Origin:

Like all modrons, the one and only Primus is an extradimensional clockwork being, hailing from the orderly plane of Mechanus. Its alien physiology is a bizarre blend of flesh and gears, and this - combined with its inherent magical nature and deific stature - is the source of its supernatural powers.

Known Powers (in addition to common Hierarch Modron powers):

Immortality:
Primus is likely the single most powerful proponent of order in the multiverse (save for perhaps the Vishanti), and while it is presiding over the modrons on Mechanus, it is considered an immortal being (it can be killed, but only by other immortals or under nigh-impossible conditions). Off Mechanus, it can be slain normally.

However, that would still be very, very difficult.

Schooling: Sorcerer Supreme - Philosophical Magic/Order (Mechanus)

Primus is the lord of the modrons and (arguably) all of Mechanus, and as such, has truly staggering magical powers at its disposal. While in Mechanus, it has the ability to cast any spell of order at Class 1000 ability (!), though off-plane, this power is reduced to Shift Y (200) in rank; Primus is not quite as potent outside Mechanus, but is still rather dangerous.

Equipment:

Infinity Web:
this techno-organic mesh of sensors and tendons is accessible by Primus within his great tower, from where it can use the device to sense everything that is happening to any of its modrons, at any time no matter where in the omniverse they happen to be. While it is connected to the Infinity Web, Primus' intuition score is raised by +3 CS, to Shift Z (500) rank.

Quirks:

Fighting Logistics:
Primus, like all modrons, wields a naturally organized mind. It can apply its inherent analytical tendecies to combat applications, sizing up a foe rather quickly. This allows it to add a +1 CS to all fighting FEAT rolls made against a foe after 1d10 rounds (not turns), a bouns that lasts until said opponent radically changes his fighing style.

Talents (in addition to common Hierarch Modron talents):

All MSH RPG Talents:
while the other hierarch modrons may have many more skills than are presented in their individual entries, the extent of their specific knowledge is unknown. Primus, on the other hand, knows virtually everything, and as such, should be considered knowledgable in any matter quantifiable by skills in the MSH RPG game. Yep, every skill.

It may have the inability to act on some of this knowledge (for instance, there are no known time machines on Mechanus, nor truly advanced technology to speak of), but it likely still has it. This is because, thanks to the Infinity Web that lies within its tower, Primus can sense anything any of its modrons experience, at any time - it picks up on things rather quick thanks to this...

Personality:

Absolutely intelligent and powerful beyond mortal ken, Primus must come across as a terrifyingly logical deity to those mortals lucky (or foolish) enough to intrude upon its presence. Its ultimate goals for the modrons, Mechanus, and the multiverse are unknown and unknowable, but it pursues them with absolute clarity of vision.

Appearance:

Primus may manifest to mortals in many ways. It can appear as a human of normal size (though androgynous) when dealing with others besides its secundi. However, it can also manifest as a gigantic humanoid (around thirty feet tall), emerging from the vast pool of modron energy within its tower, its arms swathed in powerful energies.

The left is covered in shadow, and the right in bright rainbow hues. It may have additional means to manifest to others, but these have yet to be revealed.

Ecological Niche:

Primus is it, the be-all and end-all of modron existence. It and it alone decides just what is order on Mechanus (and possibly beyond), and directs the modrons to do its bidding in order to shape reality as it feels it must (whatever that ultimate vision of order may be). It is unchallenged in its role as the arbiter of order in the multiverse.
