Introduction
Year 45,411
Four Hundred and seventy-five years since the Founding of Avernus
One thousand, four hundred and eleven years since the Death of the Emperor

You are Frederick Rotbart, first Governor of Avernus and you are taking a moment to reminisce before the next meeting begins. It is approaching five hundred years since an administrative mess up led to you being tasked with leading the colonisation of the Deathworld of Avernus, and both you and your people have changed immeasurably since then, as has the galaxy as a whole.

Before coming to Avernus you were a well respected member of the Administratum who had been gifted planetary governorship of a debt-ridden agri-world. However, due to a paperwork mess up confusing you with General Frederick Rutbart you ended up instead tasked to lead the colonisation efforts for the most dangerous Deathworld known to the Imperium, Avernus. On Avernus you were found to have an incredibly high natural talent for military command, talent that now that you have developed counts you as among the greatest generals that humanity has ever produced. Over the centuries you have honed your military talents and combat skills to a high level, and can now barely remember the Administratum Adept who had never seen a fight that you once where. These days you are Governor Rotbart the Great, one of the leading figures in the politics and military of the Imperial Trust and a warrior that few can match.

On a more personal level, since coming to Avernus you have lost Henry, your apprentice and first adopted son. You have also married and watched as your beloved wife Freya, your daughter Syr, your son-in-law Sigmund, and your grandson Tormod died to a mix of enemy attack and the dangers of Avernus. You also picked up a new sister, Jane Oakheart, and adopted a second son, Gerald Xavier, who has himself married Tamia Jameson and has three daughters, the eldest of whom is adopted. You have also made many great friends, some of whom still live but many have been claimed by the dangers of Avernus or fallen in one of the many wars you have fought. Or even in a few cases died of old age.

The humans of Avernus have grown from a few hundred million Imperial colonists to a civilisation of tens of billions of the best human soldiers that you have ever heard of. These soldiers are constantly tested fighting against the wildlife of Avernus, which is far, far more dangerous then you initially believed.

Avernus itself has been found to not just be a death world touched by the Warp, but a bioresearch lab set up by the Old Ones during the War in Heaven sixty million years ago. The planet itself is controlled by a guiding intelligence or world mind, which operates though the Great Ones, beings of incredible power that control aspects of the world. Avernus also makes use of the Guardians, species with particular tasks or role, and Weapons, completed bio-weapons that are deployed against invaders. The wildlife of Avernus is mostly psychic, highly dangerous, and far more aggressive than any natural species could afford to be. This leads to you losing tens of millions of soldiers ever years fighting in the Eternal War against the wildlife.

Avernus is also home to dozens of species of psychic xenos, almost all of which were created by the planet. Most of these species have their own unique psychic disciplines, several of which you have allied with over the years. Thankfully your people are far less xenophobic than the Imperium that you were once members of. By far the most dangerous of these species are the Lizardmen, the firstborn children of the Old Ones who still have a presence on Avernus. While they lack any Slann to lead them or create their greatest technologies, the Lizardmen are still the servants of the Old Ones, and are far more dangerous than their seemingly primitive nature indicates. Recent events will allow for some of the dead Slann to return, which will allow the Lizardmen to reclaim their old glories.

The first of your councillors to arrive is General Samantha Khol, the commander of the Avernite Army and one of the first people born on Avernus. She is a calm and collected officer, hardened by centuries of unending war against the wildlife and a handful of massive campaigns. The Avernite army is split into four main groups and is one of the most powerful groups on Avernus by any metric.
-First is the militia, which includes the entirely of the adult population able to fight that is not a member of another branch. Like most militias in the Imperial Trust, the Avernite militia is armed little better than the Imperium's Imperial Guard and each member is expected to spend thirty-two hours a week training. For most worlds this gives them a large, decently trained military force ; when combined with the combat experience that the Avernite militia gets fighting off the wildlife and its large proportion of veterans, the Avernite militia is man for man a match for most Guard formations in the Trust. The Avernite militia is never deployed offworld, and is not quite enough to defend your heavily fortified hives against the wildlife by itself without a level of support from more elite formations. It is sufficient for most attackers however.
-The next branch of the military is the Avernite PDF, the regulars of the Avernite military. At almost seven billion strong it is by far the largest of the enlisted branches, though not the most powerful. Each member of the Avernite PDF is equipped to a high level including basic augmetics, with some even having basic power armour. As well as their militia training, members of the Avernite PDF also have six years worth of additional training and most often decades worth of combat experience. All members of the PDF are given juve-nat treatments after two decades of service, a qualification that over two thirds of the PDF possess. This allows your PDF to have an average age in the sixties without suffering from decreased performance due to age. The Avernite PDF is considered to be one of the better trained elite formations in the Imperial Trust, though its equipment is below average for that level.
-Then there are the Avernite Helltroopers, Avernus' veteran force. The Avernite Helltroopers are all highly skilled veterans over a century old and are equipped with effective augmetics, basic power armour, and pulse or volkite weapons as standard. Between this equipment and numbering almost three billion men in total, the Avernite Helltroopers are by far the most powerful of the branches of the Avernite military, and are possibly the most powerful military force in the Imperial Trust.
-Finally there are the Avernite Helguard, your elite forces. The Avernite Helgaurd are possibly the most skilled large scale human military formation in the galaxy, with each member being picked from the best of the Avernite Helltroopers and then given an extensive training program to bring them up to the required level for the Helguard. The Helgaurd average almost two hundred years old, giving them a level of combat experience that even Astartes must respect which when combined with their Neutron Rifles and mix of basic and advanced power armour creates a force that even the Traitor Legions need to acknowledge. Currently the Avernite Helguard numbers at bit over half a billion, a large number for a formation that good.
-While the Helguard are your elite branch, there are some formations within the Helguard that stand head and shoulders above the rest, such as the impossibly skilled veterans of the Catachan 813th 'Phase-Tigers', the deathseekers of the Black Irons, and the bodyguards of the Lifeguard Regiments.

Next is Admiral Mark Sarnow, the naval officer who commands Avernus' fleet and orbital infrastructure. He is one of the last remaining Imperial era naval officers left and is an expert on stealth and sneak attacks. The Avernite fleet is a moderately powerful force built around the Einherjar Class Command Battleship Fólkvangr made up of a mix of light harassment forces and heavy assault ships. Avernus itself has a strong set of orbital defences, but the majority of the in-system defences are around Deiphobe, one of the moons of the gas giant Cumea, which has your shipyards in orbit above it. The shipyards of Avernus are of moderate size, able to build and maintain a decent size fleet but not anything like the size of Midgard's shipyards, let alone Vanaheim's.

The third councillor to arrive is Martinus Argall, the sixth Chief Administrator of Avernus. He is the most recent addition to your council and is still settling in. Under him are the leaders of the eight regions of Avernus, which between them contain dozens of hives and tens of billions of citizens. Each Hive of Avernus is highly fortified, combining layers of fortifications with countless kill zones and a layout designed for city-fighting. Additionally, you have put to use several of the more dangerous flora of Avernus to help defend your cities, being able to unleash Carniflowers to rampage though attackers' ranks even as carefully adjusted Illusion Pines disguise the details of your Hives, ensuring that the enemy never has good information. Between your hives defences and the nature of Avernus few forces can successfully assault you, something that will be put to the test in coming years. Despite being the newest of your councillors, Chief Administrator Argall has one of the hardest jobs: keeping your budget in the black.

Next to arrive is Rosalinda, your Grand Vizier who is currently fully professional rather then the party girl she is when off duty. She is filling in for your Chief Diplomat, a post that is currently empty after Lord Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan's death by old age of all things. Your diplomatic office is playing an ever more important role these days, coordinating things not only with other members of the Imperial Trust but also with your various native allies on Avernus, with the Quartok, your Xenos Protectorate, and with the Empire of Ashes.

The fifth to arrive in Jane Oakheart, your adopted sister and the most deadly swordswoman and psyker hunter you have ever seen. While she maintains the lowly title of Chief Arbitrator, Jane is the leader of Avernus' many internal security and law enforcement organisations. This includes the vital anti-cult and psyker hunting organisations, who deal with the massive chaos cults that appear in the wake of Daemonic Incursions and with the constant stream of high level Rogue Psykers that are constantly causing trouble. The latter task in particular is near impossible, and it is a credit to Jane's personal skill and leadership abilities that even Alpha Psykers are often dealt with without extreme casualties.

