I would like to propose Four characters for our protagonist, as I am yet undecided between them. Some of them are takes on previously proposed characters, and some are wholly my own
The Misplaced (and Surprisingly Badass) Administrator
Name: Frederick Rotbart
Age: 87, juvenat to physically 30-odd
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Gallium III (civilised world)
Background: Administratum (-4 M -1 I +6 A)
Traits: Military Genius (+6 M -1 I -1 A)
Warrior of the Shadows (+2 M +2 I)
Intelligent (+1 M +1 I +1 A +1 L +1 P +1 D)
Backer: Ordo Malleus
Martial: +5, Intrigue: +1, Administration: +6, Learning: +1, Piety:+1, Diplomacy: +1
You got the shock of your life several years ago when you arrived on Avernus. Instead of the debt-ridden agri-world you were told you were being sent to govern, you found yourself looking down on a sprawling diabolical deathworld. There must have been one hell of a misunderstanding somewhere in the upper levels of the Administratum to get you put in charge here. You were not a fighter, and had never even seen a feral world, let alone a deathworld, who in their right mind would put you in charge here? Unfortunately, the paperwork was genuine. You were the official governor of Avernus, and the very serious looking soldiers gave you the impression that they would brook no desertion.
One of the few things that got you through the initial stages of your governorship was your having served as an inquisitor's favourite go-to in the administratum, and having earned a number of favours. You can barely imagine the look on her face when she received your message. "I seem to have accidentally been appointed governor of a warp-touched deathworld. Any advice or assistance you could offer would be thoroughly appreciated." She ended up sending one of her better agents to serve as your assistant and advisor, under whose subtle influence the rates of chaos-related incidents waned sharply.
No-one, not even you could have predicted how this place would change you, and just how well you would adapt to it. Setting your not inconsiderable skills to the task of solving the myriad logistical problems that face a deeathworld colony, you rapidly began to show a real talent for commanding soldiers. You are no inspiring leader, able to rouse the men into a fervour with a speech, or lead by shining example, nor could you tactically plan your way out of a paper bag. Nonetheless, you are excellent at assessing the capabilities of your troops, strategic planning, and know how to make best use of your military commanders.
You wonder, sometimes, whether there is a paranoid and perplexed lord general out there somewhere, who had been led to believe that he was being sent to one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy, trying to balance the books on the agri-world you were meant to end up on. You also wonder whether he will be sent to replace you if and when the mistake is discovered, and one day you were shocked to discover that you didn't actually want that to happen. Yes, every day IS a struggle to stay afloat against infinitely varied malefic terrors, but for the first time in your life, your duty is pure and clear: survive, safeguard as many of the souls under your command as possible, and build them into the best damn fighting force the galaxy has ever seen. The Emperor has led you to your duty in mysterious ways, but you have never been more certain that this is your purpose in life.
The Emperor has set Avernus in YOUR hands, and you will not relinquish it to anyone, not even if the gods of the Warp themselves tried to take it from you.
Your duty is clear, your will is firm.
You can not fail.
You WILL not fail!
The Lord Generalist
Name: Dresden Tollens
Age: 123, Juvenat to physically 30-odd
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Giermund's Folly (Fortress World)
Background: Military (+5 M -2 I +1 A -1 D)
Traits: Expert Bureaucrat (-1 M +5 A -1 D)
Spymaster (+4 I)
Intelligent (+1 M +1 I +1 A +1 L +1 P +1 D)
Backer: Ordo Malleus
Martial: +5, Intrigue: +3, Administration: +7, Learning: +1, Piety:+1, Diplomacy: -1
[Statwise, this falls somewhere between Superticus's build and ElderHaman's build. While the martial skill of the Lord Generalist is less than that of either build, he has considerably more administrative skill, and has a better intrigue. He has worse learning, piety and diplomacy than the Intelligent Military Genius, but they are less vital skills. I am at this point undecided as to which is better.]
Well into your second century of fighting the enemies of the Imperium, you were a natural choice for this position, one of the most demanding governorships outside Cadia. While there are other lord generals that command their troops with greater ease, you are also capable of seeing that even in the most hectic of warzones, every single one of your soldiers has enough weaponry, ammunition, equipment and food. On nearly every front you command, spies and traitors have a habit of winding up nailed to walls.
You have a wealth of experience, and the skills to meet the numerous and varied challenges of establishing a colony on a warp-touched deathworld. you had even come with the highest recommendations of an Ordo Malleus inquisitor with whom you had worked with in the past. All this and more they told you in the office of the senior adept of the Administratum in charge of the project. Honoured by the offer, and confident that you were the right man for the job, you accepted the challenge.
You received only one message from your inquisitorial associate between that meeting and your arrival on Avernus. it came as you were making ready to leave the planet. It consisted of a set of the best set of non-Astartes power armour you had ever seen, engraved head to toe in hexagrammic and pentagrammic wards, with a bolt pistol and power sword to match, along with a note.
The note simply read:
"I am sorry"
The Second Coming of Macharius
Name: Alexei Magna
Age: 56
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Arbuda IV (death world)
Background: Military (+5 M -2 I +1 A -1 D)
Traits: Military Genius (+6 M -1 I -1 A)
Combat Veteran (+4 M)
Warrior of the Shadows (+2 M +2 I)
Backer: Ordo Malleus
Martial: +17, Intrigue: -1, Administration: +0, Learning: +0, Piety:+0, Diplomacy: -1
[This is very similar to Lord Chaos's build, and as such I have kept the name. Given that the plans have different titles, there should be no confusion. This is basically my take on the same basic idea.]
[The lack of any real bonus outside martial will HURT! if we get a low roll on intrigue or admin, we come close to losing before we even start.]
You are the best of the best, they said. Your skills at commanding fighting men are peerless among the munitorium, and you hail from a deathworld yourself. We could pick no better man for the job of governor of Avernus, they said.
How the hell were you to know that the infiltrator you had executed was an inquisitorial agent?
The Paranoid Bastard with Fleet Support
Name: Xanatos Regal
Age: 72
Gender: male
Homeworld: Necromunda (Hive Word)
Background: Administratum (-4 M -1 I +6 A)
Traits: Spymaster (+4 I)
Warrior of the Shadows (+2 M +2 I)
Witch Hunter (+2 Piety, bonus to finding psykers)
Backer: Naval
Martial: -2, Intrigue: +5, Administration: +6, Learning: +0, Piety:+2, Diplomacy: +0
+?% bonus to finding psykers
[I know, -2 martial skill on the leader of a hellworld. Before you start to question such scant sanity as I may yet retain, hear me out. High intrigue means that the enemy within, psykers, mutants, cultists and demons, will be much less of a threat. With any luck, the extra ships that a naval backer gives you will be enough to orbitally bombard any external threats enough to make things manageable.]
No story for this one, as it is something of a joke build.
Of these, I think that the lord generalist is the best in terms of statistics. In terms of narrative, I love the misplaced administrator though.
For the moment, I shall make a tentative vote for the Misplaced Administrator. I am open to other builds, or revisions to any of these.

I dont think -1Intel +0Pious is better than -3Intel +2Pious
Yes its a bit minmaxed but hopefully our higher Piety offsets the Chaos Cultists
Esp. with Malleus backing to find the cults.
Also: I noticed with your Misplaced Admin you had the Mechanicus backer, which makes sense thematically for Avernus (being 2x Ruins) but I dont think will help as much as the others

Actually my build has the same Administrative skill, +7. +1 for Military background and +6 for Expert Bureaucrat.
You put effort into putting an interesting and cool and interesting background for Frederick Rotbart. I am considering voting for him.

@ LordChaos: The impression that I get is that intrigue will carry more weight than personal piety in the nullification of cultists, demons, psykers and mutants. I may well be wrong, though. I suspect that difference won't carry a lot of weight. While both builds have superlative martial skills, I doubt either is terribly viable, as they leave us too open to a bad roll dooming us through abysmal intrigue or admin.
I have changed the misplaced admin's backer to Ordo Malleus, and justified it in the flavour text.
@ Superticus: Yeah, sorry, I got confused and generalised spuriously. the difference between our generalist builds is whether an extra five martial skill is worth two intrigue and diplomacy, and one each of piety and learning. It is difficult for me to tell which is better, if, indeed, one is at all.
I'm with you on the matter of Frederick Rotbart. I know he is not the most optimised build, but as much as I enjoy optimisation, I would much rather play a character with an interesting narrative than a character with a fully optimised statline.

I'm still preferring the Military leader with Intelligent and Genius so we have good bonuses to everything and great ones to Martial. We choose the hell world, we need an overpowered General to help us survive.

(commencing pretentious grandstanding)
Rotbart is the Everyman public servant who gets screwed over accidentally by the bureaucracy. He needs to adapt his skills, best utilised from behind a desk, to a world that can be charitably described as a warzone.
While quite bright, he's not a super-genius who could find the 10 trillionth digit of pi faster than a supercomputer or who could save the galaxy on his inventions alone. He's not a Space Marine or a Saint or the reincarnation of a great hero either; he's just a human, with all of the faults of one, and all of the strengths, too.
Yet while others would lie down and rage against the Emperor for the injustice of it all, Rotbart accepts that this is his situation; he's stuck here. He hasn't broken down into depression or catatonia; he's discovered that he has an aptitude for new talents, talents that he hopes will let him, and everyone he's responsible for, survive. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. But you know what? He's going to try his hardest either way, and do the Emperor proud.
Rotbart is not the best man for the job. But if Rotbart can survive and lead a successful colony on Avernus, suddenly humanity's future doesn't seem so uncertain after all. Suddenly, perhaps, humanity has hope.

I also want The Second Coming of Macharius being general that found himself ruling agriworld, heh. And found himself neck deep in Ork Waaagh suddenly being only hope for his subsector to stall them enough for reinforcements.

My take on the lost actual general is that he ended up being paranoid enough to discover that the world he was sent to had a Necron tomb, and waging a campaign of eradication against them, all the while assuming that they were the reason he had been led to believe it was so difficult.
Knowing 40k though, it could well have been both at once.

*looks at Lord Generalist* We can actually have both. And sending two governors with military background on the same planet at the same time AND displacing both of them is fuckup worthy of Administratum.

I like the way you think, friend.
I can just imagine the two of them meeting each other on the agri-world, and exchanging sheepish looks.
"Were you sent here to govern an alleged hellworld?"
"yup"
"Me too. Bloody Administratum"
I can see them fossicking around for threats as, well, it's not like their personal armies had anything better to do.
Actually, I think that the second coming of Macharius and the lord generalist would make an excellent team, the latter covering the former's many weaknesses, and allowing him to shine in military command.

Lord Inquisitor Magda Ryan made an exasperated sigh and looked away from the two sets of papers before her. Then she turned to the richly dressed man in the room that was heavily sweating while she did read through papers.
- "Fine, let's get things straight - you not only managed to send two governors to the same planet at the same time... I already want to shoot somebody for wasting precious resources by the way... but you also managed to frakking displace BOTH of them while sending there a glorified pen-pusher that was planned to rule peaceful agri-world instead of that hellhole? Not only that, your people managed to misfile papers in a way that one went to the Nova Thessaly, the very same agri-world, which is understandable and another went to New Thessaly which is mining world in entirely different sector! My urge to shoot somebody is rising. And as some ugly joke by some damned reason report of the death of New Thessaly governor was misfiled so they waited for replacement governor for the FIFTY YEARS!!! While not paying tithe I must note... or did they? Or some idiot decided to pocket said tithe? So situation wasn't noticed. But wait, it gets better! We can't even recall one of them back to correct that fumble as Nova Thessaly is under onslaught of Waagh and "peaceful mining world" of New Thessaly have Emperor-damned Necron ruins that somehow weren't reported to Inquisition beforehand and they are not so much ruins now as reports show. And you know what? You have one day, as in standard imperial 24 hours to find excuse, no, not to shoot you, to not declare Exterminatus on this fucking planet of the pen-pushers! Because it's the last straw that Ordo Hereticus can take from your imbecilic cretins. And you know? With this last fuckup you pissed not only us, but Xenos and Malleus enough that vote on that on conclave would be nearly unanimous. It's almost easier to draft new Administratum Center for Pacificus than keep up with your fuckups. Go and make it so it wasn't easier. As I said you have one day."
PS. Shitty omake is shitty... *sigh*

First one is correct. He was sent there as in our hellhole. He is definitely not their pen-pusher, he's Ordo Malleus pet pen pusher, even more so after assignment.
The sentence needs to be rephrased then:
"while sending a glorified pen-pusher that was planned to rule peaceful agri-world to that hellhole instead?"
"while sending a glorified pen-pusher that was planned to rule peaceful agri-world to that hellhole instead?"

