''"Look, just put them in the cells and I'll figure out what to do with them later; currently half the starboard air scrubbers are broken, the emergency supply vaults are sealed shut and there's another group of mutineers wandering the halls of the macrocannon battery."'' - Newly-appointed Captain Jestic Dunwich, fifth day of his reign.

''"... The Omnissiah must delight in my suffering."'' - Enginseer Gene Markete Sylas, upon receiving the news of Jestic's promotion.

==Background==
To all appearances, Jestic is a rather absent-minded member of the Dunwich dynasty. While technically in the line of succession to the Warrant of Trade, being of the main branch of the family, he was so far down the list that nobody (including himself) expected him to have most anything more important than a position as a planetary agent or the curator of the house's private library. Perhaps, if his fortune favored it, a job as one of the house's lord factors after a lifetime as an agent for the same.

And his childhood reflected it. His time was spent with half-hearted tutors and he rarely saw his parents, whom were somewhat more important to the family. But, in a way, such a life offers far more freedom than a more prestigous position; with little expected of him beyond not bringing shame upon House Dunwich, he was free to turn his energies elsewhere.

His teachers noted that he wasn't a fool or simple-minded, but most certainly lazy and disinclined to pay more than minimal attention to lessons. He was, however, quite gifted at leading groups of his fellow youngsters and the younger servants in a wide variety of games and entertainments, with an occasional flash luck leading to gain for the House - although no doubt by accident.

It was perhaps because of this potential that he was assigned to the officer corp for the new vessel upon which the House set their fortune. As an aide to one of the senior officers, he could be relied upon to be loyal and at least mildly competent.

Like most of the newly-awakened, his memories of anything beyond a few days after the ceremonial launch were vague and fragmentary, but records that still remainedsuggested he had gotten into a certain amount of mischief (resulting in quite a few reprimands and scoldings).

Needless to say, being identified upon awakening as the Heir Primus was quite the shock to him. After retreating to the captain's quarters for a full day to drinkhimself sober (... it made sense at the time), he emerged to make a worthy attempt at the job.

And has so far succeeded reasonably well. His vague amiability, inflappable manner and mild suggestions quickly turned chaos and panic into order and discipline, and ahandful of moments of ruthless opportunism cemented his grasp upon power.

But now comes the real test - can he take a family all but vanished from even the Administratum's records and resurrect it, or even forge it into a power known across the sector? Only the Emperor knows, and only time will show what His vision has already seen.

==NPCs of Note==
'''Leftenant Alice Banthic:''' Jestic's personal aide, this highly competent woman is has a no-nonsense attitude and is quite willing to drag her charge from his quarters to perform his various duties. Luckily, it's rare that she actually needs to go this far these days, but she still recalls the little scamp that gave her so much trouble almost a decade ago. A former guard officer turned child's bodyguard turned highly-skilled assistant, she still occasionally finds herself uncomfortable when dealing with her charge in formal or 'fancy' situations. While many would assume from the scar down her weather-tanned face and the crisp almost-uniform she wears that she has little to offer beyond security, she possesses a great skill for practical logistics that has translated well outside the military supply chain. 
'''Enginseer Gene Markete Sylas:'''One of the mid-level priests that service the vessel's great engines, Gene is more or less indistinguishable from his fellows. He has, however, the unique possession of several aggravating meetings with the at-the-time-not-the captain (aggravating on his part). Something about Jestic really gets to him, and somehow he always seems to end up the worst for their encounters. Oddly enough, this never seems to result in actual loss or danger (in fact, he has tended to benefit; he got his position partially from the fallout of one of the Dunwich scion's youthful indiscretions), but he's not sure it's worth the irritation and frequent humiliation in front of his peers. He's not entirely sure on the man's elevation to head of the dynasty; he can readily admit (quietly, to himself, after a bit of alcohol-spiked machine oil) Jestic could make an excellent leader, but he fears the future pains he will no doubt incur. 
''' Commander Eva Hargrave Dunwich:''' Head of the port macrocannon batteries. A rather distant (several removes) kinswoman, this woman grew up in the same circles as Jestic and was something of a friend of his; in fact, they had a somewhat brief romantic relationship before she got tired of his erratic and seemingly carefree manner. Their history makes relations between them somewhat awkward when they meet in recent months, but they both have independently decided to keep things professional, at least for the time being.