The next group to arrive are the Adeptus Mechanicus representatives. While not under your control they are based in your system and have worked closely with you since they arrived shortly after the founding of Avernus. While the Mechanicus population on Avernus itself is not massive, there are several major forge hives on the Moons of Cumea, with their combined population significantly outnumbering the humans that live on Avernus.
First is Fabricator-General Marian Scott, leader of the Imperial Trust's Adeptus Mechanicus and the leader who forced though an extensive set of reforms on the Adeptus Mechanicus in order to adapt to the changing galaxy. Under her direction the Adeptus Mechanicus has become far more accepting of innovation, has started to openly use xenotech of known providence, and has even relaxed some of the limitations on what lay people can do.
Then comes Archmagos Veneratus Extremis Explorator Tranth the greatest mind that the Mechanicus has ever seen. Archmagos Tranth's genius and clear thoughts have allowed him to make breakthrough after breakthrough in his research, rediscovering entire fields of study and pushing knowledge ever further. It is no exaggeration to claim that with sufficient time Archmagos Tranth would be able to recreate the wonders of the Dark Age of Technology, and then push even further beyond that. You doubt that he will get enough time.
The third and final Mechanicus representative is Archmagos Biologis Vinceo Maximal, who has been leading the examination of Avernus' wildlife since his predecessor died over three centuries ago. Archmagos Biologis Maximal has become one of the greatest living experts on psychic genetics, a field of study that has been known to drive well respected Magos mad with its innate contradictions in the past.

After the Mechanicus arrive there is a pause before the next arrivals, and you take the time to ponder one of your wisest councillors who will never more grace you with his presence. Saint Lin was the wisest and kindest person you have ever met, and the galaxy is worse off with his absence, even if he managed to mostly cure Roboute Guilliman with his final act. You still have his legacy however, both in the words of wisdom that he left behind and in the New Imperial Creed and Church that he founded. The New Creed focuses more on human exceptionalism and unity than on human supremacy and control and is by far a more gentle and caring religion. This is reflected in the current church, which is focused more on pastoral care than on gaining and wielding power.

Last to arrive are the leaders of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, who like the Adeptus Mechanicus are not under your control as they lead trust wide organisations. Given the sheer number of powerful Psykers found among the population of Avernus the Adeptus Astra Telepathica is based on Avernus, with the majority of its leadership being from the planet.
Leading the way is High Grandmaster Ridcully, the Bind Seer. Despite having his sight burned out by what he has seen High Grandmaster Ridcully is possibly the greatest seer that humanity has ever produced. Most recently he guided a group of the most powerful heroes of the world to rescue Isha, the Eldar mother goddess, from her captivity in the Blighted Mansion itself, and as they fled deployed Exterminatus weaponry on Cadia, the capital of the Black Imperium itself. While this has earned Ridcully, and by extension the entire Imperial Trust, a great deal of favour with the Eldar Empire of Ashes, it has also brought you to the attention of Abbadon the Despoiler, and earned the eternal enmity of the Lord of Decay. According to both Ridcully's visions and his contact among the Eldar neither force is in a position to attack you for the next decade or two, but after that an attack becomes far more likely.
The next to enter is the Grandmaster of the Department of War, Gerald Xavier, your adopted son. While intelligent and a good leader, Xavier's true strength is his ability to combine his stealth skills, his combat ability, and his powers into a single flawless whole. This makes Xavier one of the Imperial Trust's most deadly combatants, and a near unmatched saboteur.
Just behind Xavier comes his wife Tamia Jameson, the Grandmaster of the Central Department. Her classical beauty and ditzy personality hide one of the greatest minds that you have ever met. Under her entire new psychic disciplines have been recreated from the wildlife, and massive amounts of progress have been made on improving the Adeptus Telepathica's understanding of the Warp.
The final member of your council to arrive is Grandmaster Aria of the Regional Department, one of the best psychic duellists alive due to her psyker/blank chimeric nature and living proof that you do not understand Psykers or blanks well. She should be impossible.

Tomorrow you will be leaving Avernus along with Fabricator-General Scott and High Grandmaster Ridcully to participate in the first High Council Meeting since the merger between the Imperial Trust and Dragon's Nest, but for now you have work to do.

The Governor's Office

Frederick Rotbart, First Governor of Avernus
High Council Member
Age:562, rejuved to 20
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Gallium III (civilised world)
Fame: 267- Your name is well-known throughout the Imperial Trust, and is not unknown in the wider galaxy. After your showing in the Grand Incursion the daemons of Chaos in particular are likely to know your name.
Prestige: 117- You are respected as a highly-skilled governor but mostly as an incredible general who played a key part in the humiliation of the Daemon Primarch Perturabo and the capture of the Phalanx.
Standing (Avernus): 110- Your standing on Avernus is good enough that even without your titles you could rule Avernus by degree based on your reputation alone.
Standing (Peoples of Avernus): 70-The defence that you commanded during the Grand Incursion held against everything that the forces of Chaos sent at it, and despite being a secondary front has given you a strong reputation as a leader and general among the peoples of Avernus.
Standing (Imperial Trust): 69- You are a respected member of the Imperial Trust High Council and Executive Councils who despite a few issues knowns when to put the Trust first.

Martial: 26 + 34 = 60(55) (+245 martial bonus)- You combine a level of innate military genius bordering on the superhuman with over a century of experience commanding the forces of Avernus. This results in you being at least a master of every form of military command, with few equals in space and none on the ground.
Intrigue: 20+ 10 = 30(35)- While you are no better at stealth than any other elite soldier you have always had a talent as a spymaster, and are one of the reasons that Avernus' counter-intelligence and anti-cult networks are some of the best in the Imperial Trust.
Administration: 18 + 28 = 38(49- While it is no longer your best skill you still remain an administrator at heart, and have found that even the special administrative difficulties that Avernus inflicts on its settlers to be no problem.
Learning: 12 +11= 23(28)- While you have received a good education and are well-read you are by no means a great scholar.
Will: 15 +28= 43(44)- Your already strong will has only been strengthened into adamant by the trials that you have faced during your time on Avernus, and the faith that your friendship with Saint Lin has helped grow.
Diplomacy: 14 + 16 = 29(36) (-2 with non-Avernites)- Thanks to the efforts of Freya and experience you have reached the point where you can conduct even high-level diplomacy with skill.
Combat: 14 + 36= 50 (+1,005 combat bonus)- While you are not as gifted a warrior as you are a general you are still one of the greatest human warriors alive, being able to meet with Adeptus Astartes Heroes, Ork Warlords and other similar foes on equal footing.
(137/7+7.5=27.5)
Background: Administratum (-4M, -1I, +6A, -2C)

Hero's Luck (+3C, more likely to get in dangerous situations, bonus to combat rolls in bad situations)
Artefact: The Unbreakable Wall (+100 to resist Warp effects, +7 Armour, double HP)- This large shield has withstood forces of incredible power remained untouched, though its protection against the forces of the Warp are minor.
Artefact: Black Crystal Ring (large resistance to Warp based effects on your body)- The Black Crystal Ring that you use as a signet has been found to provide a large amount of resistance against Warp based effects on your body.
Artefact: Black Crystal Crown (large resistance to Warp based effects on your mind)- The Black Crystal Crown that you wear has been found to provide a large amount of resistance against Warp based effects on your mind.
Paragon Martial Trait: n steps ahead - (does not have to specify number or composition of forces until they either are identified or engage in combat, only works on a planetary level)- Governor Rotbart is a master reading the flow of a war and determining what will happen well in advance. As a result of this he is always able to position his forces to maximum effect, often taking advantage an an enemies actions before the opposing general knows what he will do.
Paragon Combat Trait: Small Unit Tactics (Double the effect of command bonuses on Governor's Own, triple it on Rotbart) - You have led the Governor's Own against overwhelming odds many times and come out with them mostly intact. This is in large part due to having learned to apply your understanding of war to smaller formations then the grand armies that you mostly command.

First Governor of Avernus (+2M, +1I, +2A, +3D, +3W, +3C, +3 all morale, -25% cultist numbers, +20 morale when you are in command, -25% chance of being assassinated)- As the First Governor of Avernus you are responsible for turning a doomed expedition to a lethal deathworld into one of the most powerful worlds in the Imperial Trust. As well as developing your skills and reputation you have earned the utter loyalty of the people of Avernus.
Legendary General of the Imperial Trust (+27M, +2I, -1A, +11C,+1M against Space Marines, +3M when defending, +50 military morale for all forces under your overall command, +25 to all combat rolls against enemy heroes, +50 to rolls by forces under your overall command)- Over the centuries since your arrival on Avernus you have developed your skill at war to a level that no human in history has ever approached. Your skills shine particularly brightly when on the defensive, as is shown by your countless victories.
"The Great"-(+5I, +9L, +10W, +7D, +3 to all other stats, +1 to all morales, -10% cult formation, +10 morale to all forces under his command)- In recent years Governor Fredrick Rotbart ha been called Rotbart the Great by both his own people and by the rest of the Imperial Trust. This is in recognition of his management of Avernus, as it has grown from a small colony to one of the major powers in the Imperial Trust in a short time despite several major invasions. To make matters even more impressive it has managed to become one of the better places to live in, despite the ever present threat of the wildlife.