[Make that two.]
You are in your governatorial office when it happens, co-ordinating the efforts to contain a potential warp-rift caused by a rogue psyker. Mere seconds after you receive report that the rogue psyker had been shot before he could admit any demons into the Materium, your bodyguard, Ajax, clutches his head violently. His face cotorted as if wracked by splitting pain, and when he draws his hands away from his head, they are bloody. He turns to you and, in a more pitiful voice than you had ever heard the stern Cadian use, says "I'm sorry, I should have... should haaaa...", trailing off in panic as his mouth starts to elongate, and body starts to change.
You watch, wordless, never taking your eyes off him for a second, while reaching into the bottom drawer of your desk. Before your eyes, his flesh starts to flow and change. His eyes begin to grow, and bulge out of his head, which in turn begins to elongate and grow more equine. A pair of vestigal legs burst from the carapace armour of his midriff, and his chest-plate begins to bulge in six places, suggesting great change within the armour.
"Get. The. Fuck." You say, rising from your seat, and punctuating each word with a krak grenade from the semi-automatic grenade launcher you keep in your desk. "OUT! OF! MY! OFFICE!" As you yell the final word, what remains of the creature is thrown out the office doorway by the accompanying implosive blast. You approach, cautiously. It shows no sign of stirring, but you are unwilling to take chances. You load a pair of incendiary grenades. "You should have told me you were a psyker, Ajax. We could have made you safe, or at the least, committed your soul to the Emperor. But its too late for that now. Some kind of Tit-Fiend has your body, and the warp has your soul."
There is a pair of loud crack-whoomfs, as the incendiary grenades find their mark, and the hungry flames start to devour the half-demonic cadaver.
You finally notice the guards in the rest of the corridor, staring at the corpse of your ex-bodyguard in shock, and at you in mixed amazement and respect. "What, you didn't think I'd be without a heavy weapon after that incident with the burrowing gnaw-worms last year, did you?" you say, with the ghost of a wry grin about your features.
Maybe you're getting TOO used to Avernus.
+++++++++++++++ This Sort of Shit Is Why I Carry a Grenade Launcher About my Person at all Times +++++++++++++++
Part one: You Just Can't Find Good Help These Days
It is the tenth year of your posting as governor of Avernus, a world that might charitably be described as a poor man's demon world. The Emperor had given you this posting in ways more mysterious than most, but surprisingly you have found yourself equal to the task, and are begginning to get used to your command.Part one: You Just Can't Find Good Help These Days

You watch, wordless, never taking your eyes off him for a second, while reaching into the bottom drawer of your desk. Before your eyes, his flesh starts to flow and change. His eyes begin to grow, and bulge out of his head, which in turn begins to elongate and grow more equine. A pair of vestigal legs burst from the carapace armour of his midriff, and his chest-plate begins to bulge in six places, suggesting great change within the armour.
"Get. The. Fuck." You say, rising from your seat, and punctuating each word with a krak grenade from the semi-automatic grenade launcher you keep in your desk. "OUT! OF! MY! OFFICE!" As you yell the final word, what remains of the creature is thrown out the office doorway by the accompanying implosive blast. You approach, cautiously. It shows no sign of stirring, but you are unwilling to take chances. You load a pair of incendiary grenades. "You should have told me you were a psyker, Ajax. We could have made you safe, or at the least, committed your soul to the Emperor. But its too late for that now. Some kind of Tit-Fiend has your body, and the warp has your soul."
There is a pair of loud crack-whoomfs, as the incendiary grenades find their mark, and the hungry flames start to devour the half-demonic cadaver.
You finally notice the guards in the rest of the corridor, staring at the corpse of your ex-bodyguard in shock, and at you in mixed amazement and respect. "What, you didn't think I'd be without a heavy weapon after that incident with the burrowing gnaw-worms last year, did you?" you say, with the ghost of a wry grin about your features.
Maybe you're getting TOO used to Avernus.

A: 16+4=20- Jane is a competent administrator, able to handle her administrative responsibilities without causing any problems.

C: 18 + 45= 63(+1,490 combat bonus)- Jane is a force of nature on the battlefield, able to cut her way though even elite units and champions without slowing down and with an uncanny ability to dodge and deflect incoming attacks.
(136/7+7=26)
Swordsmanship Paragon Trait: The Inevitable (can dodge anything totally, kills anything that isn't a paragon or colossus on crit, x50 damage on crit,, double damage)- Jane Oakheart is the creator and paragon of the Oakheart style of swordsmanship, which emphases quick kills and dodging incoming attacks.

Combat Paragon Trait: Terror of the Damned (can cut Warp effects with blade, permanently wounds and kills demons, inflicts terror to Chaos)- After a lifetime of hunting down and killing psykers and daemons Jane Oakheart has somehow developed the ability to cut the Warp itself with her blade.

Paragon of the Blade (+5M, +2D, +2I, +12C, +120 to melee combat rolls) -Arbitrator Jane Oakheart has honed her talents with the blade against everything that the rogue psykers of Avernus can throw at her, and the daemons that they often summon as well as some of the most deadly wildlife that Avernus can produce.

Mentor (+3L, +3D, +2C, +20 to melee related rolls +20 to rolls to teach which is doubled for blade related skills, students more likely to get useful traits)- Jane is an incredible mentor, able to bring out the best of her students, allowing a surprising number of them to reach mastery themselves.

Avernite Administrator- (+2A, +1C)- Over the last decade or so Jane's job has been mostly focused on more administrative tasks, giving her a great deal of experience in paperwork and organisational issues. This quite period has allowed her to put in a lot of dedicated combat practice and allowed her to further increase her swordsmanship, now having reached superhuman levels of skill. Jane is starting to fit the Avernite stereotype of "Admin Clark" to a high degree.
Paragon Psyker Hunter (+5M, +6I, +9P, +7C, +180 to rolls against Psykers)- Over her centuries as the leader of the Avernite Security Forces Arbitrator Jane Oakheart has hunted down and slain countless Psykers, including dozens of Alpha and Beta-levels. This experience has developed her skills at tracking and fighting against psykers to an impossible level.
Master of the Shadows (+5I, +1C, +50 to stealth)- Jane Oakheart has an understanding of shadows, both literal and metaphorical, that few can match. This manifests in combat as masterful faints, in stealth as blending in with even the smallest shadow in her recon armour and in command with knowing just how to infiltrate an area despite alert guards.
Champion of The Fens (+1M, +1I, +1D, +4P, +2C, +10 to all rolls against daemons and psykers)- During the First Daemonic Incursion all cities came under heavy attack and all cities suffered major losses. All cities but one that is,thanks to the leadership of Lieutenant-General Paulson and the heroism of Arbitrator Jane Oakheart the attackers of The Fen's failed to get past its walls, instead meeting their end on Arbitrator Oakheart's deadly blade and at the guns of the defenders.
Scarred (-2D) – As a result of nearly dying to a Chaos Psykers Warpfire Arbitrator Jane Oakheart now has a set of burn scars covering the left side of her face, neck and shoulder.
Avernus Officers Academy Valedictorian (+4M, +1A, +2L, +1C)- Jane has taken the time to attend the Avernus Officers Academy, where she did not break any records outside of combat classes, which she was excused from by virtue of having taught the instructor, but was still the top of her class.
Hero Killer (+1C, +5 to rolls in duels, +20 to reaching enemy heroes)- Jane is an expert at hunting down and killing enemy heroes, as she demonstrated to the Abomination Crusade.
Survivor of the Crimson Skies (+1P, +2C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Second Daemonic Incursion Jane has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Chrono-Displacer (+20% chance of dodging all hits, 20% chance of negating all hits, +100 to all combat rolls)- Jane has been provided with Chrono-Displacer made by First Artisan Granalf of Svartalfheim. This device allows her to move forward or backward on their personal timeline, allowing her to dodge or rewind from wounds and attack from unexpected directions. Given just how well this added maneuverability goes with her style this is a deadly addition to her arsenal.
Tested Will (+6 Piety, +30 against mental effects)- Jane Oakheart has had her will tested by countless daemons and psykers over the centuries, and so far none have found her wanting.
Witchbane (+1I, +3P, +50 to rolls vs psykers)- Over her life Jane has killed countless Psykers, many of them incredibly powerful. From what you can tell Jane has actually killed more Alpha-level Psykers then any other normal human, even taking a broad view of normal.
Broodlord Slayer (+2C, +3I, +2P, +100 to all rolls vs psykers)- Alpha Broodlords of Hive Fleet Grábakr are a terrifying combination of a combat monster able to slay heroes of the Astartes enhanced by the massive psychic might of an Alpha Psyker. In a single fortnight Jane hunted down and killed four of them, along with countless other Tyranids of worrying power.
Arbitrator Jane Oakheart was a successful Adeptus Arbites Arbitrator with an unusual talent for the sword when Inquisitor Vahn encountered her while on the hunt for a Chaos Cult. During their work together, she impressed Inquisitor Vahn enough to be conscripted by him and they then continued working together for the next two decades. In this time Arbitrator Oakheart has fought many different types of heretics and Witches as well as several daemons and has become a true master of the blade, even capable of killing a Chaos Champion in a challenge. She holds a fierce hatred of chaos in all of its forms and an even stronger sense of duty and responsibility.
She had a brief crisis of faith after the death of the Emperor, but overcame it with the help of counsel from Saint Lin, Governor Rotbart and Headmaster Ridcully.

Backer: Ordo Malleus
You got the shock of your life several years ago when you arrived on Avernus. Instead of the debt-ridden agri-world you were told you were being sent to govern, you found yourself looking down on a sprawling diabolical deathworld. There must have been one hell of a misunderstanding somewhere in the upper levels of the Administratum to get you put in charge here. You were not a fighter, and had never even seen a feral world, let alone a deathworld. Who in their right mind would put you in charge here? Unfortunately, the paperwork was genuine. You were the official governor of Avernus, and the very serious-looking soldiers gave you the impression that they would brook no desertion.
One of the few things that got you through the initial stages of your governorship was your having served as an inquisitor's favorite go-to in the administratum, and having earned a number of favours. You can barely imagine the look on her face when she received your message. "I seem to have accidentally been appointed governor of a warp-touched deathworld. Any advice or assistance you could offer would be thoroughly appreciated." She ended up sending one of her better agents to serve as your assistant and advisor, under whose subtle influence the rates of chaos-related incidents waned sharply.
No-one - not even you - could have predicted how this place would change you, and just how well you would adapt to it. Setting your not-inconsiderable skills to the task of solving the myriad logistical problems that face a deathworld colony, you rapidly began to show a real talent for commanding soldiers. You are no inspiring leader, able to rouse the men into a fervour with a speech, or lead by shining example. Nonetheless, you are excellent at assessing the capabilities of your troops, strategic planning, and know how to make best use of your military commanders. You also found you had a surprising talent for tactics and could soon command a battle as well as those who had been learning their craft from birth. According to the captain of your personal guard, a Cadian Kasrkin by the name of Jarrod Kell, your are the most innately gifted commander and soldier that he has ever met and are more capable than most of the generals that he has served under.
You wonder, sometimes, whether there is a paranoid and perplexed Lord-General out there somewhere who had been led to believe that he was being sent to one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy, trying to balance the books on the agri-world you were meant to end up on. You also wonder whether he would be sent to replace you if and when the mistake is discovered, and one day you were shocked to discover that you didn't actually want that to happen. Yes, every day IS a struggle to stay afloat against infinitely varied malefic terrors, but for the first time in your life, your duty is pure and clear: survive, safeguard as many of the souls under your command as possible, and build them into the best damn fighting force the galaxy has ever seen. The Emperor has led you to your duty in mysterious ways, but you have never been more certain that this is your purpose in life.
The Emperor has set Avernus in YOUR hands, and you will not relinquish it to anyone, not even if the gods of the Warp themselves try to take it from you.
Your duty is clear, your will is firm.
You can not fail.
You WILL not fail!

