Venator

Unlike most aeons, venators spend much of their time in the mortal Universe. Axiomites build these fgures of brass and gears to hunt their enemies. Although capable combatants on their own, venators frequently act as trackers for other aeons, leading a group of vigilias to secure a criminal or guiding a bythos to its targets.

Each venator is forged with its targets already assigned, a scrap of axiomite formula integrated in the gears that whir beneath their armor. The targets are narrowly defned by the formula and are usually a single named target, a family, or a small group that directly participated in an event.

A venator's targets rarely threaten the balance of reality overtly; instead, they're often privy to certain secrets or new magical theories.

As a result, even the venator rarely knows why it has been assigned a given target. Recently forged venators are incredibly thorough in their work, methodically destroying the body of their target and any nearby objects (like notes, books, or even graffti) that might contain secrets.

Successful venators are left without targets and are abandoned to their own devices. They're generally eager to fnd a new purpose, even if it's a temporary one from a mortal summoning. Many eventually extend their original missions, choosing new targets similar to their previous ones or, in some cases, continuing to chase the souls of their original targets.
