New Men
The New Men or Homo Novus are creations of Fabius Bile.[2]
Viewed as the pinnacle of Bile's "art", these are creatures who possess strength and intelligence superior to any human, as well as the worst traits of mankind. Fabius secretly seeds New Men on worlds across the Galaxy, hoping to one day have them overtake the Human race. As Fabius leaves behind planets of corrupted human abominations, the Adeptus Astartes and the Inquisition strive to purge these creations, and are forced to destroy entire populations.[1]
A sub-type of New Men are Gland Hounds. These are made by partial gene-seed implantation. Gland Hounds are designed to hunt Space Marines in packs and retrieve their gene-seed. They are loyal to Bile on a genetic level and worship him as a quasi-god.[3]