According to the captain of your personal guard, a Cadian Kasrkin by the name of Jarrod Kell, your are the most innately gifted commander and soldier that he has ever met and are more capable than most of the generals that he has served under.
You wonder, sometimes, whether there is a paranoid and perplexed Lord-General out there somewhere who had been led to believe that he was being sent to one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy, trying to balance the books on the agri-world you were meant to end up on. You also wonder whether he would be sent to replace you if and when the mistake is discovered, and one day you were shocked to discover that you didn't actually want that to happen. Yes, every day IS a struggle to stay afloat against infinitely varied malefic terrors, but for the first time in your life, your duty is pure and clear: survive, safeguard as many of the souls under your command as possible, and build them into the best damn fighting force the galaxy has ever seen. The Emperor has led you to your duty in mysterious ways, but you have never been more certain that this is your purpose in life.
The Emperor has set Avernus in YOUR hands, and you will not relinquish it to anyone, not even if the gods of the Warp themselves try to take it from you.
Your duty is clear, your will is firm.
You can not fail.
You WILL not fail!
Vizier Rosalinda Orlov
Age: 500, rejuved to 25
M: 8+1=9- Vizier Orlov lacks the talent for making on the spot life or death decisions for others required for combat command, and has a habit of freezing if she finds herself having to make them.
I:17+5=22- Vizier Orlov is good at keeping secrets and basic office intrigue, though she lacks both the experience and mindset for anything more.
A:18+13=31-Vizier Orlov spent over a century leading Avernus' Department of Construction, one of the most challenging positions in the Avernite Administratum. In this time project of all sizes were reliably finished on time and under budget.
L: 17+6=23-Vizier Orlov has a very good education within her fields and a passable one outside of it.
P: 12+4=16 -Vizier Orlov has a strong will and a level of faith in the Emperor.
D: 17+18=35-Vizier Orlov switches between being a a cheerful and highly professional Administratum Adapt and a wild and flirtatious party-girl, and gets on with those around her no matter her current persona.
C: 13+21=34- While not quite counted among Avernus' greats Vizier Orlov skill and luck has been enough to survive centuries of life on Avernus, a feat that few can claim.
(69/7+1.5=11.5)
Avernite Bi-centenarian (+6C, +2P, +1I, -2D when dealing with non-Avernites) – Having survived two centuries of life on Avernus Rosalinda has proven herself to be an expert warrior, the bearer of a strong will and very alert to danger.

Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion Rosalinda Orlov has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Survivor of the Crimson Skies (+1P, +2C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Second Daemonic Incursion Rosalinda has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Administratum Adept (-1M, +5A, -1C)- Rosalinda Orlov is a fully trained Administratum Adept who is intimately familiar with the rules of bureaucracy and is capable of managing it with the finesse that only someone who has developed a natural talent for the art can display.
Grandmaster Architect (+5L, +6A, +3D, -40% building price)- Rosalinda Orlov is an incredibly experienced and gifted architect, whose ability to consistently complete project on time and under budget has been repeatably demonstrated.
Master Rifleman (+2M, +1I, +5C, +50 to ranged combat rolls with rifles)- Rosalinda Orlov has relied on her skills with a standard issue rifle to survive centuries of life on Avernus. These already formidable skills were honed into mastery since her promotion to Vizier, and the regular contact with Avernus' greatest warriors that came with it.
Lucky (+2C, far less likely to die)- Rosalinda has had a consistent stream of good luck in life and death situations, one that has been tested and found not to be a result of latent psychic talent.
Work Hard, Party Hard, Fight Hard (+1A, -1P, +3D, +2C)- While on the job Rosalinda is hardworking and highly professional. When off the job she spends what time she can in some of Avernus' wildest nightclubs. When in battle she fights with a level of focus and dedication rarely seen even among the Helguard. When asked about it she claims she wants to live her life to the fullest and die without the regrets that she has seen in so many others at their death.
Master Dancer (+5D, +2C)- Rosalinda Orlov has always loved dancing in all of its forms, and is considered my many to be one of the best dancers that Avernus has produced. The control over her body that this has left her with has proved to be useful in combat situations.
Manipulator (+2I, +1D)- Rosalinda Orlov has developed a talent for manipulating others using her words and actions.
Trained by the Best (+2C)- After reaching her current position Vizier Rosalinda Orlov has been trained by and beside some of the greatest heroes of Avernus, which has developed her combat skills significantly.

Scholar of Humanity (+1I, +1L, +2D)- Rosalinda has studied human nature in great depth in recent years, which gives her insight into those that she is dealing with.
Rosalinda Orlov was born in the formative years of the Imperial Trust, just two years after the Emperors death to a well off Avernite family in The Fens. While she had a passion for dancing from a young age her skills in that field were not enough for her to go professional, so she sought out other fields of work. Eventually she settled on joining the Administratum, where she prospered due to her combination of good organisational skills and intelligence along with good people skills.
Eventually Rosalinda Orlov became a rising star in the Department of Architecture, where at the age of a hundred and ten she gained the attention of Prefetus Secondus Edvin Dieuwer, the Department Head. Under his mentor-ship she became a skilled architect as well as as administrator until she was eventually slated to replace him as Department Head after his promotion to Chief Administrator of Avernus. Since then she has continued to run the Avernite Department of Architecture, maintaining its reputation as one of the best run Departments of Avernus.
Rosalinda sometimes seems like she has two different personalities, though you know it is rather a talent for compartmentalization. On the job she is a strictly attired, utterly professional woman who seems to live for her job. When off-duty Rosalinda wears scandalous clothing and spends her time dancing and partying at a wide range of Avernus' wildest nightclubs and social scenes, though as she has gained in rank she has less and less time to do this. While this presents a strange dichotomy in her life it is by no means the strangest way of dealing with the stress of living on Avernus that you have seen.

Age: 112
M: 17+11=28- While not as gifted as his mother or grandfather Tormod is still an incredibly talented officer by normal standards, and has had the training to use his talents.
I:16+5=21- Tormod is relatively good at sneaking, though nowwhere nea the skill of a true professional.
A:14+8=22- Tormod has been trained in the basics at planetary level administration and is decently skilled at it at it.

D: 14+9=19- Tormod is a charming young man able to interact with almost anyone, no matter how strange.
C: 18+25=43- Tormod's combat skills are incredible for someone his age, and his luck seems to be driving him to improve them. He is no Jacob though.
(60/7+1=10)
Artifact: Primal Orb (can be used to create air and lightning based elemental effects, uses piety, has chance of backlash)- This lightning filled orb was created by the Therondy Dragon Yasssaakamativ and is filled with the power of a living thunderstorm. While Tormod is only just tapping into its powers, he is told that if his will is strong enough he will be able to channel the full power of the storm.
Artefact: Xhar-toltaric: The Lucksmith's Blade (+2C, 15 pen, causes the user to reroll rolls, takes the most extreme roll of all possible rolls unless paired with the Rebuke of fortune, causes criticals to cascade)- The Blade of the Lucksmith amplifies the effect of one Touched by the winds of fate, and can cause great tragedy or impossible fortune.
Artefact: Xhal-Tortrek: The Rebuke of Fortune (+200 to resist warp effects, +4 armour, when paired with the Lucksmith's blade has a DC35 chance to allow choosing of the most positive roll, provides a reroll on death)- Crafted from bedrock taken from the upper reaches of the caverns, this stone shield was carved by the best Kroxigor Crafters to protect one touched by fate from luck's fickle fury.
Handsome (+2D, more likely to persuade people of the opposite sex) – Tormod is a handsome young man who always attracts the eyes of women in his area, even if they do not know of his linage.
Heir of Rotbart (+5M, +3A, +1P, +1C, +1 morale for military and civilians) –Tormod has inherited a portion of the Rotbart military genius, though this portion is far smaller then that held by his mother and grandfather.
Born and Breed Avernite (+1M, +1P, +3C, less likely to die)- Like all Avernite's of his generation Tormod has been raised for war.
Fate-Touched (+1M, +3I, +2P, +2D, +5C, less likely to die, always roll 2 dice and choose the most extreme, double chance of encounter) - By the time he reached adulthood Tormod had encountered more strange situations then most Avernites ten times his age due in large part to sheer chance, or the manipulations of some unknown force.
Overly Curious (+1I, +3L, +2C, more likely to have events)- Tormod has found himself in trouble several times due to his curiosity, which often leads him into places that a more sensible person would avoid.
Tried and Tested Survivor (+5C, far less likely to die) - Tormod has managed to survive in countless situations that would be expected to kill him thoughout his life, and come out of them all alive, and more often then not intact.
Expert Swordsman (+1M, +3 Combat, +30 to melee combat rolls) – Between his training by Avernus' best swordswoman and his experience in trying to survive everything Avernus throws at him Tormod has become a formidable swordsman.
Utterly Fearless (+1M, +5P, +2C, immune to morale)- Tormod seems to be utterly fearless in the face of death and worse, something that Syr is both proud of and concerned by.
Collegia of Dis Graduate (+2M, +3A, +6L,+1 to all other stats)- Tormod has graduated from the Collegia of Dis with good marks, giving him the best education available to non-psykers outside of the Adeptus Mechancius within the Imperial Trust. Well second best, after Muspelheim, maybe third depending on Niflheim's secrets. One of the best anyway.
Survivor of the Gilded Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Third Daemonic Incursion Tormod has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Administrator (+2A)- In recent years Tormod has joined the Avernite Administratum in order to better prepare himself for ruling, an aim that seems to be working.
Tormod Rotbart was born three hundred and fifty-six years after the founding of Avernus as the eldest child of Admiral Syr Rotbart, the Heir of Governor Fredrick Rotbart of Avernus. As such he lived a life guarded by some of the greatest warriors and most advanced technologies of Avernus, and trained to rule by some of the worlds greatest minds. Despite these guards he managed to find himself in an incredible number of weird, and dangerous events due to a combination of having to much curiosity for his own good and almost unbelievable levels of luck.
While so far he has manged to survive his adventures, and even made several powerful allies because of them, Syr fears that eventually he will be slain by his luck. From what you can see Tomord is destined to be either one of Avernus' greats, or die before reaching a hundred.
Tormod is a cheerful and curious young man, who is always interested in learning more, both about the world he lives in and about the others that live within it. This interest has stoked his dream of one day becoming an explorer of Avernus, though he knows that his duty forbids him following that path until he has a adult younger sibling who can inherit the Governorship.

