Safe to say that these ladies and gentlemen are the sickest fucks to be found this side of Commoragh and Slaanesh's Palace.

His Merry Mengele Brigade[edit]
Bile spends most of his time trolling around the galaxy with his crew of fellow chaos apothecaries and hangers-on aboard his own bio-hybrid Gladius Frigate Vesalius.
- Arrian Zorzi - former World Eater and Fabius' right hand man. Eerily calm for one of Angron's gene-sons, which he maintains via a combination of meditation, chemical treatments, and occasional murder sprees to let some pressure off. As with all World Eater apothecaries, he's an extremely good melee fighter. Loyal to the end, he goes out in an epic Butcher's Nails overdrive killing spree against the Dark Eldar.
- Honourable Tzimiskes Flay - A rare Iron Warrior apothecary and amateur Techmarine. Doesn't talk. Ever. As he took an oath of silence. Specializes in cybernetic enhancement and integrating biological components into robots. Got killed during the battle of Craftworld Lugganeth (he also was the nicest post-heresy Iron warrior in all of 40k bar none).
- Oleander Koh - Emperor's Children Apothecary and a former personal pupil of Fabius. Tries to scheme his way into getting Fabius to rejoin the full legion. Did this by trying to make deals with Harlequins, like a fool. He eventually told Fabius about his grand plan, and his master reciprocated this by disowning and marooning him on Craftworld Lungganeth as Fabius' forces escaped. His fate is unknown, although its more than likely he was super-murdered by the craftworld's forces or the clown goblins he was making a deal with. Turns out to be a lot worse ; they turned him over to the Dark Eldar, albeit deliberately as part of a VERY long term plan.
- Skalagrim Phar - Former Sons of Horus Apothecary and majorly unpopular in both the Consortium and Black Legion. Prefers doing surgery Cthonian style. With a chainaxe. Fabius keeps him around because he still has connections to the Black Legion and Abaddon. In the end, he's given a copy of Fabius's knowledge (a literal brain to eat) and the stock of uncorrupted geneseed and used as a living apology to Abbadon. Is still around post Gathering Storm.
- Khorag Sinj - Former Grave Warden and one of the very few Death Guard apothecaries. Is rather jolly and convivial for a Death Guard, let alone a traitor marine. Specializes in, obviously, plagues and diseases. Manages to do his work whilst in Cataphractii plate. Also has a pet beast of Nurgle called Pazuuz that he treats like a fucking labrador. Surprisingly, he and Fabius are on particularly lukewarm terms; their relationship is about as casual as two office workers who occasionally does small talk with each other over the water cooler.
- Saqqara Ur-Damak Thresh - Word Bearer Diabolist. Not an apothecary or a member of Fabius's Consortium. Was the leader of a Dark Council sanctioned assassination party that tried to kill Fabius (according to Josh, he was sent out to die). Saqqara was the only survivor and Fabius forced him into service by lacing his body with hundreds of creatively nasty deathtraps that depend on Fabius to keep from going off. As such, he's used as an extremely reluctant occult expert and verbal sparring partner for Fabius. Unlike many in the Word Bearers, he was never part of the whole Erebus / Kor Phaeron faction nonsense, trying to serve Lorgar's will instead.
