Known Associates:

• MAGNUS – Identified as Forge Tyrant. Charismatic leader with strategic discipline. Formerly affiliated with Goliath forge-clade Vitruus-33. High-caliber ranged capability (boltguns). Exhibits advanced dermal plating—possible prototype vat strain.

• ANVIL – Stimmer-class brawler. Known for berserker-like aggression under stim influence. Armed with reinforced pulverizers. Avoid close contact.

• TORQUE – Forge Boss. Heavy weapons specialist. Deploys heavy bolter with disturbing accuracy. Confirmed kills in three separate engagements.

• BOOMER – Grenadier. Tendency toward indiscriminate ordnance use. Pyromaniac tendencies suspected. Displays obsession with detonation timing.

• KRUGER – Shotgun enforcer. Uses variable munitions. Ruthless in tunnel warfare. Former Guilder convoy guard turned renegade.

• SLAG & FLUX – Juvenile operatives. Suspected to be recent vat emergents. Display rapid combat adaptation. Slag known for melee aggression; Flux for erratic firearm use and volatility.

 

Behavioural Profile:
The Forge Kings exhibit extreme cohesion, particularly under high-pressure scenarios. Leadership is centralized and absolute under Magnus. They show open disdain for Guilder authority, refuse tithe payments, and have targeted multiple sanctioned work crews. Their wargear is heavily customized, likely sourced from illicit forges.

Tactically, they engage in "shock and rupture" strikes—rapid, overwhelming force focused on critical infrastructure or rival leadership.

 

Directive:
Engagement not recommended without full squad support. Deploy armored response if contact is unavoidable. Prioritize containment. Under no circumstances should lone Enforcer units attempt arrest or negotiation.