Freya of Vanaheim

L: 11(12)
P: 15 = 15(21)
D: 23 + 7 = 30(35)
C: 15+5=20 (+125 combat bonus)
Stunningly Beautiful (+4D, +1I, far more likely to persuade people of the opposite sex) – Freya Njorordatter is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the Nine Worlds. Men who meet her often find themselves agreeing with her just so that she will continue to smile at them.
Tainted Bloodline (-1D, -1P) – Many members of Freya's bloodline have developed psychic powers; indeed, in later life her father awoke his own Warp-born powers and became a Sanctioned Psyker and the best Diviner currently on the Nine Worlds.
Blood of the Vanir (+1M, +1D, +1C) – Freya is of the Vanir, the rulers and warrior class of Vanaheim, and as such she has some of the Vanir's martial skills and beauty.
Expert Sword Maiden (+3C, +30 to combat rolls using a sword) – Freya is a Sword Maiden, a member of a group of warrior women that many of the Aesir and Vanir ladies have joined. As such, she is a skilled swordswoman.
Settled Down (+3D, +2I, slightly more likely to persuade people of the opposite sex) – The combination of the relationship that she has forged with her husband over the last decade and her imminent motherhood have proved to be enough for Freya to bring her bad habits about fidelity and lust under control.
Freyr's Twin (+2M, +1C, knowledgeable about Naval Combat) – Freya is the twin sister of Admiral Freyr, the senior Admiral of the Nine Worlds. She has almost always been close to him and has picked up a lot of the skills needed for an admiral from him, and is supposedly one of the best Naval tacticians in the Nine Worlds.
Aspiring Theological Scholar (+1L, +1P)- Since Syr developed an interest in theology Freya has been studying many religious texts in an attempt to stay ahead of the questions that Syr asks. This has strengthened both Freya faith and her understanding of the new Imperial Truth.
Administrator (+2A) – Her time running Helheim Void Command has force Freya to further develop her administrative talents, to the point where she can now easily manage one of the larger organisations in the Avernus system.
Freya Njordordatter, the niece of Governor Olaf of Vanaheim and twin sister of Admiral Freyr, is probably the best-connected woman in the Nine Worlds as well as the most beautiful. Freya is a skilled warrior who is nearly the equal of her brother both as an Admiral and as a fighter. Her uncle has offered you her hand in marriage and she is not opposed to the union and in fact supports it. This may be enough to reduce her (legendary) tendency to have affairs with anyone who catches her interest.
She was killed by a Deaths Head Blink Spider seventy-three years after the founding of Avernus, while having dinner with her family.

Disciplined (+2M, +1A, +1P)- Admiral Sarnow is highly disciplined, and expects the same from his men.
Highly Meticulous (+4M, +5I, +5A, +4L, -1D)-Admiral Sarnow is always oncredibly meticulous in all of his actions, carefully ensuring that even minor details are as well done as possible, and then double and even triple checking. This leads to him creating plans that both cover for all possibilities and are as close to flawless as he can manage but also cause some social issues.
Master Administrator (+5A)– Admiral Sarnow is a master administrator under whose command the Avernite Fleets runs smoothly and efficiently.
Expert Raider (+1M, +2I, +10 to harassment by ships under his command) – Admiral Sarnow has spent most of his career commanding light forces and is an expert using them to their full capabilities.
Master of the Blade (+2M, +1D, +5C, +50 to melee combat rolls)- Admiral Sarnow has put in a lot of time and effort over the years to developing his swordsmanship and is a highly skilled swrodsman. However while he has developed a mastery of the blade his lack of major combat experience means that his general combat skills are merely average. For an Avernite.
Insane Cunning (+7I) - Admiral Sarnow has always been very cunning, being able to nearly instinctively avoid trouble and bypass obstacles. Over the years this has developed to the point where this talent verges on precognition. It isn't, you checked.

He seemed particularly interested in the records of conflicts with Eldar, of all varieties.
Proven Faith (+4P)- Over the years Admiral Sarnow has developed a great deal of faith in the Emperor, and in the Imperial Trust' duty towards his last commands.
Mark Sarnow came to Avernus as a Lieutenant-Commander on the Lunar Class Cruiser Iron Will, a ship with a long and storied history and a reputation for victory. He proved himself a skilled but not exceptional officer in the following decades and soon found himself in command of a Sword Class Frigate.
Commander Sarnow's ship truly proved itself in the assault on Fjol IV, where it managed to locate almost all of the Dark Eldar warships in their field of operation and managed to surprise several of them. This was the best showing of any escort in the Imperial Fleet and got Commander Sarnow promoted to Captain and given command of the Tireless a Dauntless Class Light Cruiser. Over the following decades Captain Sarnow proved himself and expert commander of light forces and when the Avernite Navy started expanding he found himself promoted to Commodore and given command over Avernus' Privateer Class Raiders. He remained in this position for over a hundred years until the third Waaagh Garkill, after which he was promoted to Vice-Admiral and given command over all of Avernus' Light Fleet elements. Shortly after that he was promoted to Admiral after the death of Admiral Parnell and the tainting of all of the naval officers his senior.
Admiral Sarnow seems to be professional disciplined man both his public life and his private life, and spends most of his time on the clock. However this hides the sheer innate talent that he has for deception of all kinds that puts even Jane to shame. As well as having tuned the naval gossip network into a pretty effective internal spy network and effortlessly winning any office politics he was the only officer above the rank of captain to have avoided being tainted by the plot of the Changer of Ways. When confronted with this he said that all of the invitations that he received that would have put him in taints way felt wrong in some way and he made excuses. When you checked you found that in the years leading up to the cults reveal he had spent most of his time one patrols and leading escort missions. In battle he makes full use of his light forces to harass the enemy and lead them int ambushes, and prefers reveling his presence with a sneak attack.
In all Admiral Sarnow is an incredibly gifted commander of light fleet elements and above average in normal fleet situations, though how well he can sue these talents in command of the heavy warships of the Avernite Navy remains to be seen.

He was enrolled in the Hydraphur Naval Academy at the age of twelve and preformed well but not exceptionally. In was in his time in the Naval Academy in which Amos Parnell developed his scholastic tendencies which have remained with him for his entire life.

Lord-Mayor of Dis (+4M, +5A, +2L, +2D, +2C)- Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has played the part of the Lord-Mayor of Dis since the founding of Avernus, and has become one of the most respected figures on Avernus in his time in that role. This experience has taught him many lessons that he would otherwise have not learned with the life of an Inquisitor.
Marcus Klovis-Ultan was born to a minor noble family on Hydraphur, the Segmentum Pacificus Fleet Headquarters. While his early life was unremarkable he came to the attention of Inquisitor Uzziel Packineau who was investigating a possible chaos cult that the young Marcus Klovis-Ultan was a member of. While the cult itself was soon proven to be just another noble gang Inquisitor Uzziel took an interest in Marcus Klovis-Ultan and took him as a Acolyte. Due to the position of his family and the location of Hydraphur Marcus Klovis-Ultan was able to keep in contact with his kin unlike most members of the Inquisition, and has kept in contact to this very day, with his personal ships officered by members of his extended family. These ties have given him an in to the often insular Imperial Navy and have proven to be highly valuable many times over his career.
For the next fifty years Marcus Klovis-Ultan served under Inquisitor Uzziel, a respected but not outstanding member of the Ordo Malleus, until he final earned his Inquisitorial Rosette. After becoming an Inquisitor in his own right Klovis-Ultan trod an unusual path, making contact with many of the factions within of the Inquisition and learning some of their philosophies before finding an irreconcilable difference and leaving. Eventually Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan decided to serve the Emperor in his own way, and set off to create a path that fits him.
While remaining a member of the Ordo Malleus, and filling all of the roles that he was expected to as a member of the Ordo Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan soon found himself in conflict with other Inquisitors more then with any of the foes of the Imperium. The Inquisitors that he found himself opposing were often veteran deamonhunters or witch hunters who had become threats to the Imperium, either via becoming what they fought or by becoming so puritanical that they caused more damage in their hunts then Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan could accept. While so far this is a common tale in the ranks of the Inquisition, one that ends with Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan's death or excommunication, at the hands of the more experienced Inquisitor. However much to everyone's surprise Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan was able to triumph over greatly more experienced Inquisitors no less then three times, using his talents, ties with the navy and in one case friendship with a Captain of the Silver Guard's Chapter to either slay or successfully denounce his rivals. Given that said rivals were centuries his senior these feats attracted much attention.
These conflicts gave Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan a strong reputation within the Inquisition, and access to a massive catch of forbidden lore that he had seized while little over a century in age. Over the next century Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan proved to be a talented and determined foe of the demonic wherever it could be found, and a highly unorthodox one. He also forged close ties with many of the armed forces of the Imperium, and was heavily involved with the war against the forces of chaos, hunting down traitors within the Guard and navy who shared military secrets and fighting the forces of Chaos on the battlefield. In this time he also delved deep into the dark lore that he had gained, and sought out many secrets himself, or claimed them from other Inquisitors that he found himself in conflict with. This was a result of his belief that one must know your foes, and your allies in order to best combat them. Between his particular path and strength of will Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan was able to avoid being corrupted by his discoveries, though what he found had a major impact on his life. Between the research of several Thorians and Istvaanians he had slain and experience of his own on the deamon world [Redacted], Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan came to the conclusion that humans exposed to the forces of the Warp could in some circumstances hold true in their faith and learn to resist corruption even when exposed to chaos. This idea is what eventually what led to the foundling of Avernus, with the aim of producing soldiers able to fight against the forces of chaos with greater efficiency and able to resist its taint.
However before that came Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan's conflict with Inquisitor Lord Voross of the Ordo Malleus, who was seeking much of the same knowledge that Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan sought on the warp. After a few, hostile meeting both Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan and Inquisitor Lord Voross ended up denouncing each other, and it was only by using every connection he had made and favor he had gathered that Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan was able to avoid being declared Excommunicate Traitoris, though unsurprisingly none were willing to stand beside him in the conflict that followed. The following decade saw Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan forced to rely on every scarp of skill he possessed and every ally he had made as Inquisitor Lord Voross focused his resources on bringing down Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan, and claiming the secrets that Klovis-Ultan had gathered. Eventually Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan was able to prove the duplicity of his foe to several prominent military figures, including Chapter Master Haraldr of the Silver Guard and Lord Admiral Drake. With the revelation that Inquisitor Lord Voross had traded valuable military secrets to the forces of chaos in exchange for lost lore, and caused several military defeats, a powerful task force was assembled to hunt down the Inquisitor, including a company of the Silver Guard and a Imperial Navy task force built around the battleship Unwavering Fury. This force soon cornered Inquisitor Lord Voross in his fortress on the Hive World of Sarcross and Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan led an Astartes task force to kill the Inquisitor Lord, and hopefully avoid an extended siege. After a hard fight Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan and his allies were victories, and found themselves in possession of much of Inquisitor Lord Voross's gathered secrets and artifacts. It was then that Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan found that despite his dealing with Chaos Inquisitor Lord Voross still considered himself to be a loyal servant of the Imperium, and that he had made the judgement that sacrificing the forces that he doomed was worth the knowledge that was gained in the trade he had made. The Inquisitional Conclave convened to investigate the matter did not agree, and posthumously declared Inquisitor Lord Voross Excommunicate Traitoris.
in the wake of this affair Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan found himself both highly respected and feared by his peers, leading to him being recognised as an Inquisitor Lord. Fifty years later Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan came across the recently conducted survey of Avernus, and saw an opportunity to put his theories about forming a force of men able to better combat the forces of chaos to test. Despite opposition from those who viewed his plans as a foolish waste of resources at best, such as Inquisitor Lord Varquez, Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan was able to arrange for the colonisation of Avernus, an initiative that has changed the galaxy.
Since the formation of the Imperial Trust Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has been one of the leading figures of the Imperial Trust's Inquisition, which he along with Inquisitor Lord Varquez and Inquisitor Yinn of the Ordo Xenos founded. One of Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan's main goals aims in the formation of the Imperial Trust's Inquisition was to avoid the circumstances which led to the formation of the many renegade Inquisitors that he had encountered over his career, without losing the independence that makes Inquisitors so effective.

