Artifact: Nemesis Device (Redressor)
-Xenotech artifact resembling a crystalline 33 pointed star; currently integrated into the right hand of Quinten Cutter. Recovered during the Lava Tube Xenotechnological Incident.
-The Device is sensitive to the Immaterium, and the abilities of Psykers; indeed, fusion seems to occur not merely with the physical form of the host, but with their soul.
-The Device has incredible powers of healing, biological manipulation, and purging of corruption (particularly that of a plaguelike nature). Quinten himself is now capable of sustaining and recovering completely from fatal damage to his body; this includes regeneration of limbs and organs. He also cannot have his biological form/appearance altered by other means, including elective surgery.
-After having been subject to the healing abilities of the Device, the subject will have microscopic inert particles in their blood and bone marrow. These particles do not seem contagious in any form. Similar, but not identical particles, have been found in the bone marrow of the victims of exsanguination found in the Underhive Vampire Investigation.
-If a subject of healing has been touched by corruption, becoming target by the Device will result in immediate and violent purging of chaos from the body, and seemingly the soul as well, prior to any physical restoration. This can be painful and cause long term damage, up to and including death, as observed in the Purge of Bluehull-92.
-Ownership of the Device seems to have designated Quinten as a form of Guardian; he seems to have gained a connection to the Cinquefoils and their relationship with reality.
-The Device appears to have limitations; Quinten's analysis of Fex's condition was that he would be unable to heal the hiver without sacrificing a portion of his soul.
