Aleph Machaon Myrmidon Doctor Miniature Corvus Belli

COR280837 Aleph Machaon Myrmidon Doctor Miniature Corvus Belli

In Greek Mythology, Machaon was son of Asclepius. Machaon was a near-miraculous doctor and surgeon with the gift of mending any wound, no matter how grave it was. Hero of the Trojan War, he commanded 40 ships and took part in many combats. Some sources place him amongst the warriors hidden inside the Trojan horse.

Notes of Thamyris the Aoidos for the S.S.S. Information Service. Warrior-Doctor of the Myrmidons, Machaon is a mad genius. He can heal almost any wound and fight as well as the bravest of heroes, but he is eccentric and extravagant to the bone, antisocial, distrustful and with a very, very difficult character.

What is the sense of a medical officer in an assault unit such as the Myrmidons? Truthfully, it makes no sense. Usually the Assault Subsection delegates health care matters to the efficient Sophotects, always with optimal results. So...what is the explanation for the presence of this doctor, unique among his class in the Myrmidons? Only ALEPH knows. It is not clear if Machaon was a purposeful experiment, a test of an alternative personality for the Aspects of the Assault Subsection or if he is a chance result of the random pattern combination programs run by ALEPH to create its Aspects.

No matter the reason, Machaon always showed a great curiosity for medical investigation to the point where, during his instruction, he was discovered to have falsified a user certificate to examine the camp labs. Regardless of this, and thanks to ALEPHs requirements, he was permitted to continue his studies despite the severe discipline of the Subsection requiring he fulfill his duties as a Myrmidon warrior.

Spurred by this condition, Machaon fought with an obsessive intensity in all the battles he took part in, standing out thanks to his exceptional combat intelligence.