Samanta Khol was born, in a tent in the settlement that was eventually named Helm's Deep but was then known as Alpha-Three, a mere thirteen days after Avernus was settled making her one of the first children born on Avernus and quite possibly the oldest still surviving, given how many children died in the first five years. During her early years she saw the deaths of pretty much every other child and saw first hand exactly how hard life was before the cities of Avernus were fully set up. It is in these years that her cold mask was formed as a way to shield her from the death that she was surrounded with.
At the age of fifteen Samanta Khol applied for the Avernite Officers Academy and was accepted despite her young age due to her brilliant scholastic records and aceing of the entry tests, both academic and physical. She was the youngest member of the Academy for her entire time there which combined with her stunted social skills and cold mask led to her remaining socially isolated, a common condition for her.
A mere nine months after graduating at the age of eighteen Samanta Khol was immediately thrown into the First Battle of Dis where she proved herself by taking command of her company after the captain and senior Lieutenants were killed. She was promoted to Capitan for her actions making her the youngest Captain in Avernite history, having reached that age while still nineteen. She continued to rise though the ranks with remarkable speed despite her totally lack of social skills due to her tactical and administrative skills as well as her personal bravery and master of the sword. At the age of twenty-four she was promoted to colonel after exemplary action fighting the Necrons at Dorthonion. In the following recruitment drive she was promoted to Brigadier and given command of a full brigade at the age of twenty-nine. She continued to rapidly rise though the ranks until reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General at the age of thirty-seven. Since then she has commanded the PDF of Avernus Spine with great skill despite the rumours that have gathered about her and her poor social skills.
In person General Samanta Khol is every bit the 'Ice Princess' that rumour paints her as, though you can see a bit of emotion behind her mask. She is incredibly confidant and always fights her battles with a level of tactical acumen that is rarely seen outside of the greatest generals, always taking into account al aspects of the terrain and forces under her command. This is only just enough to counter the fact that she has absolutely no social skills and is one of the least inspiring generals that you have met. You think that if she can develop a few more social skills and become a better leader, rather then commander, she has the potential to become one of the best genrals in the Nine Worlds

This trait combined with her beauty, skill and the effort she puts into keeping as many of her men alive as possible has earned her the nickname of "Ice Queen". Over her decades of command Marshal Khol has proven that she cares deeply about her men who are willing to follow her into the gate of hell despite the rumors that plagued her early career.
Proven Commander (+1M, +5 to morale of military forces under her command) –Over the years General Khol has proven to her people that even if she is not the warmest of commanders she is skilled enough to save many of their lives. This has given her a level of grudging support from her forces.
Avernus Officers Academy Graduate (+3M, +3A, +2L, +2P, +3C)- Marshal Khol is a graduate from the Avernus Officers Academy and therefore has a though education in military matters.
Ruthlessly Pragmatic (+1M, +1I, -1D, -5 morale to troops under her command)- During the defence of Helm's Deep General Khol led almost every soldier under her command to their deaths, with only a single regiment surviving out of the over two hundred that begun the battle. Despite this the siege was indubitable a success, with the majority of the civil an population surviving and the city remaining mostly intact. The ruthless pragmatism that it took to order her men to certain death so that more of the civilians would be able to live has left is mark on the already cold Marshal, and on her reputation.

Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion General Khol has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Scholar (+1D, +5L)- General Khol has become a respected scholar as a result of spending her free time studying a variety of subjects.
Survivor of the Crimson Skies (+1P, +2C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Second Daemonic Incursion General Khol has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Scholar of the Blade (+2L, +1C, +10 to melee rolls)- General Khol has studied records of countless forms of combat in great detail, preparing her for almost any foe.
Foe of Chaos (+2P, +10 to all rolls against chaotic foes)- General Khol has fought against the forces of the Great Enemy many times over her career, and has developed a perfectly understandable loathing for them.
Expert Strategist (+3M, +15 to rolls by troops under her overall command)- General Khol has become an expert strategist over the course of the centuries.
Survivor of the Gilded Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Third Daemonic Incursion General Khol has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Samanta Khol was born, in a tent in the settlement that was eventually named Helm's Deep but was then known as Alpha-Three, a mere thirteen days after Avernus was settled making her one of the first children born on Avernus and quite possibly the oldest still surviving, given how many children died in the first five years. During her early years she saw the deaths of pretty much every other child and saw first hand exactly how hard life was before the cities of Avernus were fully set up. It is in these years that her cold mask was formed as a way to shield her from the death that she was surrounded with.
At the age of fifteen Samanta Khol applied for the Avernite Officers Academy and was accepted despite her young age due to her brilliant scholastic records and aceing of the entry tests, both academic and physical. She was the youngest member of the Academy for her entire time there which combined with her stunted social skills and cold mask led to her remaining socially isolated, a common condition for her.
A mere nine months after graduating at the age of eighteen Samanta Khol was immediately thrown into the First Battle of Dis where she proved herself by taking command of her company after the captain and senior Lieutenants were killed. She was promoted to Capitan for her actions making her the youngest Captain in Avernite history, having reached that age while still nineteen. She continued to rise though the ranks with remarkable speed despite her totally lack of social skills due to her tactical and administrative skills as well as her personal bravery and master of the sword. At the age of twenty-four she was promoted to colonel after exemplary action fighting the Necrons at Dorthonion. In the following recruitment drive she was promoted to Brigadier and given command of a full brigade at the age of twenty-nine. She continued to rapidly rise though the ranks until reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General at the age of thirty-seven. Since then she has commanded the PDF of Avernus Spine with great skill despite the rumours that have gathered about her and her poor social skills.
In person General Samanta Khol is every bit the 'Ice Princess' that rumour paints her as, though you can see a bit of emotion behind her mask. She is incredibly confidant and always fights her battles with a level of tactical acumen that is rarely seen outside of the greatest generals, always taking into account al aspects of the terrain and forces under her command. This is only just enough to counter the fact that she has absolutely no social skills and is one of the least inspiring generals that you have met. You think that if she can develop a few more social skills and become a better leader, rather then commander, she has the potential to become one of the best genrals in the Nine Worlds

Captain Adrienne "Hawkeye" Volkiss née Maloof is a Cadian-born officer of General Drago's staff. She has been under the command of General Drago since she first enlisted fifty years ago and was assigned to the 103rd Shock Troopers, his personal regiment. Right from the start, Adrienne Maloof proved to be both a crack shot and a stealth expert. She had already earned a reputation as one of the best snipers in the 103rd when she first came to Avernus. Since then, her skill has only improved. In person, she is usually coolly professional until she gets to know you and possesses a dry sense of humor. She is rather short with a slight build and delicate features that belie the strength she has developed using her heavily-modified Long-Las for most of her life.

Tempered Ambition (+2I)
Grandmaster Bureaucrat (+12A, +4D, -1M, -1C)- Caroline has flourished since taken over as chief administrator of Avernus after Henry's death, improving her bureaucratic and administrative skills to a level well past your own.
Advanced Combat Training (+1M, +3C)- Caroline has been shown exactly how important combat skills are on Avernus several times since landing and as a result has enrolled herself into several advanced combat training courses. As a result of these courses she is at around the level of combat skill expected of a PDF Officer, which while not exceptional is still rather good.
Avernite Centenarian (+5C, +1P, -1D when dealing with non-Avernites) – Having survived a century of life on Avernus Caroline has proven herself to be both expert warrior and bearer of a strong will.
Renewed Faith (+2P): Caroline's faith has only been strengthened by the test of faith caused by the Emperor's death.
Master of Political Theory (+1I, +2A, +5L, +3D)- Caroline has developed a reputation among the Avernite academia as one of the foremost masters of political theory on Avernus. While this is primarily an academic skill it also helps her with her day to day duties as your assistant.
Machiavellian Politician (+6I)- In her time as your aide Caroline has developed a real talent for the nastier side of politics. She is highly skilled at manipulating others actions to serve her own ends and is undoubtedly one of the best politicians on Avernus.
Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved herself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion Caroline has had her faith and combat skills tested.
Not to be Overlooked (+1I, +3C)- During the First Daemonic Incursion Caroline was overlooked by several groups of cultists as not a threat. She proved herself a rue Avernite and easily dispatched these groups, taking full advantage of her reputation of having low combat skills.
Ordinate Caroline Vergil is an ambitious young bureaucrat who Henry has recommended to you. While her open ambition is off-putting, she is a highly skilled administrator and skilled in intrigue. Combined with her above-average piety, learning and martial skill, if it weren't for her ambition she would be a perfect personal assistant.
Fortunately you have managed to temper Caroline's ambition by showing her the amounts of work and the high levels of pressure that come with high rank on Avernus. She is still ambitious, but she can restrain herself enough that her ambition now serves her, not the other way around.
After a century long career, first as your aid and then as Chief Administrator of Avernus Caroline was killed in a Gnaw Worm Attack, reducing the members of the old guard even further.

Prefetus Secondus Edvin Dieuwer
Age: 280 rejuve to 30
M: 9+1=10- Chief Administrator Dieuwer is by no means a officer and should never be put in charge of soldiers, a fact that he knows perfectly well.
I: 18+3=21- His time in the Administratum has only honed Chief Administrator Dieuwer natural talents for intrigue and office politics.
A: 11+13=24- As you would expect given his position Chief Administrator Dieuwer is an expert administrator, more then able to run the bureaucracies of the Avernite Administratum which control so much about the planet.
L: 10+3=13- While highly educated in the field of architecture Chief Administrator Dieuwer has little education, formal or not outside of the field.
P: 8+6=14- While Chief Administrator Dieuwer is a believer in the God-Emperor of Mankind his faith has faltered over the years and would probably fail if tested.
D: 9+2=11- Chief Administrator Dieuwer is grouchy, abrupt and rude, and as such should never be given any diplomatic role whatsoever.
C: 18+15=33(+350)- While no master of battle Chief Administrator Dieuwer is still more then able to hold his own on Avernus, being more then a match for most Helguard Officers in a fight.

Old Guard (+2I, +1A, +2P, +3C, less likely to die of anything) - Edvin Dieuwer is the last of the senor Administratum Adepts who oversaw the original colonisation of Avernus. As such has has a proven ability to live where others have died and to not only survive but prosper on Avernus.
Skilled Commander (+2M, +1C)- Over his years on Avernus Edvin Dieuwer has often found his construction teams attacked by the Avernite wildlife and has grown skilled at leading the security teams defensive efforts.

Edvin Dieuwer was born on Terivarn, the planet which the original colonists of Elysium called home.

As the only one of the original Adeptus Administratum Department Heads to still be among the living Edvin Dieuwer is a legend in the local Administratum, and is probably the most respected member of the organisation still living.
In person he is grouchy, abrupt and a perfectionist, always demanding more of his subordinates then they think they can provide. However this has proven to be a decent leadership technique for him as it has resulted in people repeatably achieving feats that they did not tink themselves capable of. In fact given how rarely someone has failed to meet one of the deadlines that he puts down it is believed that he is actually a very good judge of character.
Edvin was slain in a Kraken attack on Storms End two hundred and thirty years after the colonisation of Avernus. He will be missed.