Avernite Bi-centenarian (+6C, +2W, +1I, -2D when dealing with non-Avernites) – Having survived two centuries of life on Avernus you have proven yourself to be an expert warrior, the bearer of a strong will and very alert to danger.
Grandmaster Swordsman (+3M, +2D, +1W, +8C, +80 to melee combat rolls)- Between your training by Jane and your experience fighting against some of the most deadly foes that the galaxy can throw against you, you have have developed your skills with a blade beyond mere mastery.
Master Avernite Administrator (+5A, +1C) - In your time on Avernus you have developed both your administrative skills and combat capabilities to ever increasing levels. You have continued to developed your administrative skills ever higher even as your combat skills start to plateau.
Admiral and General (can use personal attention for Void actions, can command naval battles with full Martial, gain half effects of ground command traits in the void (rounding up))- While you lack the sheer wealth of experience that you have on the ground, you are still a incredibly experienced admiral, and have learned how to apply much of what you learned as a general to the void.
A Ruthless Reputation (+1I, -2D, -1 Civilian Morale, -1 to relations with all newly met worlds, -2 relations with all newly met human worlds)- You have gained a reputation of being willing to do anything for victory, whether it is destroying your own cities or even feeding human souls to xenos for knowledge.
Skilled Duelist (+1C, +15 to all rolls in duels) - You have developed into a skilled duellist over the centuries, able to cross blades with all manner of champion and triumph.
Visionary Diplomat (+4D)-Governor Rotbart is in large part responsible for the Grand Conclave, which is almost certainly the most influential diplomatic meeting of the millennium for the galaxy.
General of the Ynnari (+2M, +1D, +1P, +2D when dealing with Xenos)- Governor Rotbart spent a decade working under the Empire of Ashes leading forces of a range of cultures and species against varied foes. This has helped develop his abilities as a general, and his diplomatic skills, especially with xenos.
Master Defender (additional +5M when defending, +25 to the morale of force under her command when defending) - Most of your greatest battles have been fought on the defensive, and over the centuries you have developed your skills in that field to among the galaxies best.
Munitions Specialist (+2A, reduce the amount of munitions lost to anything but use by 50%)- You are an expert at making use of special ammunition, and at making sure that each ship has just enough and no more.
An Eye for Trouble (+1I, +2A)- You have a talent for spotting where something is going wrong in an organisation, which is valuable both for dealing with administrative mess-ups and more hostile actions.
Further Studies (+1A, +2L)- You have done various courses at Avernite educational institutes. Currently, these include Social Sciences and Warp for Cavers.

Daemonbane (+4W, +2C, +50 to all rolls against daemons, cause terror in daemons)- During the Siege of Dis in the First Daemonic Incursion you personally killed the Keeper of Secrets leading the attack with a single blow. While your Black Crystal Jewellery protected you from most of its powers and the Black Crystal Sword made killing it trivia ll this was still a rather impressive feat.
Survivor of the Gilded Skies (+2W, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Third Daemonic Incursion Governor Rotbart has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Survivor of the Green Skies (+2W, +5 to all rolls against daemons, +2 Prestige)- Having proved yourself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the Fourth Daemonic Incursion you has had your faith and combat skills tested.
Foe of Chaos (+1M, +1W, +1M while fighting Chaos)- Many of Governor Rotbarts greatest campaigns have been fighting against the forces of Chaos, and he has grown skilled at combating the forces of the Dark Gods.

(+1M, +11W, +2C, +1M while fighting Chaos, +70 to all rolls against daemons, cause terror in daemons, +12 Prestige, +47 Fame)- Governor Rotbart has commanded the forces of Avernus against no less than five incursions, including the Grand Incursion where his wall did not fall before the Incursion ended.

You are Frederick Rotbart, first Governor of Avernus and you are taking a moment to reminisce before the next meeting begins. It is approaching five hundred years since an administrative mess up led to you being tasked with leading the colonisation of the Deathworld of Avernus, and both you and your people have changed immeasurably since then, as has the galaxy as a whole.

Before coming to Avernus you were a well respected member of the Administratum who had been gifted planetary governorship of a debt-ridden agri-world. However, due to a paperwork mess up confusing you with General Frederick Rutbart you ended up instead tasked to lead the colonisation efforts for the most dangerous Deathworld known to the Imperium, Avernus. On Avernus you were found to have an incredibly high natural talent for military command, talent that now that you have developed counts you as among the greatest generals that humanity has ever produced. Over the centuries you have honed your military talents and combat skills to a high level, and can now barely remember the Administratum Adept who had never seen a fight that you once where. These days you are Governor Rotbart the Great, one of the leading figures in the politics and military of the Imperial Trust, a warrior that few can match and one of the best generals in the galaxy.

On a more personal level, since coming to Avernus you have lost Henry, your apprentice and first adopted son. You have also married and watched as your beloved wife Freya, your daughter Syr, your son-in-law Sigmund, and your grandson Tormod died to a mix of enemy attack and the dangers of Avernus. You also picked up a new sister, Jane Oakheart, and adopted a second son, Gerald Xavier, who has himself married Tamia Jameson and has three daughters, the eldest of whom is adopted. You have also made many great friends, some of whom still live but many have been claimed by the dangers of Avernus or fallen in one of the many wars you have fought. Or even in a few cases died of old age.

Ælfgar Korrapati, Second Vizier of Avernus
Fame: 12- Ælfgar Korrapati is well known as a military academy, and as one of the best instructors in the famed Avernus Officers Academy. He gained widespread attention however by being one of the minds behind the Avernite New Model Army.
Prestige: 69- Ælfgar Korrapati is one of the best military theorists that humanity has ever produced, and is highly respected within his field.
Standing (Avernus): 37- Ælfgar Korrapati was one of the most respected teachers at Avernus' most respected military educational institute, and has the trust of his former students, many of whom are prominent Avernites.
Standing (Imperial Trust): 12- Ælfgar Korrapati's reputation has read to the other military academies of the Imperial Trust, but not that much beyond them.

Age: 406, rejuved to 20

M: 18+10=28- Vizier Korrapati has one of the best academic understandings of war on Avernus, his military command experience tops out at a battalion level. As such he makes a far better adviser then he does a general, but is excellent in that role.
I: 13+3=16- Vizier Korrapati understands the importance of subtlety and practices basic precautions but no more.
A: 17+14=31- Vizier Korrapati's time in the Avernus Officers Academy has helped him develop a high level of administrative skills and knowledge, skills which have only improved in his time as Vizier.
L: 23+7=30- - Vizier Korrapati is a genius who is considered to be one of humanities greatest experts on the theoretical side of warfare.

This use of of the ability to move forward or backward on their personal timeline, allowing her to dodge even more attacks and rewind from even fatal 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.
Artefact: The Armour Unmarred (+14 armour, +200% HP, +50 to all rolls, +150% melee damage, +60% speed, +200 to resist psychic effects, +100 to stealth, flight, ignore first successful hit each duel)- Jane Oakheart's set of Recon Power Armour has lasted her centuries, yet seems to be utterly unmarred despite that.

Daemon Hunter (+1I, +3W, +50 to rolls vs daemons, +1 Fame, +5 Prestige)- Over her life, Jane has killed countless daemons, including monsters such as The Changling and Festirstrol Bilgefinger despite being a normal if incredibly skilled human.

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.
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.
One Sure Strike (increase critical damage by 50%)- Jane Oakheart prefers to kill her foes with a single sure strike to their vitals, no matter how tough they are.

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.

Jane Oakheart has become the most deadly swordswoman and psyker hunter in the Imperial Trust, by a massive margin. While she maintains the lowly title of Chief Arbitrator, Jane is the leader of Avernus' many internal security and law enforcement organisations. This includes the vital anti-cult and psyker hunting organisations, who deal with the massive chaos cults that appear in the wake of Daemonic Incursions and with the constant stream of high level Rogue Psykers that are constantly causing trouble. The latter task in particular is near impossible, and it is a credit to Jane's personal skill and leadership abilities that even Alpha Psykers are often dealt with without extreme casualties.

