grown ones ''(perhaps too grimdark for mainstream GW, hence the article was labeled as "unofficial" with heavy emphasis on the inverted commas)''.

The difference is that vat-grown servitors have no developed central nervous system, which essentially makes them living vegetables until they are given a directive to follow. In the case of human-servitors, they already have a developed CNS and therefore are able to be trusted with multiple complicated tasks and actually use their initiative to figure out what needs doing.

Thankfully, it numbers the times that Nephilim have been made since they are regarded as extremely uncommon; only 22 times since M36 and each for personal reasons determined by the owner and not just for [[powergamer|creating a "better"]] Cherub.
*One Nephil, "L", was a psyker of such power that it was impossible to transport her via Black Ship, so the Inquisition fixed her into an angelic lightning rod that served the inquisitor for 157 years until it was destroyed by a Daemonhost.
*Another case file was on Maya's World in 076.M41, where a certain Lord Torrington had his comatose son made into a Nephil rather than watch him die. Unfortunately, due to [[Administratum|Imperial inheritance law]], the Servitor [[Fail|was eventually named Duke]] and has been the head of the house ever since.
