I already had an idea that Surt is a survivor of original Helheim population.

No I was think something along the lines of him being the actual boots turned into a real man like pinocchio does from a wooden puppet somehow.

Holy shit man. Does that mean his body is actually a large moving crystall? Not being an arse I just think that would be so cool. Half sentient half crystall.

At this point it's as good a theory as any.
Heck going by what we know it's more plausible than many too.
Who knows what he looks like under dat armor?

1. not very likely, they require a very different set of skills and talents and do not really have any use
2. yes you have a few hundred now

Probably he did. Even a weak blank should be easily detected by psykers. That's why I think that we are the last party in IT to find this secret. After all, there are probably contacts of our psykers and Niffelheimers happening when we trade.

The helmet is, but one piece covering his head.
It could easily be a very convincing mask
.Yeah I'm going full conspiracy theorist.
@Durin
1. Given our currently excellent relations with the Trust will we get the option to ask for a private meeting with Surt and Ulric and ask the big question?
Namely WTF are you?

Yeah, but typically not at the emergency ones, usually we only do it at the regularly scheduled meetings.
1. If you were us would you advise that course of action.

@Durin, I have some questions:
1) Avernus has high, more evenly distributed than usual GDP per capita and good social welfare system. So probably most of the workers there are, uh, enthusiasts, and therefore potential Slaaneshi cultists. Also, there is probably some pretty big stigma on such work due to our culture. Why do we allow it?
2) How easy psykers can detect blanks? Pretty sure that it should be quite easy.
3) How often Niffelheimers meet our psykers when we trade?

Egggggsssailent.
I hope that the current situation and asking for inter trust ... trust ehrguh, may be enough to convince them to spill the beans to us.
Strong will.
Constant attacks.
Hatred to Slaanesh.
Like feeling anger you won't fall to Slaanesh through that unless you go whole debauchery.
Just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Surt Illuminati confirmed.
But seriously, he might be a perpetual. Maybe he was a viking once, or Conan's friend, or the Emperor's science asistant, or Suleika's best friend from thirty thousand years ago, or Steve from accounting. Or maybe... all of them and more.

Well Battle Neo-astropaths/receivers choirs would be good for plotting out possibly sub-sector or maybe even sector-wide fleet movements/intel?
Or extending the range of a grand choir out to almost interstellar ranges?

Now you're getting it.
All we really know for sure is that Surt has been called our Glorfindle by @Durin.
Seeing his combat stat I'm not inclined to disagree.

The Emperor once orchestrated the events of Captain America because he felt people needed a role model.

tin foil is cheap. Tin is not transmittable through radio waves.
Maybe we could give Surt a work of Avernite art and a space battleship in exchange for his life story. That and flying land-raiders, perhaps.
Edit: or just a party for his birthday along with wine, fruit, and a giant cake for everyone.

1. because it seems impossible to remove and this way you can regulate it easily, among other things there is a maximum amount of time working in one
2. it depends on a blank, spotting a sigma or Tau is very hard, given tht it is tellingbthe difference between 0.1 power and -0.1 power while spotting actually powerful blanks is very easy
3. not very often at all, psykers usually aren't involved in trade and Niflehimers don't come down onto the planet much (like most offworlders they want to live)
they could not provide any intel that normal Neo-Astropaths can't, and would actually be worse at those jobs
if you tired using Neo-Astropaths to extend the range of normal psykers the most liekly result would be losing all the Neo-Astropaths and normal psykers, and possibly triggering a demoniac incursion
you are series underestimating how hard that sort of thing is, your Neo-Astroapths will have the highest death rate of any psyker on Avernus if they only have to handle sending infomation, somehow projecting any amount of power over their link would be impossible
