Lore

“

A far cry from an autoturret, this anthropoid automaton was created using the technology of the Holy See's automated knights and designed to excel at both strategic decision-making and hand-to-hand combat. The war machine is also equipped with such abilities as Pile Bunker and Crowned Collider (enhancements responsible for furthering the technology of pile drivers and aetheromatic augers, respectively), making it alarmingly powerful to boot.
