As a being of absolute law and order, you served under Primus's command. You may have been a simple monodrone who served in the modron army, or a pentadrone leading a unit of modrons in battle. When you pick this background, work with your DM to determine why you took up an adventuring life. Maybe Primus gave you orders to do something on the Material Plane, or you were part of the Great Modron March, and a minor defect caused you to fall behind all the other modrons, forcing you to do something else with your life. An entire campaign might be based on getting you back to Mechanus.
