[The Hive Mind]

Perin Harkon - The Chief Chirurgeon and The Head Mortician. Harkon has been head of the Morgue and the Medicae Bay for twenty years, having served there for thirty more. He was born on the Forward unto Dawn, and rarely sets foot off the vessel. He is tall, thin, and of a typically pale Void-Born complexion. Neat, clean-shaven, and always found dressed in his Mortician's apron (much to the dismay of those visiting the Medicae bays), Harkon also reeks of preservative fluids. Both his hands have been replaced with bionic augmentations - needles, scissors, corpse-sustainer injectors, and so forth, although he has been seen with hands from time to time indicating he has found some way to replae bionic augmentations when needed. Harkon does not acknowledge his rank, though few would dare disrespect the man who will most likely handle their corpse before burial. Akreides has a much higher than average understanding of technology, as it relates to his trade, and could even be considered a Heretek tinker. The tech-priests have not formally objected to his knowledge, supposedly bartering with him for the best corpses for new Servitor models. He appears to be in his late middle-age, and parts his hair severely down the middle.
