Fabricator-General is the political leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Magos Mechanicus of the Cult Mechanicus. As the defacto figurehead of one of the most powerful organisations within the entirety of the Imperial hierarchy, the Fabricator-General has a permanent seat on the Senatorum Imperialis as one of its reigning High Lords of Terra. A Fabricator-General is also a position of authority held by the senior-most Magos, who holds sway over an individual Forge World by dint of their superior knowledge and insight into their chosen fields.

Notable Fabricator-Generals.

• Kelbor-Hal - Kelbor-Hal was the Fabricator-General of Mars during the latter days of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. When the Heresy began he swore allegiance to the service of Warmaster Horus and the Forces of Chaos, becoming the first leader of the Dark Mechanicus. In the name of his new allegiance, Kelbor-Hal would unleash the terrible civil war known as the Schism of Mars upon the Red Planet, the sacred heart of the faith of the Machine God.
• Gastaph Hediatrix - Gastaph Hediatrix was the reigning Fabricator-General during the Age of Apostasy, a second period of civil war in the Imperium of Man during the early 36th Millennium when the Imperium's government was essentially seized by a single man, High Lord Goge Vandire, who ruled the Imperium according to his own wishes instead of in accord with the Emperor's will. Enraged by what he saw, Hedriatix ordered regiments of the Martian Tech-Guard to transport to Terra. These regiments were joined by multiple Space Marine Chapters comprised of the Black Templars, Fire Hawks, Imperial Fists and Soul Drinkers, who assaulted the Ecclesiarchal Palace, the central complex which housed the Apostate High Lord, and ended Vandire's Reign of Blood. The Fabricator-General, with the help of the Space Marine Chapters, set about resurrecting what remained of the High Lords of Terra and played an instrumental role in ensuring those who profited from the Reign of Blood would face trial for their conduct.
