Originally designed by the heretical Techpriest Nemerhaz Sekphus as a method of data collection, the Nurglite Corruption that originated from Sekphus sank deep into the meme-virus and was totally corrupted. Intrigued above all else by the change of the meme-virus, at that point having been known as Meme-Virus CA170, Nemerhaz infected several batches of individuals with the meme-virus. The infected soon slowly started to be corrupted by the Nurglite Virus, their skin turned ash grey and any wounds they suffered refused to heal and instead leaked a strange black oil. Their cheeks shrunk until they rotted, their gums bled a black blood, and their eyes decayed to the point of non-existence. However none of the Infected died, they remained alive screaming and whispering of lives long lost. But one Infected stood out. A former soldier, Infected-Alpha170 kept his comprehension and intelligence. He was able to communicate perfectly with the Techpriest, still operate the equipment of his former life, but he was unable to recall any information of his past life when asked. This soldier would later on be verbally reborn as Calyx, the Lone Army. A Scourge made Man, Calyx is an viral entity given strength by the unending desire of it's host to survive. Of all the infected a sole individual rose up above the Scourge. A veteran soldier of the Imperial Guard. The madness that sank in and brought despair to each infected seemed to spare the soldier. As his body suffered alongside his infected kin, his mind seemed spared the misery of degeneration. For many years the soldier would spend in the Warpsmith's labs, new infected being constantly added increasing the many voices that whispered at the back of his skull. For years the whispering got louder and louder, until all he could hear was them. But eventually a light would appear. A voice of joy, of happiness, and so full of vibrant laughter. A voice of the Savior. In exchange for his servitude, the Soldier would gain the ability to command all infected with CA170 and a life to live by. And so with his proclamation the Viral Entity Calyx was born. As the infected moved forth as one soul consisting of hundreds of voices, they overcame the guards of the heretical Techpriest. Not moving as a simple horde but as a cool calculating mind that picks apart a puzzle. With his freedom before him, Calyx left and would eventually join the Wraiths of Maklegor using the Nurglite Warband as a tool to break the Imperial Blockade on the Dragontooth Nebula.
