Jagieos

Jagieos is a fictional character from the *Warhammer 40,000* tabletop wargame and its associated lore, created by Games Workshop. He is a notable figure within the Imperium of Man, specifically among the Adeptus Mechanicus, the tech-priest faction devoted to the worship of the Machine God. Jagieos serves as the Primarch of the Iron Hands, one of the twenty Primarchs sired by the Emperor of Mankind during the Great Crusade. The Iron Hands are a legendary Space Marine Legion known for their advanced cybernetic enhancements, brutal combat tactics, and strict adherence to the Code of the Iron Hands.

As a Primarch, Jagieos is depicted as a towering, heavily armored figure, often wielding massive weapons and exuding an aura of cold discipline. Unlike many of his brothers, he is not directly tied to a specific planet or homeworld, as the Iron Hands were scattered across the galaxy during the Horus Heresy. His legacy is marked by his unyielding loyalty to the Emperor and his belief in the superiority of the Machine Cult. Jagieos is also associated with the concept of "the Will of the Machine," a philosophy that emphasizes the necessity of technological evolution and the suppression of organic weakness.

In the lore, Jagieos is often portrayed as a tragic figure, as his Legion was nearly destroyed during the Horus Heresy due to their rigid adherence to their beliefs. Many of his followers were either killed or assimilated into the Imperium after the betrayal of their Primarch, Horus Lupercal, leading to the Iron Hands being reduced to a single, isolated chapter. Despite this, Jagieos remains a revered symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the ideals of the Machine God.

His influence extends beyond the Iron Hands, as his teachings and cybernetic innovations have shaped the Imperium’s approach to warfare and technology. Jagieos is occasionally referenced in *Warhammer 40,000* novels and supplementary materials, though his direct appearances are rare due to the nature of his Legion’s fate. His legacy endures as a testament to the enduring power of the Machine Cult and the Imperium’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