Jane has also become the oath-sister of Governor Rotbart and has adopted and raised a son, Jacob Oakheart, who is now the champion of Avernus and the one human alive who can make her sweat in a duel.

This has made him superhuman in both mind and body, able to match if not exceed an Astartes in speed and strength while having a flawless memory and being able to think with lightning speed. This process feeds the power of his soul though his body, making him all but immune to many forms of psychic attack and allowing his blows to piece defences that no purely natural attack would scratch. Well unless it was his mother doing the attacking anyway, but you re not sure whether a blow by Jane Oakheart can be called a 'natural attack'.
Genius of the Blade (+5C, +50 to melee rolls, more likely to gain swordsmanship traits)- Jacob Oakheart has a natural talent for the blade that no amount of training or experience can mimic, a talent that allowed him to kill an Ammut Crocodile with a dagger at the age of five.

Artefact: Quetzl's Ramparts (+200 to resist Warp effects, +4 Armour, triple HP)- This legendary shield has been used by countless heroes of the Saurus over the years, though the name of its first wielder has been lost to time. The protection that it provides to its wielders has few equals.

Veteran Psyker Hunter (+1M, +3I, +2L, +3W, +4C, +10 to all rolls against psykers)- Jacob Oakheart is a Veteran Psyker Hunter, trained to hunt down and kill all but the most powerful of the rogue Psykers of Avernus.

Paragon of the Oakheart Style- (+2M, +5I, +5W, +8C, +120 to all melee rolls)- Jacob Oakheart has taken the Oakheart style and made it his own, turning into an immoble wall of steel rather then the untouchable shadow that his mother is. While visually quite different his branch of the Oakheart style still draws on many of the same principles, and is recognisable a branch of the same style to those who study the sword.
An Interesting Education (+4L, +4C, +2 to all other stats)- Jacob Oakheart has had an interesting education, ranging from the normal for a member of the Avernite upper class to the strange, excessive and often crazy teachings of his mother and her colleagues.

He is credited with countless incredible feats of skill and courage. Including an ever-increasing number actually performed by his mother.

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.

Paragon Leaning Trait: The Scientist (can improve technologies based on known principles, can create entirely original designs based on known principles, +25 to all rolls to improve, create or understand technology)- Archmagos Tranth follows int eh footsteps of his Dark Age forebears in a rather different manner to most members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, choosing to imitate their methods rather then their results. When combined with Tranth sheer genius this allows him to create and improve on a bewildering range of technologies, a range that will only increase as his knowledge base expands.
Combat Paragon Trait: The Machines Beloved Father (+80 to all rolls with technology he created, +25% pen and +50% damage to weapons he designed and is using, +25% armour and +50% HP to armour and vehicles he designed and is using, can provide half boost to a single weapon, armour or vehicle for an hour after he stops focusing on it)- Archmagos Tranth can draw performance out of the technology that he created far beyond what others can. While part of this is a result of knowing exactly how far he can push the technology, most of it seems to be due to the efforts of the Machine-Spirits.
Artefact: Shield of the Old Ones (+600 to resist Warp effects, +2 Armour)- This Ancient Shield protects its wielder from the powers of the Warp, with all but the greatest of attacks fizzeling to nothing before it.

Tech-Priest (+4L, +2W, +1C, -2D, -1I, -1M)
So Close... (+5L, +5W) – Archmagos Explorator Tranth has discovered a non-functional STC constructor and has therefore come tantalisingly close to finding the Holy Grail of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Combat Analyst (+3M, +2C)- Archmagos Tranth is an expert at recording and analysing combat data, which he uses to aid his tactics as both an officer and as a combatant.

(+11M, +17C, -1D)- In his centuries on Avernus Archmagos Tranth has forged his body into one of the most powerful war machines in the Imperial Trust, and honed his mind to use both his body and any other forces under his command optimally.
'The Reclaimer' (+4L, +5 to attempts to complete STCs or reverse engineer)- Archmagos Explortor Tranth has come to be known as Tranth the Reclaimer by the Mechanicus of the Nine Worlds in recognition of both his incredible discoveries and of his success in reconstituting lost technologies.
Survivor of the Pink Skies (+2W, +1C, +5 to all rolls against daemons)- Having proved himself against the most dangerous foes in the galaxy during the First Daemonic Incursion Archmagos Tranth has had his faith and combat skills tested.
Master Optimiser (+4L, +20 to research rolls to improve on exiting technology)- Archmagos Tranth is at his best when improving on exiting technology, usually by working out its basic principles and then optimising it.
Armourer (+2L, +10 to all rolls involving power armour, +1 Armour)- Archmagos Tranth has developed a great understanding of the mechanics of power armour over the years, an understanding that serves him well in a range of projects. One of which is his constant upgrading of his own body and person armour, which you suspect leaves even the Advanced Terminator Armour that he designed for the Astartes in the dust.
Grandmaster Researcher (+2M, +2I, +6A, +9L, +25 bonus to research actions) – Archmagos Tranth is incredible when it comes to researching the mysterious of technology, and to putting said mysteries into practical use. This is a rather rare talent for the Adeptus Mechanicus, even among those that he has trained.
Expert Titansmith (+3L, +5W, +25 to all rolls involving Titans) - Archmagos Tranth is responsibly for designing some of the most deadly Titans ever made by humanity, and is still coming up with ideas on how to improve them.
Archeotech Sensors (+3I, +25 to all attempts to detect)- Archmagos Tranth has a collection of the best sensors know to mankind held within his body, and when combined with his incredibly mastery of technology few can bypass his gaze.
Clear-sighted (+3L, +3W, +1 to all stats, can think without any cognitive bias)- One of Archmagos Tranth's greatest gifts is his ability to put aside his cognitive biases and see the world as it truly is.
Battle-Calculation (+4M, +4C)- In battle, Archmagos Tranth brings to bear the same intellect that he uses in research, and his ability to understand and then solve any threat is uncanny. He has learned enough of war to extend this beyond mere combat and solve entire battles.
Warp-Tech Expert (+1L, +3W, +15 to all rolls involving Warp-Tech)- Archmagos Tranth has made major improvements to Warp Drives, Gellar Fields and Void Sheilds over his career, the three most common forms of Warp Technology in the galaxy, and as such technologies that had been perfected by the work of countless minds over the years.

Archmagos Explorator (originally Magos Explorator) Tranth was born on the minor Forge World of Evorian and proved to have a talent for the Mysteries of the Machine at a young age. As a result of this he was put into training to become a Tech-Priest, where he proved to have a thirst for knowledge suited for a Magos Explorator. Tranth was assigned to join the expedition of Archmagos Explorator Sarren when it passed through Evorian when he was twenty five. He spent the next thirty years learning under Archmagos Explorator Sarren and became his protege, until he was dispatched to investigate reports of ancient ruins on Avernus. Like all good Magos Explorators, Tranth has a wide variety of skills and can handle himself in almost any situation.

Archmagos Explorator Tranth was regarded as having something to prove, as many viewed him as too inexperienced to command such a important dig. 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.

Over the centuries since his arrival on Avernus Archmagos Veneratus Extremis Explorator Tranth has shown himself as the greatest mind that the Mechanicus has ever seen. Archmagos Tranth's genius and clear thoughts have allowed him to make breakthrough after breakthrough in his research, rediscovering entire fields of study and pushing knowledge ever further. It is no exaggeration to claim that with sufficient time Archmagos Tranth would be able to recreate the wonders of the Dark Age of Technology, and then push even further beyond that. You doubt that he will get enough time.

Nothing is Below Notice (+2I, +3A, +2L)- Archmagos Biologis Maximal understands the importance of those which are often overlooked. This leads to him being meticulously careful in all that he does, and paying attention to things that others consider below notice, a good survival trait on Avernus.

An Insight into Avernus (+8L, +2W, +50 to all rolls to involving Avernus' work)- Archmagos Biologis Maximal has spent most of his life studying the works of Avernus, undoubtedly the greatest genesmith since the War in Heaven and the death of the Old Ones, and possibly even greater than its makers.

Genius (+2 all stats)-Vinceo Maximal is a genius, naturally gifted in everything he has tuned his hand to and one of the most intelligent people you have ever met.

