Archmagos

The title of Archmagos is the highest formal leadership role in the Archiat Confederacy, there are three Archmagi, each of whom answers directly to the Metallicans, and serves a certain role in the state.
 
 

Archmagos Dominus Faustinius


  "Our enemies' forces can only be seen as futile when looking at the history of our metallic domination of the battlefield. May we continue on forever, laying complete and utter devastation upon those who fail to see the strength and purity of steel."

  Dominus Faustinius commands the military efforts of the Archiat Confederacy, he has the final say in any and all offensive and defensive actions, as well as improving their armies' potency, through research and engineering new armaments.
He practically rules the forge city of Caminus by himself, as that is where the Confederacy manufactures the armaments and vehicles that the Confederacy is infamous for, such as the Gigas.
  Appearance
Dominus Faustinius' body is massively augmented with Cosmosteel armour, to the point where he could barely be called humanoid. Their entire body is built like a tank, and they vaguely resemble the form of a Gigas, with a broad torso and arms. His gaunt, skull-like head, and the horns atop it betray his monumental heritage, which he proudly displays to spite the abyss.
 
 

Archmagos Lector Videx


  "You may say that it is impossible for those of flesh to achieve order akin to that of the Cosmos. And I would reply, that only the feeblest of mind strives to comprehend its own limits."

  Lector Videx has the strongest comprehension of the Cosmos, and he ensures that all runnings of the Archiat Confederacy fall within its guidance. He leads all research into the cosmic plane (often participating in experiments himself), and has a large station in the city of Celest, which lies within the northern Moonscorch; he uses this outpost to make observations on the nature of the Cosmic plane, and to try and decipher a way to navigate it. By many accounts, the Lector's research has driven him insane, although he still functions as an Archmagos, and to a large degree of success.
  Appearance
Lector Videx appears to be largely unaltered, as their augmentations are relatively discrete under their robes, although the majority of their form has been converted to a mechanical one; their most noticable alteration is a completely metallic head, inlayed with runic calligraphy and magical wards. They stand much taller than an average person, which can be credited to their vastly extended prosthetic legs. They are incredibly adept at wizardry, which is channeled through their limbs as a pulsing blue glow.
 
 

Archmagos Hermeticon Reditus


  "The will of the Omniseer, if not carried through, will forthwith unleash an abhorrent wave of death, led by the treacherous heretics who deny our blessed right to the machine. All must obey their litany as well as they would disassemble an unholy creature of the abyss if it stared them in their eyes; otherwise... they are truly lost."

  Hermeticon Reditus can only be described as a zealot; as the formal leader of the Cult Metallican, and figurehead for the people of the nation, she doesn't tolerate any deviance from the holy path laid out by the Omniseer, and treats the writings of the Metallicans as gospel, to be carried out with utter certainty. In her eyes, any organic flesh leaves a person compromised as a gateway to the abyss, and she is frugal with her beratings of the other Archmagi's unacceptance that a completely mechanical form is necessary for ensuring their dominion.
  Appearance
Hermeticon Reditus visibly has no scrap of flesh left on her body, she has replaced her entire form with plates and pipes that vaguely resemble a humanoid skeleton. She wears pauldrons and robes that give her a grand, regal silhouette, helping to advocate and impose her will upon her mechanicus followers.
