Thoth

Thoth is an agent in the Department of Floaters. He is written by the Boarder of the same name.

Appearance
Thoth is an Astartes from Warhammer 40k—XV Legion. He’s about two meters tall, and is rarely seen without his power armor, which is the usual blue-and-gold of the Thousand Sons. Physically, he’s more or less what you’d expect from an Astartes: he’s very large, exceptionally strong, and quite bald. He has green eyes, and what seems to be a perpetually serious expression, although the odd smile or laugh is sometimes allowed to escape.

Personality
Thoth is extremely curious, although somewhat quiet—he’s happy to talk, but he wants to see what you’ll do. His speech is quite formal, although his manners are a bit rough (for example, he had to be reminded not to go rummaging around in people’s heads on arrival), and his morals have deteriorated quite a bit over time—he mainly restrains himself from doing horrible things because other people would object, not because he himself has an issue with them. A few millennia in and around the Eye of Terror will do that to you. On the other hand, it hasn’t managed to strip him of his arrogance, and he still looks down on “mortals” just a bit.

Abilities
As a Son, he is among the best sorcerers mankind has ever produced, and he’s had millennia to hone his craft. However, the Warp is distant and unfamiliar in many canons, and even in his home universe… well, Tzeentch enjoys messing with him, so his powers don’t always function normally.

Agent History
Thoth wasn’t born under that name, of course. He was a Prospero native, chosen as a potential initiate for the Sons at the age of nineteen. His childhood and his training were uneventful—or rather, very eventful, but in the ways you’d expect. After the Burning of Prospero and the Rubric, he kept few ties to his brethren, taking the name Thoth and becoming a sort of mercenary on the edge of the Eye of Terror—he’d work for any warband, do any task requested, so long as he was paid in knowledge and resources. His long-term goals were unknown.

He found his way to the PPC by accident: he was trying to translocate himself through the Warp, and ended up somewhere entirely unexpected. After having events explained to him, he chose to become an agent. It was a chance to do as many a Son had dreamed, and escape the clutches of Tzeentch. It was a shot at redemption. And the PPC’s not-inconsiderable library was also a large draw. If this was a mercenary job, it was the best payment he’d ever gotten on one. What time precisely he left canon is… hard to say. Time doesn’t exactly work right in the Eye, or in the Warp. However, it seems to be some time prior to the present, as he was previously unaware of the Tyranids and other recent events in M41.