Superb Psychic Geneticist (+9L, +80 to all rolls when dealing with psychic creatures)- In his time on Avernus Archmagos Biologis Maximal has developed an understanding of psychic animals that goes beyond mere mastery. This understanding extends deep into the little-understood field of Psyker Genetics, which is famed for its complexity.
Psychic War Machine (+1M, +11C, -3D, can use several Avernite Psychic powers as minor psyker)- Archmagos Biologis Maximal has integrated the minds and souls of several cybernetically enslaved Avernite creatures in order to make use of their psychic powers.

Bane of Wildlife (+2C, +2W, +25 to all rolls vs beasts) - Archmagos Biologis Maximal has spent most of his life wrangling unruly wildlife so he can study it. On most worlds that would mean little for a Magos of his age, on Avernus it demonstrates a strength of both will and arms that few can match.

Archmagos Biologis Vinceo Maximal was born to a family of menials on the Forge-World of Atlas, a fate he was doomed follow to until his natural genius was discovered at the age of eight. After his genius was discovered he was immediately taken as a student by the ruling priesthood, where he was successful, tough not wildly so. He followed the path of the Mago Biologis and was a junior Genator in the service of Magos Biologis Tertiarus Saren when that worthy was sent to Avernus.

On Avernus Vinceo Maximal proved himself to be a skilled and reliable worker, soon becoming the leader of the task force that Magos Biologis Saren used to locate and examine the more interesting wildlife. 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.

Archmagos Biologis Vinceo Maximal has now been leading the Adeptus Mechanicus' study of the Avernite wildlife for over three centuries. In this time he has become one of the greatest living experts on psychic genetics, a field of study that has been known to drive well respected Magos mad with its innate contradictions in the past.

Archmagos 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.

I: 13 + 29= 42- 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.

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 eight more times, reaching the end and fully developing the Archetype.
Archetype of the Blind Seer: Guide of Heroes (all heroes under his guidance get less likely to die (5), the first time a hero under his guidance would die or suffer a catastrophic failure their roll is changed to a natural 100, can only apply once per person. Does not work on peers or superiors in age, skill or importance)- The Blind Seer is an amalgamation of many heroic mentor archetypes and is the one who guides heroes to fulfil their destiny.

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 Will 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.
Artefact: Orb of Lileath (+5 Power, +4 Control, +25 to all divinations, +25 to bypass Ka Wards, +50 to avoiding notice) — Crafted in memory of a lost friend for a human who has aided his people so much, the Orb of Lileath allows the blind seer to see ever further without detection, even when block by the greatest of Nulls.
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, +3W, +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, +19W, +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, +2W, +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.
Beyond Faith (+6W, +1 Power, +3 Control) – Once High Grandmaster Ridcully had a deep and abiding faith in the Power and Majesty of the God-Emperor. As he pushed his sight beyond mortal limits that faith has changed for Ridcully the Blind-Seer, who knows the truth of the Emperor and merely sees him for what he is.
Devoted Seeker of Knowledge (+3I, +12L, +1W, +2 Control)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has spent much time gathering knowledge of both the Warp and the galaxy in general. This has awakened in him a fascination with knowledge itself, and all the good and ill that can be done with it.
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.
Saviour of Isha (+5W, 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.
Finder of Secrets Known and Unknown (+5I, +5L, +3W, +2 Control, +20 to all rolls against cults, +10 to all research rolls, +15 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.
Seeker of Truth (+1I, +1L)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has a drive to discover the Truth, no matter what it is.
Seer of the Grand Incursion (+4W, +5C, +2 Control, +50 to all rolls against daemons, +20 to divinations meant to manipulate others, less likely to die, +2,000 Prestige, +3,000 Fame)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has survived many Daemonic Incursion, often as a secondary target. It was the Grand Incursion where he had the biggest impact though, saving the life of Russ and guiding a scheme that saw Lorgar take several Exalted and go AWOL, a scheme which is credited to have brought the Grand Incursion to a premature end.
Not Just a Seer (+2C, +1 Power)- While he is most renowned as a seer and guide of heroes, on those occasions he needs to High Grandmaster Ridcully demonstartes that he is also one of the most deadly Battle-Psykers that humanity has ever produced.
Advisor to Generals (+2M, +5 to any re-rolls provided to military rolls)- High Grandmaster Ridcully has spent much of his career providing advice for general and admirals as they wage battle, giving him a rather unusual form of military insight rare to see outside of the Farseers of the Eldar.
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.

In the years since reaching Avernus High Grandmaster Ridcully has pushed his talents for divination to the limits of mortality. First he saw the Birth of Ynnead and her attack on the Dark Prince in its very Throneroom, an sight that forever burnt out his eyes. Then he watched the Green Awakening, and saw the unmatched power of the Ork God. Later he saw hints of the Deceivers plans, and more then that of what the Void Dragon intends. More dangerous then that was his infiltration of the Blighted Mansion in order to scout out the path to Isha, reaching the very door of her room and escaping with both a scroll for the Eldar and Isha's Blessing. Probably most surprising however were the truths of the Emperor's origins that Ridcully discovered, truths that the Emperor Himself most likely did not know. Finally High Grandmaster Ridcully guided the heroes in the Heist of Isha, freeing the Eldar's Mother Goddess and destroying Cadia as they fled. As he did this Ridcully watched the attacks on the Grand Rituals, and saw the passage of history.

Ridcully is a gruff old man with no patience for manners or incompetence, and a very loose definition of incompetence that often seems to disregard others not seeing as he does. This rudeness however hides a level of understanding of others and reality that no other mortal matches, and a deep wisdom that he has cultivated over his long and eventful life.

Deamonslayer (+1M, +3W, +1C, +2 Control) +20 to all rolls against daemons, cause fear in daemons)- During the First Daemonic Incursion Primaris Xavier pushed himself to his limits fighting the daemonic forces.

Artefact: Embercleave (Low Artefact, Force Weapon, Pen = Power -10, Pyromancy Affinity, Two-Handed) - Forged by a Priest of Vaul during the War in Heaven, he gave the sword to a friend of his, one of Khaine's many warriors in the great war as a symbol of his friendship. By the end of the war, both were broken in mind and soul. Wanting to forget the horrors of the war, they gave away that sword, Embercleave, over to the Saurus for whatever they wished to do with it. Embercleave is a sword of ruinous might, wieldable only by the greatest mage-warriors to it's full potential. In the hands of one such master, it melts armor away as if they were reforged in the forge once more. In the hands of a pyromancy master, as a priest of Vaul might be, it ignites to burn a swathe through all enemies.

"The Ash Hound" (+4M, +3I, +1A, +3C, +3 Power, +2D when dealing with Avernites, boost to pyromancy, +30 to locating rogue psykers and cultists, loyal to Governor Rotbart)- Gerald Xavier has earned the epithet "The Ash Hound" from his actions during and after the First Daemonic Incursion.

It never gets any easier (+2W, +1 Control) - Primaris Xavier has carried out great feats of carnage, including killing many loyal Imperial citizens as collateral damage in his time. He will always regret these actions and wish that there was another way which is one of the things that separates him from the monsters he fights.

Tested Faith (+2W, +1 Control)- Primaris Xavier has tested his faith by journeying into the Halls of the Abomination in the Realms of Chaos itself.

Hero of the Grand Incursion (+2M, +3I, +7W, +5C, +1 Control, +30 to all rolls against daemons, +50 to all stealth rolls vs psykers and daemons, +8 Prestige, +24 Fame)- Grandmaster Xavier has been one of your greatest heroes in many Daemonic Incursions, including the Grand Incursion where he led his battle psykers to kill the Honoured Keeper of Secrets Shoraar Suppleblade.
Seen it All (+1I, +2W, +1C, +1 Control)- Grandmaster Xiaver has been tested by almost every imaginal foe over the course of his lifetime, including some previously believed to be extinct like Enslavers.
Master Bright Wizard (+1C, +2L,+2W, +3 Power, +3 Control, +50 to all rolls using the Wind of Fire, can use Fire Magic up to Cataclysm level)- Xavier has really taken to the use of the Wind of Fire, and has become one of the first humans to truly master its use. As if his pyromancy was not scary enough to benign with.

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 at the time near unheard-of combination.

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 eventually adopted him as a son; and the Phase-Tiger cub who would grow up to become his familiar and brother 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.

Gerald Xavier went one to become Avernus' first homegrown Primaris Psyker, and one of the leaders of the Avernite branch of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. While intelligent and a good leader, Xavier's true strength is his ability to combine his stealth skills, his combat ability, and his powers into a single flawless whole. This makes Xavier one of the Imperial Trust's most deadly combatants, and a near unmatched saboteur. This talents were first truly shown in the Burning of Manavik where with the aid of a choir he infiltrated the rebel hive, caused its plasma reactors to overload and then used the flames from the overload the burn the hive to the ground, killing around a billion men, some of them loyal Imperial Citizens.