Jacob Oakheart is the adopted son of Arbitrator Jane Oakheart and is in effect your only nephew. He first came to his mothers attention at the age of five when he killed an Ammut Crocodile with a dagger, a feat that would be considered impressive for a fully trained adult. After being adopted he proved to be exactly the right type of son for Jane, able to not only keep up with the near torture she considers training but to enjoy it.
Jacob had an interesting childhood, as his mother alternated between having him attend some of the best schools on Avernus and either teaching him herself or having some of her friends and colleagues instruct him. This has somehow resulted in both a well adjusted young man and one with an wide range of skills and knowledge. You are still not sure why Ridcully had him learn the theoretical basics of each of the psychic disciplines however, he has no psychic talent to speak of.
After graduating Jacob attended the Psyker Hunter Academy, where he set records in a range of topics and graduated at the top of his class. He then joined the Psyker Hunters at the age of twenty-two, one of the youngest on records. Jacob quickly distinguished himself and became both the youngest Veteran Psyker Hunter on record and the youngest Psyker Hunter Sergeant on record. However he first rose above the pack at the age of thirty three when he singlehandedly killed Rob Vörös, a Beta-level Diviner/Telepath that his squad stumbled across. While this victory was mostly a result of luck it still demonstrated the sheer level of skill in combat that he has, and earned him a promotion to the rank of Elite Pysker Hunter, at under half the normal age.
However the most important events of Jacobs life happened when a Rogue Psyker teleported him into the Caverns when he was in his sixties. He was found after a patrol sent to investigate a unknown and badly injured winged insect near Dis found that it was carrying an unconscious human, which hit dropped in front of them before leaving. Upon further investigation the human was Jacob Oakheart, who while badly injured was still alive and clutching a broken blade made out of some unknown metal. It took over a month of high quality care for Jacob to recover, a result of him pushing himself well beyond his limits for an extended period. Once he awoke he told those waiting for him, pretty much the Avernite High command what had occurred in the years sine he was thrown into the caverns. This took some qualifying as while it has only been eight months since Jacob was thrown into the caverns from your point of view from his it has been a bit under two decades.
Jacob tells you that after a few months in the caverns he met Lulana, the last survivor of a Nynye Hive who was thrown threw space-time by her queen in order to escape their attackers. They quickly formed an alliance to work together to get out of the Caverns, which eventually developed into a rather close friendship. Between Jacob's incredible combat skills and Lulana's impressive psychic powers they were able to explore much of the region surrounding he in the caverns and eventually stumbled upon a village formed out of those sentience who found their way to it, both from the outside and those native to the caverns themselves. From this base the two of them spent years searching for an exist from the caverns, both by attempting to ma out as much as their could of the surrounding regions and by questioning those who may know the way. Often violently. Eventually they found a route leading though some of the most dangerous regions of the caverns that they had discovered to the domain of a being called The Radiance, one of the Great Ones of Avernus and a being able to teleport them to the upper regions of the cavers, from which hey could escape by themselves. Then Lulana left him with the first group of humans that she could find before moving on to refound her Hive, though she did promise to make contact with Jacob has soon as they had both recovered.
In his time in the Caverns Jacob pushed himself beyond his limits, becoming a warrior near a match for his mother and gaining a will second only to Saint Lin within the Imperial Trust. This will was the only thing which allowed him to survive meeting the Radiance, and what said meeting did to his soul.
In person Jacob is a friendly well adjusted young man, though he raises several alarm bells for the average Avernite. This is mostly because he is to calm and confident, and lacks the nervous twitch that almost every Avernite that reaches adulthood develops. This has actually led to him being considered a offworlder by many, at least until they see his unconsciously killing spiders. Instead many consider him an elder, as usually only the oldest and most skilled Avernites develop the natural combat readiness that he displays.

Daemon Slayer (+1C, +1P, +25 to rolls against daemons, cause terror in daemons)- Jacob has slain or banished powerful Greater Daemons of several Gods, feats that have earned him the terror of the daemons he encounters.
Champion of Avernus (+2M, +4D, +50 morale for all forces in his presence)- Jacob Oakheart the Champion of Avernus, the invincible warrior who the armies of Avernus trust to kill all but the most terrifying of foes. As such he is a figure of much awe and respect on Avernus, and among the armies of the Imperial Trust.
Survivor of the Gilded Skies (+2P, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Third Daemonic Incursion Jacob Oakheart has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Jacob Oakheart is the adopted son of Arbitrator Jane Oakheart and is in effect your only nephew. He first came to his mothers attention at the age of five when he killed an Ammut Crocodile with a dagger, a feat that would be considered impressive for a fully trained adult. After being adopted he proved to be exactly the right type of son for Jane, able to not only keep up with the near torture she considers training but to enjoy it.
Jacob had an interesting childhood, as his mother alternated between having him attend some of the best schools on Avernus and either teaching him herself or having some of her friends and colleagues instruct him. This has somehow resulted in both a well adjusted young man and one with an wide range of skills and knowledge. You are still not sure why Ridcully had him learn the theoretical basics of each of the psychic disciplines however, he has no psychic talent to speak of.
After graduating Jacob attended the Psyker Hunter Academy, where he set records in a range of topics and graduated at the top of his class. He then joined the Psyker Hunters at the age of twenty-two, one of the youngest on records. Jacob quickly distinguished himself and became both the youngest Veteran Psyker Hunter on record and the youngest Psyker Hunter Sergeant on record. However he first rose above the pack at the age of thirty three when he singlehandedly killed Rob Vörös, a Beta-level Diviner/Telepath that his squad stumbled across. While this victory was mostly a result of luck it still demonstrated the sheer level of skill in combat that he has, and earned him a promotion to the rank of Elite Pysker Hunter, at under half the normal age.
However the most important events of Jacobs life happened when a Rogue Psyker teleported him into the Caverns when he was in his sixties. He was found after a patrol sent to investigate a unknown and badly injured winged insect near Dis found that it was carrying an unconscious human, which hit dropped in front of them before leaving. Upon further investigation the human was Jacob Oakheart, who while badly injured was still alive and clutching a broken blade made out of some unknown metal. It took over a month of high quality care for Jacob to recover, a result of him pushing himself well beyond his limits for an extended period. Once he awoke he told those waiting for him, pretty much the Avernite High command what had occurred in the years sine he was thrown into the caverns. This took some qualifying as while it has only been eight months since Jacob was thrown into the caverns from your point of view from his it has been a bit under two decades.
Jacob tells you that after a few months in the caverns he met Lulana, the last survivor of a Nynye Hive who was thrown threw space-time by her queen in order to escape their attackers. They quickly formed an alliance to work together to get out of the Caverns, which eventually developed into a rather close friendship. Between Jacob's incredible combat skills and Lulana's impressive psychic powers they were able to explore much of the region surrounding he in the caverns and eventually stumbled upon a village formed out of those sentience who found their way to it, both from the outside and those native to the caverns themselves. From this base the two of them spent years searching for an exist from the caverns, both by attempting to ma out as much as their could of the surrounding regions and by questioning those who may know the way. Often violently. Eventually they found a route leading though some of the most dangerous regions of the caverns that they had discovered to the domain of a being called The Radiance, one of the Great Ones of Avernus and a being able to teleport them to the upper regions of the cavers, from which hey could escape by themselves. Then Lulana left him with the first group of humans that she could find before moving on to refound her Hive, though she did promise to make contact with Jacob has soon as they had both recovered.
In his time in the Caverns Jacob pushed himself beyond his limits, becoming a warrior near a match for his mother and gaining a will second only to Saint Lin within the Imperial Trust. This will was the only thing which allowed him to survive meeting the Radiance, and what said meeting did to his soul.
In person Jacob is a friendly well adjusted young man, though he raises several alarm bells for the average Avernite. This is mostly because he is to calm and confident, and lacks the nervous twitch that almost every Avernite that reaches adulthood develops. This has actually led to him being considered a offworlder by many, at least until they see his unconsciously killing spiders. Instead many consider him an elder, as usually only the oldest and most skilled Avernites develop the natural combat readiness that he displays.

Saint of Wisdom (+3M, +5A, +14L, +4D)- Saint Lin was sainted for his wisdom in order to act as a wise adviser to the Imperial Trust. As such his wisdom and insight is unmatched, even by the legends of the Imperial Trust.

Aura of Truth (+5I, +2A, +2P, +4D) – When Deacon Lin was sainted, he was gifted with an Aura of Truth. In his sacred presence none may doubt his words, lie or otherwise dissemble.
The Abomination's Bane (+3P, immune to all forms of Corruption, -10% Chaos Cult growth, +40 to all rolls against Abomination Cultists, +100 to all rolls against Angyls)- Saint Lin's mere existence has become a threat to the Abomination, one that an Archangyl of the First Circle has found True Death attempting to end.

His body on the other hand is incredibly weak, and if it were not for the rod made by Vulkan Saint Lin would be near incapable of moving even with the technologies had access to.

Saint (originally Sub-Deacon, then Deacon) Seamus Lin is considered one of the wisest and most pious members of the Ecclesiarchy in the sector and was dispatched to Avernus to be a calming influence on the hot-headed Deacon Aurilian, a task that he handled well until the former Deacon's death at the hands of a rogue psyker. The first impression that anyone who meet Seamus Lin gets is that this is what a priest of the God-Emperor should be like. He is not particularly physically imposing (though it looks like he knows how the wield the powerstaff he carries), but he is the most charismatic man you have ever met. He believes that the Imperial Church should focus on education and healing more then war, claiming that the Emperor tasked the protection of his people to the Imperial Guard and Adeptus Astartes and that the Church has no right to interfere with their duties.
One of the last actions of the God-Emperor before he died in the 38th year of Avernus' settlement was to bless Deacon Lin with power and knowledge, making him the Last Saint of the Emperor. His gifts to Deacon Lin include vastly increased mental faculties and physical resilience and an aura that turns Lin's already formidable personal presence into something that cannot be ignored, a holy mantle that bolsters the spirits of the faithful and strikes fear into the heart of worshippers of Chaos alike. In his presence, lies and deceit have no place and none may doubt his truthfully spoken words. Deacon Lin also received a great many revelations about the Emperor's life and history and his vision for the Imperium of Man, which he is in the process of codifying into a new holy text that shall serve as the basis for the new Imperial Faith.
Saint Lin gave his life to remove the curse from Roboute Guilliman Primarch of the Ultramarines, in what is considered to be one of the greatest achievements an Imperial Saint has ever made.

Veteran Witch Hunter (+2I, +2P, +3M,-1D, bonus against psykers)
Obsessed with Witches (+1P,+1I, -1A,-1D)
Deacon (+3P, +1A)
Witchbane (+3M +2P, bonus vs psykers)
Deacon Markus Aurilian was the protege of a respected bishop which was the only reason he had risen to the rank he had. He was undeniably pious and a decent warrior but that was all he had going for him, as he was totally straightforward, poorly educated and a bad administrator. He made an excellent exorcist or crusader but was completely out of his depth as a Deacon and knew it. Your contacts said he was sent to Avernus in the expectation that it would be far more of a desperate battle then it has proven to be under your command.
Markus Aurilian gained his hatred of witches when a unsanctioned delta level psyker lost control and burnt his entire town to the ground when he was eleven. After being proven free of taint, he immediately joined the Ecclesiarchy with the intention of being a witch hunter.
Despite his shortcomings, he developed into a reasonably competent if unimaginative Deacon during his years of tenure on Avernus, with no blight on his record. He learned much about fighting psykers on Avernus and earned his reputation as the bane of witches. He died 28 years after Avernus' founding, killing a Gamma-level psyker who had killed the rest of his force of dedicated witch hunters. No civilians or soldiers died in this fight and it was declared a miracle of the Emperor.

Tranth was assigned to join the expedition of Archmagos Explorator Sarren when it passed through Evorian when he was twenty five.

Like all good Magos Explorators, Tranth has a wide variety of skills and can handle himself in almost any situation.

These doubts grew as Archmagos Explorator Tranth was unable to report any progress during the first few years, still getting used to life on a hostile deathworld, but he eventually managed to open the ruins under Gamma-4, now known as Dorthonion. The subsequent meteoric rise of Tranth's career appears to have permanently silenced his detractors, as even his allies and supporters in the Adeptus Mechanicus are shocked at the sheer number of important discoveries and invaluable finds of ancient technology Archmagos Explorator Tranth has been excavating from Avernus' ruins, as well as his uncanny competence in completing reverse-engineering projects, some of which were thought to be impossible to solve by other experts in the field.

