Arc 1The Atalos Uprising

Li Wei survived the Underhive by turning his Pariah field into protection and trading the Inquisition data-slate for a way off-world. After Genestealers seized control of House Atalos, he helped Aurelia expose them and sparked a citywide revolt, leaving them headed for the starport to steal the governor’s yacht.

  • Inquisitor Gregor spared Li Wei after a blind psyker identified him as a void, then sent him into a dark energy hub to retrieve data while the Warp creatures and defense machines targeted him.
  • Li Wei escaped the collapsing facility with the data-slate, survived in the Underhive, and used his Pariah field and mechanical skills to earn supplies and protect a group of scavengers.
  • Li Wei sold intelligence about a Genestealer infestation to Valorian, but after learning Valorian intended to manipulate the conflict, he approached Aurelia van Atalos and offered to help find hidden Hybrids.
  • At the governor’s family dinner, Li Wei identified infected nobles and officials, and Aurelia’s relatives transformed and began slaughtering the guests as the uprising erupted.
  • Li Wei and Aurelia escaped the Crown of Atalos, recruited Rampant Servitors, and led them against rebel guards and Genestealer Hybrids in the noble district.
  • Li Wei and Aurelia fought through the Broadcasting Center, where Li Wei killed a Genestealer psyker and broadcast evidence of the banquet massacre across the Hive City.
  • Workers and gangs rose against the exposed Genestealer cult as riots and fires spread, and Li Wei and Aurelia set out for the starport to steal the governor’s private yacht.

Arc 2From Tomb World to Medusa

Li Wei survived a Necron tomb world, escaped Archmagos Axis’s corrupted warship, and reached Medusa with Elena and Atticus. Elena returned to the Adepta Sororitas, while Li Wei accepted work with Clan Raukaan to control the Necron knowledge in his mind.

  • Li Wei and Aurelia escaped Atalos Hive City as a Vortex Torpedo destroyed it, then Li Wei was imprisoned aboard the Black Ship Angel of Death.
  • Li Wei defeated the Alpha-level Psyker and was flung through the Warp onto a Necron Tomb World, where he met Elena and fought to escape the tomb’s soul-draining systems.
  • Li Wei freed a C’tan fragment from the Necron machinery, and an Inquisition warship’s attack prompted a mechanical claw to pull him and Elena away before the Tomb World was destroyed.
  • Axis captured Li Wei and Elena, but Li Wei escaped with Atticus and rescued Elena from the furnace, and the three then found a C’tan Shard powering Axis’s warship.
  • Li Wei used his Void Collapse to destroy the Demon Engine Core, and he injected Necron anti-Warp data into Pain to help the group escape before the Shard of the Void Dragon destroyed the ship.
  • Atticus brought Li Wei and Elena to Medusa, where Karrg tested Li Wei’s knowledge and accepted his help purging scrapcode from Iron Hands systems.
  • Karrg arranged Elena’s return to the Adepta Sororitas, and Li Wei accepted work with Clan Raukaan in exchange for help suppressing the Necron database’s effects.