Since then Xavier, as he prefers to be called, has shown his skill in combat, stealth and war countless times earning his title as Grandmaster of the Department of War, and most probable successor to the High Grandmaster.

On a personal front Xavier has always been close to his adopted family, acting as a big brother to Syr and uncle to Tormod. His relationship with Jane has always been close, with them regularly sparring to keep their skills sharp and Jane working closely with Xavier in his development of the Chimeric Style that he has created. He is still a bit frustrated by how often Jane beats him though, claiming that psyker hunter or not there is no way that a normal human should beat a psyker as skilled and powerful as him nine times out of ten, despite that he losses more often then nine times out of ten. Jacob and Xavier have always clicked, initially with Xavier as the cool elder cousin and later on as close friends, some of the only people who can understand what it is like to live with the sort of talents and family background that they have, and the expectations that arise from that.

Xavier's most important relationships however are those with his familiar Mittens, his wife Tamia and his daughters Ophelia, Claire and Cassandra. Xavier has been with Mittens for almost his entire life, and to a large extent they grew up together. This has led to a level of connection that few can dream of, with Mittens and Xavier being a mix of best friends brothers so close that they sometimes seem like a single being.
Xavier first met his wife Tamia when she was an student at the Unseen University and he was assigned to mentor her. This mentorship turned into a friendship over time as Tamia got her feet under her, and proved to be more then Xavier's match in her own fields. Eventually Xavier and Tamia ended up adopting Ophelia, Avernus' first Alpha Psyker after her parents gave her up. They moved in together then and continued to live together even after Ophelia moved out. Eventually Xaiver and Tamia realised that they had feeling for each other and got married, having two more daughters, Claire and Cassandra. Xavier always jokes that he and Tamia courted in reverse, first having a child, then moving in, and only finally marrying.
While often busy Xavier has almost always been able to ensure that he spends a good bit of time with his daughters, both when they were young as now that they are adults. In fact despite often acting like an classic batchlour man-child Xavier ahs proven to be one of the best fathers that you know. Not really surprising, Xavier has always hidden a lot mroe then he shows.

Xavier acts like a dedicated, and rather simplistic soldier who lives for battle and wins mostly via brute force and pyromancy, with an occasional cunning moment. This is entirely an act that Xavier puts on to make people underestimate him, with Xavier being one of the most subtle and cunning people that you know and one that views battle as just another duty rather then as something to live for. When he lets his guard down he shows that he is a highly philosophical and witty man, who always has an insightful, and often amusing, comment on any topic.

It was the Grand Incursion where she had the biggest impact though, despite not fighting near the frontlines.

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. Primaris 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 Primaris Tamia Jameson continued her life as one of the most powerful psykers of Avernus, though always overshadowed by her friend and mentor Priamris Xavier. This changed 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 Primaris 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 Primaris 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 Primaris Tamia Jameson was promoted to Master Primaris Psyker, and counted among the great psykers of the Imperial Trust.

Soon enough Tamia's true talents showed themselves as she quickly proved herself to be a utter genius when it comes to understanding the Warp. Soon enough Tamia was spearheading all research effects in Avernus' Telepathica, a position that was formalised with the reorganisation of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica and the appointment of Tamia Jameson as the first Grandmaster of the Central Department. In her time as the Grandmaster of the Central Department Tamia has massively increased the Telepathica's understanding of the Warp and the quality of their training. She has also overseen the addition of several new psychic disciplines to the Telepathica, including the Songweaving that she created.

As the grow Tamia has found that her true talents lie in telepathy rather then pyromancy, and has become the best Telepath in the Adeptus Astra Telepathica by a large margin. This is aided by the study that she has made of the human mind and how it works, which she has since made part of the standard training for all telepaths. Tamia makes heavy use of delegation in leading her department, allowing her to focus on her current research project and her family more then she otherwise would be able to.

Meeting Tamia Jameson is always interesting, in many ways she seems to be a slightly ditzy, very feminine, woman with her head in the clouds but at others she shows the ruthless practicality that she developed in The First Daemonic Incusion and the genius that has earned her her reputation as the Unseen Universities brightest mind. Appearance wise she is a short, beautiful blond woman with clear green eyes and one of the most amazing voices that you have ever heard.

Standing (Imperial Trust): 34- Grandamster Aria has attracted little attention from the Imperial Trust.

Psychic Control: 18+(33-54)=51-72- Grandmaster Aria's ability to adjust her power allows her the ability to trade power and control at will, allowing her to wield minor power with precision that even Grandmaster Ridcully has can only dream of or the power of an Alpha with merely incredible control.

Alpha and Omega (+1 Psychic Control, +2 Ka Control, can use null Zone, can very Sa power from nill to Alpha at will, can very Ka power from nill to Omega at will, allows her to ignore most of the effect of Blanks)- Grandmaster Aria seems to be an entirely natural chimeric combination of an Alpha-level Psyker and an Omega-level Blank. Despite the fact that that combination should be impossible. This seems to have left her with the powers of a Delta-level Psyker as standard, she has learned to make full use of her powers simultaneously, or to totally hide them.

There is little remaining on what Grandmaster Aria did before being assigned to Avernus but it is known that she already had a reputation for defeating psykers, which was the reason for her assignment to Avernus. Once on Avernus Primaris Aria was initially tasked with hunting down Rogue Psykers and the more powerfully psychic wildlife, a task she proved highly skilled at. Several decades later when the Unseen University was founded Priaris Aria found herself in charge of the Witch Sniffers, those Psykers tasked with locating and then either recruiting or eliminating Psykers. While not as gifted at locating psykers as at eliminating Psykers Priamris Aria once more prospered in her position.

As the Unseen University continued to grow and the number of psykers on Avernus increased Priamris Aria, who remained the head of the Witch Sniffers and later Witch Finders, started to be tasked to hunt down rogue psykers more and more often as her aptitude for this continued to prove itself. It was during this time that she developed the ability she calls Null Field, which is one of the most effective anti-psyker abilities you know of. Unfortunately she has not been able to teach this power due to the combination of the incredible control that it requires, the deep understanding of Daemonology and something else she has not been able to explain, that is best referred to as an affinity for it.

After mastering the Null Field Aria became one of the best anti-psyker operative on Avernus, and so was often tasked with hunting down the more powerful of the rogue psykers found on the planet, many of them significantly more powerful then her. As such she continued to develop her talents at fighting psykers as well as those for locating them, to the point where she is now able to kill even beta-levels without to much issue. In fact despite her comparative weakness Aria has been known to defeat even Xavier in a spar when they are restricted to only using their powers.

It recently became known that Grandmaster Aria seems to be a entirely natural chimeric combination of an Alpha-level Psyker and an Omega-level Blank. Despite that fact that that combination should be impossible. This seems to have left her with the powers of a Delta-level Psyker, though as she uses her Null Zone ability to cut others off from the Warp her powers grow, maxing out at Alpha-level. The only other effect that has so far been recorded is that Aria is fully immune to the instinctual terror and loathing that psykers feel.

As the Grandmaster of the Regional Department Aria is one of the leaders of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, tasked with overseeing a range of offices both on Avernus and off it. She fulfills her duties diligently but her true delight remains fighting other psykers, whether in the sparring chambers of the City of Glass or in the field.

Mittens the Phase-Tiger
Fame: 13- While Mittens appears in most descriptions of Grandmaster Xavier, people outside of Avernus are only starting to pay him any attention.
Prestige: 102- Among those who know about him, Mittens sheer ability in stealth and combat is feared.
Standing (Avernus): 42- It is a known fact on Avernus that Mittens is a lot more then Grandmaster Xavier's pet, and that he has been beside his bondmate since the beginning.
Standing (Imperial Trust): 1- You mean Grandmaster Xavier's pet tiger. Did you hear the story that it killed a Greater Daemon?

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+39=54- 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.
Will: 11+27=38- 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+34=50- Mittens is a terror in a fight, able to bypass almost any defense and attack from any angle.
Psychic Power: 5+20=25 (150*40.3=6,045)- 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+24=34- Mittens has an very high level of control over his power, though by no means unmatched.

Phase-Tiger (+10I, +10W, +8C, -4A, -2L, roll all stats on two less dice, Power 5, *0.3 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, +40 power multiplier, +3M, +4I, +2A, +2L, +2W, +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, +5W, +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.
Artefact: Waneclaw - (Force Weapon, *3 Ambush Damage, Pen = Intrigue/2) - A spectral weapon made in part from ghostly entities found in the Boneyard, these claws seemingly cut through the real and unreal both as though it exists in neither, and is especially terrifying when used to strike from the unknown.