The fact that he survived almost a century in this position before being promoted to Magos and given a safer task says a lot about his survival skills, and luck.
Magos Biologis Vinceo Maximal is a lot more personable then either of his predecessors, able to easily communicate with normal Avernites as one of them. He is also in many ways the stereotype of an Avernite bushman, those few brave Avernites who have jobs that involve trekking far beyond the "safe" regions of Avernus. As such he is paranoid, twitchy and has a level of understanding the the Avernite Wilds and its inhabitants that few survive long enough to develop.

C: 20+ 7 = 27 (+275 combat bonus)
Fabricator-General of the Nine Worlds (+5A, +7L, +5P, +1D, +3C) – As the Fabricator-General of the Nine Worlds, Britton has been trying to both strengthen the Mechanicus and to integrate them with Imperial society. In doing this he has learnt much, both of the mysteries of the Mechanicus and of basic human nature, which he had long forgotten.
Diplomat (+2D)
Avernite Elder (+4C) – Having survived half a century of life on Avernus Fabricator-General Britton has proven himself an expert warrior.
Father of the Renaissance (+2A, +4P, +6L, +1 Mechanicus Unrest) – Fabricator-General Briton has overseen, and been the driving force behind, several major breaks from the old ways of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He has been slowly moving the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperial Trust closer to the scientists of the Dark Age of Technology, much to the dismay of a portion of his people.
Forge Master Britton was considered to be one of the better Forge Masters on Atlas, being both a master artisan and an expert administrator, despite several rumors going around that his faith was not necessarily as strong as it should be. Despite these baseless rumors he was next in line to become Forge Master at one of Atlas' main Forges when he volunteered to head to the then newly founded Forge-City of Dorthonion, located on Avernus, where several major discoveries had been made in the prior decade. This decision was made easier by his unusual skill in interacting with non-Mechanicus humans.
Fabricator-General Hawker Britton was killed pulling a large meltabomb from the core of Avernus' most ancient Titan, saving it from death at the cost of his own life. His last action will be remembered forever by those who crew the venerable Titan, which once warred on the red sand of Mars.

Adeptus Astra Telepathica
High Grandmaster Munstrum Ridcully
Honorary High Council Member
Age: 687, rejuved to 30
M: 13 + 21= 34 (+70 martial bonus)-The combination of his long military experience and his precognitive abilities makes High Grandmaster Ridcully a great general, though he is an even better military adviser.
I: 13 + 26= 39- High Grandmaster Ridcully's master of Divination and great experience make it near impossible to hide any secrets from him, with even death not being enough to avoid his postcognative efforts.
A: 10-5=5- High Grandmaster Ridcully has trouble focuses on the details of the here and now which are the base of all administration, and as such has learnt to delegate all administrative tasks in order to avoid disaster.
L: 13 + 13= 26- High Grandmaster Ridcully has learnt much about the Warp during his long life, though his education outside of this field in spotty.
P: 13+45= 58- High Grandmaster Ridcully's unbending faith and utter self-knowledge is enough to easily resist the whispers of the deep Warp, which he is constantly exposed to as a result of his skillset.
D: 8-4=4- High Grandmaster Ridcully combines few social skills with being even more strange then most psykers. As such he should never be used for anything resembling diplomacy.
C: 14 + 31= 45(+605 combat bonus)- High Grandmaster Ridcully is a nightmare to fight on the battlefield, always being one step ahead of you and impossibly accurate with both bullet and warpfire.
Power: 38+ 20= 58 (1,275*87=110,925)- Despite the fact that he was born a Delta-level Psyker High Grandmaster Ridcully has the brute psychic strength of a powerful Alpha-level Psyker, due to his steps down the Path of Ascension.
Control: 17 +45= 62- High Grandmaster Ridcully has near perfect control over his Warp powers, and is able to use them with a level of precision that is literally inhuman.
(196/9+12=34)
Greatly Developed Archetype of the Blind Seer (38 Power, -11 Control, -1A, -7D, *87 power multiplier, +5 to trait chance, increases bonus granted to others by +10, constantly sees major turning points, can re-roll an additional roll every turn)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has been a witness to multiple divine events in his time, a fact which has changed his relationship with the Warp and given him the Archetype of the Blind Seer. The Warp now moves with him, transforming him from a strong Delta-level Psyker into a powerful Alpha-level Psyker as well as giving him insight into key events happening all over the galaxy, and into how to best aid others. On the downside he is more likely to be cryptic, less likely to explain himself, if such a thing is possible, and more likely to be drawn to events of great significance. Over the years he has stepped further on this path no less then five times, gaining ever more influence in the Warp and getting ever closer to Ascension.
Paragon Control Trait: Unseen Observer (can't be detected using divination from less then Grandmaster level Diviners, it is impossible to observe or predict his divination without divine level skill or relevant paragon trait)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has near perfect control over his Warp Signature, which makes it impossible to detect him with divination for all but the most skilled of seers. When this is combined with his own divinatory abilities it makes it near impossible to predict what he will divine, or to detect his observation.
Paragon Power Trait: Sees no Barriers (can ignore psychic wards and interference below the divine level for divination, greater chance against divine level wards or interference)- High Grandmaster Ridcully's experiences have developed his sight to the level where he can easily see past any merely mortal attempts to ward him out or cloud his eyes, and is far better at getting past divine precautions then any mortal has the right to be.
Artifact: Olhixcocl's Defence (+100 vs Psychic effects, +1 armour, block first hit each round)- The small size of Olhixcocl's Defence belies its ability to halt even the greatest of attacks in its tracks, a abiity that its first wielder used to fight against the larger monsters of Avernus and that Ridcully can use to protect himself against the Greater Deamons of Chaos. For a while.
Paragon Piety Trait: Self Assurance ( never fails resistance roll when his base roll is higher then enemies, immunity to mind or soul influencing effects below Paragon, +100 to rolls to resist mind or soul influencing effects)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has seen the birth of Gods and the thrones of Chaos and remained himself. This is due to his deep knowledge of who he is, and his refusal to be changed. By anything.
Artifact: Ghosthelm of Vaul (+2 Control, invisible to daemons, +100 to resisting warp effects, halve effect of miscasts)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has been gifted with a Ghosthelm forged by a Avatar of Vaul, which renders him invisiable to deamons of all types and provides him with a great deal of protection from the dangers of the Warp.
Divination Paragon Trait: Oracle (no distance or scale penalties for divination, can use divination on Gods without opening with greatly decreased risk, increase level of diviner needed to detect or predict divinations by one tier)- High Grandmaster Ridcully sees further and looks deeper then should be possible. In his time on Avernus he has witnessed the birth of a god and followed it into the very throne room and the Dark Prince, spied on the domain of the Abomination and even divined the intentions and motivations of the Changer of Ways itself. These feats show a talent for seeing the actions of gods that is unheard of in mortals
Grandmaster Primaris Psyker (+4M, +2D, +3P, +8C, +7 Power, +10 Control)- Munstrum Ridcully is a Grandmaster Primaris Psyker, one of the greatest human psykers in history. He has a mastery of his powers that few mortals can boast of, and those few are often millennia his elder.
Paragon of Divination (+8M, +6I, +6C, +2 Power, +8 Control, +60 to Divination rolls, +15 to success chance of any re-roll always choose the highest when re-rolling, can provide one re-roll per flank in his theatre, can provide two re-rolls per turn to a battle he is involved in, always rolls twice and chooses for actions he and his unit take, can use Emperor's Tarot re-rolls in far more situations, can provide two re-roll per year, has 50% chance of re-rolling crit fails, can re-roll successes)- High Grandmaster Ridcully is one of the greatest living Seers, with only the most skilled of the Eldar Farseers and the most powerful Daemons able to match him. This skill is invaluable on every level, from the personal to grand strategy.
"Unparalleled Among Mortal Seers" (+9M, +13I, -4A, +1D, +19P, +6C, +10 Power, +22 Control, +50 to divination rolls, incredibly unlikely to be overwhelmed by psychic phenomena, +10 to major visions, major bonus to diplomacy with Eldar, major bonus to diplomacy with Warp Entreaties +5% of inner circle cultists found, +20 to all rolls against Abomination Cultists, +50 to all rolls against Angyls, +5% number of Abomination Cultists found, get one free Greater Divination action per 5 years targeted at a distance of over 1,000 LY, occasionally gain visions of events of galactic significance)- High Grandmaster Ridcully is probably the greatest humans Seer in history and the witness to more divine events then any other mortal. These events range from the the Birth of Ynead and her first fight in the Thrones room of the Dark Prince to the Halls of the Abomination and with Awakening of the Ork Gods. As such he is constantly seeing events far beyond the range of normal seers. His title as "The Oracle of Gods" is well deserved, and has spread far beyond the Imperial Trust.
Avernite Bi-centenarian (+6C, +2P, +1I, -2D when dealing with non-Avernites) – Having survived two centuries of life on Avernus Ridcully have proven himself to be an expert warrior, the bearer of a strong will and very alert to danger.
Faith Reforged (+5P, +1 Power, +3 Control) – High Grandmaster Ridcully's faith has been tested in the most severe circumstances and come out stronger than ever.
Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2P, +1C, +1 Control +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion High Grandmaster Ridcully has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Seeker of Knowledge (+2I, +10L, +1P, +2 Control)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has spent much time gathering knowledge of both the Warp and the galaxy in general.
Better then you have tried and failed (+4P, +4 Control, +100 to resisting Warp based effects, can resist all forms of warp effects, half negative effect of all Warp based effects on Ridcully before other rolls (including miscasts))- High Grandmaster Ridcully has proven himself to be incredibility gifted at dissipating Warp energies that should be able to fry him. He describes what he does as sort of like rolling with the blow in melee, and letting the power flow though him without impact. Whatever he is doing it is incredibly hard for Warp based effects of any form to take purchase on High Grandmaster Ridcully.
Battle-Forged (+3C, less likely to die) - In the Second Daemonic Incursion, High Grandmaster Ridcully found himself the prey of the Honoured Bloodthirster Kurrun Ashstriker, who was immune to almost all of his powers. This forced Ridcully to push his combat skills to a new level in order to survive, if only just.
Saviour of Isha (+5P, immunity to non divine disease and poison, +500 to resist disease and poison, +100 vs Nurgle, +80 to all healing rolls, +30 D and +200 to diplomacy rolls when dealing with Eldar, Mythological reputation with Eldar, Friendship of Isha, Friendship of the ELdar Gods, Godfather to the Child of Hate)- After the rescue of Isha High Grandmaster Ridcully has being accepted as a personal friend and savoir to Isha, and to the Eldar Pantheon as a whole. This has significantly boosted the blessing that Isha had already provided him giving him the talent of a Grandmaster Healer, and near total immunity to disease. Isha and the Child of Hate have also shown him many of the best ways to counter the force of the Lord of Decay in all of its forms.
Survivor of the Gilded Skies (+2P, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Third Daemonic Incursion High Grandmaster Ridcully has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Finder of Secrets Unknown (+4I, +3L, +2P, +2 Control, +20 to all rolls against cults, +5 to all research rolls, +10 to all divination rolls seeking secrets or other little known information)- High Grandmaster Ridcully is unmatched when it comes to finding out secrets of all types. This ranges from locating hidden chaos cults to the secrets of the Warp or even the unknown truth behind the Emperor's birth.
Adviser of Heroes (+2 Control, +25 to fateweaving rolls, increases bonus granted to others by +10)- As the Blind Seer High Grandmaster Ridcully is best when he is assisting heroes in their work rather then acting in his own right. This assistance can range from the slightest of nudges to the most obvious enchantments.
Headmaster Munstrum Ridcully was one of the greatest Primaris to have come out of the Lancre Scholastia Psykana. His talent for offensively using his precognition to a level rarely seen outside of the Eldar led to him being considered one of the most useful Primaris Psykers of the Imperium for many years. Through decades of combat his power grew from above average for a Delta-level to a high Gamma-level, a growth that was matched by an increase in his control over his powers which, while not perfect, is still very good. Ridcully was assigned to Avernus to run the Scholastia Psykana in the hopes that he would be able to pass on his talents to the psykers that have been emerging on Avernus.
Headmaster Ridcully had a brief crisis of faith after the death of the Emperor, but overcame it and strengthened his faith in the process.

