Draykavac
Archmagos Yelav Draykavac was the ruler of the Forge World Cyclothrathe during the Horus Heresy, and sided with Horus during the war, when the latter promised to lift Big E's restrictions on what tech could and could not be used. He is infamously remembered as the first of the Dark Mechanicum.
History
Draykavac ruled a barely livable rock that was constantly ravaged by violent electromagnetic storms and largely isolated from the Imperium at large. The archmagos was know for two things: doing just about anything to gain knowledge and further his understanding, and running the Cyclothrantine Knight House like a slave driver. When the Heresy began, he jumped on the team Horus bandwagon as means to expand his own pocket empire. Despite doing pretty much his own thing regardless of the Sons of Horus captain at Port Maw, he was still a key player in the war for the Coronid Deeps, fighting constantly against the Agathon Solar Auxilia and the local Knight Houses of the region. He had also an obsession with turning people into servitors for his armies, from the civilian populations of the worlds he conquered, to the pilots of his own Imperial Knights.
Despite all of the evil shenanigans he was up to during the Heresy, those would in the long term end up serving the Imperium. His flagship was found floating near the Malestorm during the Great Scouring, completely abandoned and containing an fully intact archive of all his campaigns. This would give the Imperium precious information to better fight the Dark Mechanicum in the milennia to come.