University Cat (+5L, +3D, +1W, +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 (+3W, +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.
Survivor of the Grand Incursion (+5I, +6W, +2C, +1 Control, +50 to all stealth rolls vs psykers and daemons, +25 to all rolls against daemons, +4 Fame, +36 Prestige)- Mittens has fought in every Grand Incursion so far beside his human Xavier, and in the Grand, Incursion proved just how deadly he can be by ambushing and killing the wounded Honoured Keeper of Secrets Shoraar Suppleblade.

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.

Piety: 12+4=16 -Vizier Orlov has a strong will and a level of faith in the Emperor.

(65/7+1.5=10.5)

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 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
Dancer (+3D, +1C) - Rosalinda Orlov has always loved dancing in all of its forms, and become very skilled at it over the years. The control over her body that this has left her with has proved to be useful in combat situations.

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.

Recently Rosalinda was slain by a wildlife attack, ending the life of one of the best assistant that you have had. You will need to select a new Vizier to repalce her, though you doubt that her replacement will be her match for decades to come. Such is the price that is paid to live on Avernus.

(+11W, +6C, +50 to all rolls against daemons +5 Prestige, +3 Fame)- Lord General Khol has been a general on the front of many incursions, and has earned her reputation fighting daemons more than any other foe.
United we Prevail (+1W, +2D, good at working with external groups)- General Khol believes that for sanity to prevail in this dark and war-torn galaxy that you must work together, no matter past conflicts.
An Eye for Danger (+2I, less likely to die(5))- Lord Gnera Khol has a talent for spotting potential dangers, which has saved her from several assassins and her many from many ambushes.

Samanta Khol was born, in a tent in the settlement that would eventually be 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 soon enough 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.

Samanta Khol continued to preform well as a Lieutenant-General at and then as a Marshal, with her defence of Helm's Deep in the First Daemonic Incursion and Cassarondo during the Second Daemonic Incursion both going down into legend, though for different reasons. The Defence of Helms Deep being a textbook case of a Pyrrhic victory, with Marshal Richards sacrificing almost the entirely of her forces keeping the civilians alive while the defence of Cassarondo was a textbook defence where the city held against major assault with light losses. After the death of General Richards during the Third Daemonic Incursion General Khol was selected to replace her as the fourth leader of the Avernite military.

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

Seven hundred and fifty-four years after the founding of Avernus Lord General Samanta Khol 'The Frozen Queen of the North" who has served as the commander of the Avernite military for almost half of its brief history retired after a seven-hundred and thirty-nine year career. Samanta Khol has fought in pretty much every major campaign that the Avernite military has seen, from the First Battle of Dis onwards and is currently the oldest living Avernite born human. Objectively anyway, there are a couple of cavers who are subjectively older. Over her long career she has shaped the Avernite military from an elite force, to one of humanity's most dangerous military forces and has left a mark in military history that will last for millennia.

Large Titan Manufactorum- Now that you have a Small Titan Manufactorum, it is time to expand it. With a bit under two decades work, Fabricator-General Scott believes that she will be able to build another four Titan production lines, allowing you to create a Warlord Titan every decade.

Expand Forge-Hive: Nechtan – Currently Belisama and Nechtan are starting to reach the level where it would be possible to expand them into Huge-Forge Hives.

Unfortunately the sheer price involve leaves this currently unaffordable.

Time: 17 years

Expand and downgrade Forge-Hive: Nechtan – Currently Belisama and Nechtan are starting to reach the level where it would be possible to expand them into Huge-Forge Hives.

Time: 11 years

Cost: 2,200,000 Thrones, 320,000 Material, 150,000 Metal, 84,000 Promethium, 16,000 Advanced Material, 25,000 Exotic Material, 12 Relic Material.

Cathedral of the Machine-God: Erecura or Nechtan, – Erecura and Nechtan are now large enough to build a Cathedral of the Machine-God. This would increase your production of Relic Material by almost half and your output of Exotic Material by a tenth, together with a major boost to your economy.

Time: 6 years

Cost: 110,000 Thrones, 28,000 Material, 11,000 Metal, 650 Promethium, 1,100 Advanced Material, 14,000 Exotic Material, 13 Relic Material.

Lunar Forge-Hive (Moon) – Now that the last of the Lunar Forge-Hives has began to be expanded Fabricator-General Scott is willing to start work on building more. She tells you that she could fit a dozen Forge-Hives on each of the moons with time, though every Forge-Hive constructed will take population away from the current Forge-Hives and slow their growth into Huge Forge-Hives.

Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: 60%

Cost: 200 Thrones.
Reward: Total production of chosen resource for the year increased by 5% per success, can be taken multiple times, critical success has a chance of providing a permanent boost.

Build Automated Asteroid Miners- Now that the Mechanicus has shifted towards the progressive end using the Tau Automated Asteroid Miners is possible. These miners will be able to gather up a decently large amount of metal for very little upkeep, though setting them up in numbers will be more expensive. Still cheap though.

Build Hive (Region) – There are several of your regions that have good locations to build a new Hive in, allowing your population and economy to grow further without expanding into a new region. As things stand you could build 2 Hive in Avernus' Spine, 3 in The Fair isles, 1 in Lindon, 2 in The Fens, 12 in Elysium and 2 in Aridia.

Time: 9 years

Time: 2 years
Chance of Success: 35% (goes down by 5% per success)

Cost: 2,000 Thrones
Reward: +0.5% administrative efficiency (currently 61%)

Educational Review – Before her death, Signe suggested devoting some time to improving the Avernite education system, which while incredible by Imperial standards still has room to improve. It will be challenging to make even small improvements, but given that each improvement will increase the productivity of your people for the foreseeable future, it is a worthwhile endeavour.

Time: 1 year (can be taken as many times as you want)
Chance of Success: 40% (uses the average of administration and learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones.
Reward: increase education modifier by +1% (currently +316%)

Economic Focus (Thrones, Production, Metal, Promethium or Food) – Isaac is capable of notably increasing the efficiency of a portion of your economy by focusing a large amount of his attention, and resources, on it. This will have little long term effects but is a effective way of overcoming a resource shortage in the short term.

Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: 60%

Cost: 200 Thrones.
Reward: total production of chosen resource this year by 5% per success, can be taken multiple times, critical success has a chance of providing a permanent boost.

Expand Shipyards: Small – Now that you have a huge shipyard, it is possible to build five small shipyards at a time. This would allow you to more quickly increase the total number of shipyards that you own though it would not help with building capital ships or maintaining anything above cruiser size.

Time: 6 years

Cost: 26,000 Thrones, 3,800 Material, 1,900 Metal, 3,800 Promethium, 310 Advanced Material, 2,600 Exotic Material.

Time: 12 years

Cost: 370,000 Thrones, 110,000 Material, 37,000 Metal, 8,900 Promethium, 98,000 Advanced Material, 140,000 Exotic Material .
Upkeep per year: 7,400 Thrones, 2,200 Material, 750 Metal, 180 Promethium, 980 Advanced Material, 1,400 Exotic Material.
Reward: Build 16 Advanced Defence Stations, 160 Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms and 1,600 Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms around the selected planet

Further Thicken Minefield: Deiphobe – One option to expand the defences of Deiphobe is to quadruple the density of the minefield. This would quadruple the damage that the mines inflict, making the minefield likely to destroy most cruisers that try to advance through it and inflict major damage on even Battleships. This would be a time-consuming and expensive option but would make attacking through the minefield near-impossible for most fleets.

Time: 11 years

Cost: 3,800,000 Thrones, 960,000 Material, 38,000 Promethium, 1,200,000 Advanced Material
Upkeep per year: 96,000 Thrones, 24,000 Material, 960 Promethium, 14,000 Advanced Material
Reward: Thicken Minefield to very heavy

Increase Luxury Goods Production- Currently, your factories produce just enough luxury goods to pay for their operational costs, which is 20% of their full output. You could increase this amount by another ten per cent to boost your Thrones income significantly, at the cost of reducing material income.

Time: 1 year (can be taken multiple times)

Cost: 1 Throne
Reward: Decrease Material production by 10% (currently at 80%), increase Throne production by twice that. -20,000 Material a year, +40,000 Thrones a year

Decrease Luxury Goods Production- Currently, your factories produce just enough luxury goods to pay for their operational costs, which is 20% of their full output. You could decrease this amount by ten per cent to boost your material income significantly, at the expense of reducing Thrones income.