Headmaster Munstrum Ridcully was one of the greatest Primaris to have come out of the Lancre Scholastia Psykana. His talent for offensively using his precognition to a level rarely seen outside of the Eldar led to him being considered one of the most useful Primaris Psykers of the Imperium for many years. Through decades of combat his power grew from above average for a Delta-level to a high Gamma-level, a growth that was matched by an increase in his control over his powers which, while not perfect, is still very good. Ridcully was assigned to Avernus to run the Scholastia Psykana in the hopes that he would be able to pass on his talents to the psykers that have been emerging on Avernus.
Headmaster Ridcully had a brief crisis of faith after the death of the Emperor, but overcame it and strengthened his faith in the process.

Gerald Xavier was one of the first people born on Avernus and in the nine years of his life manifested the most powerful psychic talents yet found in an Avernite. He was evaluated to be both on the upper bounds of being a Beta-level Psyker and totally sane, a near unheard-of combination. The next fifteen years he trained to be a Battle Psyker and proved to have a great aptitude for combat and stealth. In fact, even without his psychic powers Gerald Xavier is one of the most deadly warriors and best infiltrators on Avernus.
In his eighteenth year of life, trainee Gerald Xavier was deployed with a pair of Primaris teachers to fight the advancing Necron Hordes. The Catachan 813th "Phase-Tigers" were assigned to escort him and managed to maneuver him into position for some truly devastating attacks, including sneaking him through the front lines of the Necron force and under the Monoliths. Xavier got on very well with the Phase-Tigers and has kept in contact ever since. During this period, Xavier met two individuals that would go on to have a massive impact on his life: Governor Fredrick Rotbart, who became something of a mentor to him; and the Phase-Tiger cub who would grow up to become his familiar Mittens. Xavier was the first of those who took an orphaned Phase-Tiger after the battle to tame it and has formed a tight bond with Mittens.
After becoming a Sanctioned Psyker, Gerald Xavier immediately went into training as a Battle Psyker and later as a Primaris Psyker. During this time, he also became one of the main hunters of Chaos Psykers and is responsible for the deaths of many of the more powerful rogue psykers of Avernus, including the still unidentified Beta-level who burnt much of the Fair Isle before having his own flames turned against him.
Since becoming a Primaris Psyker, Xavier has become one of the leaders of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica on Avernus and leads the Battle Psykers.

Tamia Jameson was born thirty-five years after the founding of Avernus in the city of Salem, the same city that she made her name in decades later. As a child she was quickly found to be a musical prodigy, able to play several instruments and sing difficult songs by the age of six. She was six when her life changed due to a visiting Witch Sniffer detecting a massive amount of psychic power within her at one of her recitals. She was quickly tested and found to be a Beta-level Psyker, one of the most powerful psykers born on Avernus.
For the next to decades Tamia Jameson lived in the Unseen University where she struggled to master her powers, despite developing one of the deepest understandings of the Warp on the planet. As her trials approached Tamia feared that she would fail to get enough control to pass, or even survive. This changed when she met the man whose existence had always dominated her mind. Priamris Psyker Gerald Xavier, the most powerful Avernite Psyker and one that she had always been compared to due to the fact that they were the only two Beta-level Pyromancer/Daemonologists that Avernus had ever produced. It was thanks to his tutelage that she passed the trails by a massive success and became one of the greatest psykers of Avernus.
For the next two decades Priamris Tamia Jameson continued her life as one of the most powerful psykers of Avernus, though always overshadowed by Priamris Xavier. This cahnged during the First Daemonic Incursion, where she not only pushed herself well past her limits but she managed to develop a new style of psychic powers, songweaving which suited her. Using songweaving and her mastery of the Siren Song Priamris Jameson was able to be a major asset against both daemons and cults, becoming known as the Desert Witch and the Hero of Salem. In the aftermath of the Incursion Priamris Jameson was put back under the mentor ship of Priamris Xavier, who as well as helping prepare her for promotion taught her much about dealing with cults. At the age of fifty-eight Priamris Tamia Jameson was promoted to Heroic Psyker, and counted among the great psykers of the Imperial Trust.

Master of Biomancy (+2C, +5 Control, -2 Power, +50 to all Biomancy Rolls)- Constanzo Nezi is considered to be the best biomancer that Avernus has been able to produce, being capable of boosting the capabilities of entire regiments at a time.

Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan spent a year investigating the Master of the Midgard Officer of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Constanzo Nezi. He found that while Master Nezi has made only moderate increases in his psychic skills his experience on Midgard has greatly developed his leadership abilities, both in war and in peace.

Age: 476
Martial: 14+7=21- Mittens is highly skilled at leading small group in infiltration and combat, though this does not translate to anything much above platoon sized.
Intrigue: 15+37=52- While Mittens has no talent for spy games, or understanding of them he is both surprisingly skilled at reading humans an unsurprisingly talented at stealth. In fact when it comes to sheer stealth the only person in the Imperial Trust who could possibly match Mittens is Commissar Sepet of the Phase-Tigers.
Administration: 4+1=5 - Mittens has little understanding of bureaucracy or how to operate it, though he has turned in filled out requisitions forms in the past as a prank.
Learning: 9+8=17- Mittens is surprisingly well educated due to his habit of attending the odd class at the Unseen University, though Xavier is still not sure when he learned to read and write.
Piety: 11+23=34- Like many natives of Avernus Mittens has a strong will and an incredible resistance to the lure of Chaos.
Diplomacy: 10+7=17- Mittens is surprisingly good at dealing with humans given his species and the tendency that people have of viewing him as just an animal. Though he often takes advantage of said tendency.
Combat: 16+33=49- Mittens is a terror in a fight, able to bypass almost any defense and attack from any angle.
Psychic Power: 5+20=25 (150*9.2=1,380)- Despite the fact that most Phase-Tigers are on the weak end of minor Psykers Mittens age and connectionto Xavier has boosted his powers to the lower bounds of Gamma-level.
Control: 11+23=33- Mittens has an very high level of control over his power, though by no means unmatched.
Phase-Tiger (+10I, +10P, +8C, -4A, -2L, roll all stats on two less dice, Power 5, *0.2 power multiplier, can use Phasing only, can not fail basic Phasing rolls, +100 to all stealth rolls, resistant to Chaos) - Mittens is a Phase-Tiger, a five meter long big cat they weighs almost a ton and has the ability to Phase at will.
"Xavier" Human Servant (roll all stats on one more dice, +9 power multiplier, +3M, +4I, +2A, +2L, +2P, +1D, +4C, +7 Power, +4 Control, can mind link with Xavier, can power link with Xavier)- Mittens has been the familiar of Primaris Xavier since Xavier was a teen and Mittens a cub, though for those who know them the power relationship between the two is not so simple. He shares an incredible bond with his human, which in part explains why he is far more intelligent then any Phase-Tiger has a right to be, and far more powerful.
Phase-Tiger Ancestor (+10I, +8C, +5P, +5 Control, +3 all other stats, +100 to all stealth rolls, can not fail partial Phasing tests)- Mittens is around two centuries old, four times the maximum life expectancy of his species. This has allowed him to develop his innate gifts to an unheard of level.
Intrigue Paragon Trait: Coming Out of the Goddamn Walls (triple stealth bonus for Phasing, triple ambush damage)- Mittens' skill at using his Phasing to hide is unmatched, as is his talent for making the best out of the ambush opportunities that this allows him. In the right terrain you would not be surprised if he could sneak up on an alert Honoured Greater Daemon, and possible kill it with an ambush.
University Cat (+5L, +3D, +1 P, +1 Power, +2 Control, minimal level is all psychic disciplines) - Mittens has lived at the Unseen University since it was founded. In this time he has attended a massive range of classes, which has given him a surprisingly varied education. The few times he has turned in assignments has greatly shocked the lecturers, and is considered a major compliment among the staff.
"The Ash Cat" (+1M, +6I, +5C, +2 Power, +1 Control)- Mittens was present for all of Xaiver's legendary feats, from the destruction of Manavik and the duel with the Angel of Betrayal onwards. These experiences have helped shape him into one of the most deadly hunters on Avernus.
Microphasing (+6C, +4 Control, can microphase)- Mittens is the inventor and only known user of the technique he calls mircophasing, which involves phasing all of his body out by a lattice of nanoscopic blades. This is utterly deadly and has been known to reduce even armored enemies into goo.
Phased Blinking (+2I, +1C, +2 Control)- Mittens is able to blink while Phased, a feat that requires enormous control and provides several new options in terms of stealth and combat.
Skilled Pyromancer (+2 Power, -1 Control, +20 to all Pyromancy rolls, can use more powerful Pyromancy)- Mittens is a skilled Pyromancer, and often enhances his blows with fire in combat.
Grandmaster Daemonologist (+3P, +5 Power, +5 Control, +80 to all Daemonology rolls, can use more powerful Daemonology effects)- Between his innate skill with the discipline and centuries of experience Mittens has pushed his skill with Daemonology beyond mere mastery. It seems that the best Daemonologist in the Adeptus Astra Telepathica is a cat.
Mischievous (+2I)- Mittens is mischievous by nature and often pulls tricks on those around him.
Wraithwalker (+3I, +2P, +1C, +25 to all stealth rolls vs psykers and daemons) - In the Second Daemonic Incursion Mittens, Grandmaster Xavier, and the Phase-Tigers killed countless daemons via stealth, learning how to hide even from the Warp touched eyes of daemons and earning the title of the Wraithwalkers.
Mittens was found as a cub by the then fifteen year old Xavier in the aftermath of the Necron Invasion. It is assumed that his mother died like many other Phase-Tigers in their conflict with the Necron Wraiths. Mittens was adopted by Xavier and a strong familer bond soon formed between the two.
Ever since then wherever Xavier is you can be sure Mittens is nearby, excluding the periods in Ophelia's youth where Mittens would remain with her whenever Xavier was called away by his duties. This has led to Mittens being in the middle of many of the most dangerous fights in the history of the Imperial Trust, where his stealth capabilities and combat skills have often proved to be invaluable.
When not on the field of battle or hunting down Heratics and Psykers Xaver is mostly at either the Unseen University or the City of Glass, and therefore so is Mittens. When Xavier is at work Mittens often wanders the area, and has often wandered into training sessions and stayed awhile. No one took any notice o this for many years until the first time that Mittens demonstrated that he was able to use pyromancy, an ability believed to be well outside of a Phase-Tigers range. Since then his psychic abilities have only increased, to the point where Mittens can now match a Veteran Primaris Psyker. This demonstrated that Mittens had been growing ever more intelligent and powerful over time, to he is now just as smart in his own way as a human of his age.
Mittens mostly behaves as a friendly if large house cat with a habit of ignoring the rules, whether they are of etiquette, common sense or ever of reality. However when necessary this changes utterly, and he demonstrates a level of focus and self-control that few humans can dream to match.

The dice gods love you. I found stats by rolling 4d6 and choosing the highest 3 and my first roll, which was for martial was 4 sixes, I decided that the roll was so good I would give you 18 +d6 base martial and promptly rolled another 6. The character description is copied from Skewfied with one small change to represent your martial roll.
