Tekhne

Second known reincarnation of Mercury, the adopted daughter of prominent Olympian nobility, she was arranged to marry Perturabo. Despite a rocky start their relationship has grown in a positive way and they appear to be quite happy together, despite Perturabo's tendency towards paranoia.

After joining the Imperium of Mankind, she has inspired the emergence of a new branch of Adeptus Mechanicus: the Forges of Mercury with the backing of her husband, Vulkan and Ferrus Manus. She was also partially responsible for the creation of the educational series Imperial Family Says.

Tekne usually wears a belt of emergency supplies provided for her by Perturabo on their wedding anniversary. The beld includes a holdout bolt-pistol and ear plugs.