Time: 1 year (can be taken multiple times)

Cost: 1 Throne
Reward: Increase Material production by 10% (currently at 80%), decrease Throne production by twice that. +20,000 Material a year, -40,000 Thrones a year

Teleporter Rapid Reaction Groups- While the side effects of rogue Alpha levels make using teleporters to deploy rapid reaction groups to deal with them non-viable they still could be used for dealing with the Gamma Psykjers that are causing a great deal of damage. Setting up the network would be incredibly expensive, even by your standards, but the boost to reaction time would be worth it.

Time: 12 years

Cost: 800,000 Thrones, 160 Material, 800 Promethium, 380,000 Advanced Material, 1,200,000 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 80,000 Thrones, 16 Material, 80 Promethium, 19,000 Advanced Material, 23,000 Exotic Material.
Reward: Build Teleporter Network in all Hive, +15 to dealing with Gammas and above, -15 to dealing with Alphas and above

Titan Design: Avernus-Pattern Reaver Titan – Now that he has made one Titan design Archmagos Tranth can start working on others. This will be significantly easier than the original design due to how many of the problems he has already solved. Designing a Reaver Titan will give you access to a manoeuvrable superheavy with long-range firepower able to support your battle lines from the back. The time required for this project and its difficulty has been reduced after being given the schematics for traditional Reaver Titans.

Time: 10 years
Chance of Success: -80% (51% after bonuses)

Cost: 58,000 Thrones, 580 Material, 120 Promethium, 12,000 Advanced Material, 120,000 Exotic Material, 30 Relic Material.
Reward: Create a schematic for Avernus-Pattern Reaver Titan.

Black Ship Design: Grand Cruiser – Now that you have determined how to ward Black Ships, it is time to create your first design. Black Ships will allow you to start training Psykers from worlds that do not have a major Adeptus Astra Telepathica presence, greatly increasing the number of Psykers that you can train. If you make a Grand Cruiser scale Black Ship, it will be significantly cheaper and faster to build than a Grand Cruiser, but be less able to protect its precious cargo from attack.

Time: 4 years
Chance of Success: 10% (99% after bonuses)

Cost: 1,600 Thrones, 320 Material, 16 Promethium, 6,400 Advanced Material, 27,000 Exotic Material, 20 Relic Material.
Reward: Designs for Grand Cruiser scale Black Ship

Advanced Ramilies Design: Type – Archmagos Tranth has recently finished reverse engineering the Ramilies Starfort and has sketched out a few different ways that it could be improved with current technology. Both Fabricator-General Scott and he are able to turn these simple ideas into complete plans, though given the size of a Ramilies it will take some time. The current suggestions for design variants are a pure fortress, orbital defence station, forward operating base, and orbital artillery, though there may be other possible purposes.

Time: 3 years
Chance of Success: 20% (99% after bonuses)

Cost: 780 Thrones, 160 Material, 8 Promethium, 900 Advanced Material, 2,000 Exotic Material.
Reward: Designs for the selected type of Advanced Ramilies Starfort

Thunder Warriors: First Flaw- The first flaw is the Thunder Warriors shortened life expectancy, which comes as a result of how heavily the process overcharges their entire body in order to get the best possible performance. While it may be possible to overcome this flaw, it would not be easy, and the price would be a significant reduction in the capabilities of a Thunder Warrior. Archmagos Maximal is still willing to try, however.

Time: 18 years
Chance of Success: -220 (34% after bonuses)

Cost: 2,000 Thrones, 400 Material, 8 Promethium, 2,000 Advanced Material, 200 Exotic Material
Reward: Create a weakened version of Thunder Warrior process that does not increase ageing

Thunder Warriors: Second Flaw- The second flaw is the inability of Thunder Warrior's minds to keep up with their bodies as a result of not being enhanced to nearly the same extent. This is the only one of the flaws that Archmagos Biologis Maximal is confident that he can fix, though he will have to spend a decade or two designing cybernetics that can handle the issue.

Time: 22 years
Chance of Success: -240 (14% after bonuses)

Cost: 2,000 Thrones, 400 Material, 8 Promethium, 2,000 Advanced Material, 200 Exotic Material
Reward: Create enhancements that counteract the Second Flaw

Magic: Research: Destructive Resonances (Chaos Undivided) – Now that your psykers have discovered several of the exact frequencies that the Chaos Gods seem to rely on, it is possible to determine which frequencies resonate destructively with them. This is the next step on the path to creating specific anti-Chaos powers, which should prove very useful against the coming threats. While not as dangerous as finding the frequencies this still runs a worrying risk of taint.

Time: 5 years (must be taken by Ridcully or Tamia, best done by the person who found the frequencies)
Chance of Success: -10% (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: Determine the Psychic Frequencies that resonate destructively with those that the Chaos Undivided operates on

Magic: Alkahestry Creation Investigation (Purpose) – Now that the Order of Alkahestry has Master-level Alkahesters they can begin to create their own recipes. The first step to making a recipe will be to determine what you want, and if it is even possible.

Time: 1 year
Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: Determine if selected recipe is possible

Research: Black Crystal Items (Item) – Headmaster Ridcully has determined that each of the items of Black Crystal has its own unique property, though he was not able to determine what they are. He tells you it would most likely take a couple of years of study to determine exactly what the unique properties are but it would almost certainly be worth the time expended.

Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: Unknown (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: More information on Black Crystal Item selected

Implement (Siren Rune) – In recent years you have gained access to a massive list of Siren Runes, each of which has their own uses. It would be a good idea to spend some time working out how to best utilize them.

Time: 1 year

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: Plan on how to implement chosen rune

Warp Echo: (material or item) – Some materials or items have a strong echo in the Warp, providing them with properties that they otherwise would not have. With a bit of work Ridcully will be able to determine if any given material or item has an echo, and what it is tied to.

Time: 1 year (must be taken by Ridcully)
Chance of Success: 40% (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: Information on selected item's Warp echo

Warp Echo: (Search) – Some materials or items have a strong echo in the Warp, providing them with properties that they otherwise would not have. With a bit of work Ridcully will be able to find items or materials that have Warp Echoes.

Time: 2 years (must be taken by Ridcully)
Chance of Success: 0% (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: find one Warp Echo

Magic: Examine: (Siren Rune) – The Sirens have recently traded knowledge of how to make several forms of Runes in exchange for the souls of chaos cultists. Tamia would like to spend a few years examining each in order to both determine what it does and to ensure that it is safe. This will also determine exactly how you can use the rune, including whether you can form wards of it or inscribe it on weapons.

Time: 2 years (must be taken by Tamia)
Chance of Success: 90% (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: Determine the effects of the selected Rune and whether it is safe

Research (species for which Biologis research has been completed) – Many of the more interesting creatures of Avernus use psychic powers in some manner and while Archmagos Biologis Maximal has discovered as much about them as he can, there is still more to learn. Headmaster Ridcully would like to lead a team of Sanctionites to try to discover more about these species, hopefully including how to mimic their innate powers in some manner.

Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: Unknown (uses learning)

Cost: 200 Thrones, 2 Material, 2 Advanced Material, 20 Exotic Material.
Reward: More information on chosen species, chance of learning new psychic power.

Siren Rune of Wind: Weapons- Runes of Wind can replace some of the Runes of Fire on your elites weaponry, mostly sniper rifles, AA mounts and other weapons where accuracy is more important then firepower. This would cost a bit to do but not affect upkeep at all.

Time: 5 years

Cost: 1,100 Thrones, 17,000 Advanced Material, 2,200 Exotic Material.
Reward: Avernite Helguard and Last Hunters equipped with Siren Runes of Wind

Decade or two is workable. We should have enough time to develop anti-Nurgle powers, at least.

Great that this is continuning , the best 40k quest i have ever read by far.

sciencefiction · Apr 21, 2020

Glad my favorite 40k quest is continuing. Now will come our biggest challenge surviving the attention of the great powers. Also will the Index include the omakes as well as the main thread posts from the last thread or is it just for this thread?

Drakonian Rogue · Apr 21, 2020

When did the Slann get resurrected? Or is this part of the great ritual?

Also, can't remember if I posted on the last thread, but I finished binging this a week or two ago and really enjoyed it.

I believe Isha is going to revive some of them once she gets around to it.

Like most militias in the Imperial Trust the Avernite militia is armed little better then the Imperium's Imperial Guard and each member is expected to spend thirty-two hours a week training.

! That's almost a full time job! This does not seems remotely viable.

The exact wording is something like Cadian training regimen.