''Back to [[TAND:Main_Page|the main page]]'' 

==Background==
'''Navigators of the Fleet''' 
House Aulus is a small House, as the Navis Nobilite go, and a relatively new one, being an off-shoot of House Gorgonius for a mere four hundred years. Rather than its' ancestral house's tendency to spend their lives until their mastery on a handful of Imperial core-worlds (and returning to the House's holdings after a century or so of service on the ships of the Imperium), member of House Aulus spend their whole lives on ships of the Imperial Navy; family units of navigators are kept together on the same ship while the young are raised, and are responsible for education and training - the young go from ship to ship to further their education until they are ready to assist in their elders' job of navigation through the Empyrean. All members, without exception, serve on Naval vessels for their entire lives, save for only a few who are dedicated to the management of the House.

'''An Inconvenience to the House''' 
Mordecai was born on the fleet battleship "Saint Alestine" to two navigators of little consequence - at least, that's how he remembers it. He spent the first half-dozen years of his life under their tutelege and care, and then moved on to a series of other teachers, none of whom he stayed with for more than a handful of years. By the age of 16 he had developed what was seen as moderately promising talent... and an unfortunate reputation for causing trouble for other members of the House. Whether it was by forging love letters between a particularly strict teacher and the chief gunnery officer (the latter of which was horrified and spent much of her time over the next dozen years seeking solace in the ship's shrine) or whether it was his delving into some of the less desirable deeds of his ancestors, he had made a name for himself as something of an inconvenience. By the age of 24, when his training was officially done, he had managed to alienate most of the more experienced navigators... none of whom wanted him anywhere on "their" ships.

'''Free Thinker, Free of Responsibilities''' 
Perhaps the most appalling for the dignity of the House was his views on the Imperial Cult and the Ecclesiarchy, which he was quite fond of expressing in ways both subtle and anything but. "Shepherds..." (which clerics sometimes liked) "... shearing the flock" was the least of his views. Corrupt, decadent, next to useless, pedantic, dull, slack-jawed fools - Mordecai thought of the members of the Ministrorum as all of these and more; a view that hasn't yet changed. The Emperor is, of course, holy (about the only thing the cassocked asses got right) - anyone who can see the eternal beacon of the Astronomicon can agree with that. But if He were to waken today (and he had to be sleeping - else He would no doubt have torched all those self-righteous pricks in a moment... Emperor knows Mordecai sometimes wished he could do so), simply seeing what the Ecclesiarchy had done to Humanity in His Name would probably put Him right back to sleep... permanently. It probably hasn't helped that most clergy he's interacted with see him as less than human, of course.

'''A Dismaying Post''' 
At about this time, the pirate raider "Widowed Mother's Tears" came across a rather hard-to-explain set of documents penned perhaps a dozen decades ago by a young Navigator by the name of Titus Aulus, who had since become the head of the House. Desiring that the unfortunate documents not fall into the hands of the Inquisition, the Ministrorum or (worst of all) a rival House, Titus arranged a trade - a moderately inconvenient member of his house for the pirates, and peace and tranquility for Titus in the form of burnt parchment.
This arrangement, while imminently suitable both to Titus and to Arsen, captain of the Tears, was most definitely not to young Mordecai Aulus' liking at all. He spent several years chafing at the "contract" and plotting both escape and revenge (whether upon Arsen or Titus he was most undecided).
His chance came when the Tears took on a Naval logistics vessel that was carrying several smaller scouting vessels and fighters - including two warp-capable vessels little larger than shuttles. While the loot piled up and gathered dust, he carefully acquired and studied piloting manuals, systems' records and even such things as the habits and patrol patterns of the fighters that guarded the hollow asteroid where Arsen kept his findings.
Taking advantage of a layover to drop off the cargo of an unfortunate free trader, he slipped through the guards patrolling the inside of the base, killing them with his deadly eye whenever he could, seized the small vessel and drove out a hole in the hanger bay door made with a torpedo from the small craft. He escaped the patrolling fighters and immediately entered the warp as soon as he could, making it all the way to Footfall, where he quietly looked for a ship that would take him on.

'''Never Again''' 
To Mordecai, what will bring him out of his trials and above his enemies is knowledge; both of the power of the Navigator genes and of whatever he can find to wield against them. He desires to know more of ancient legends and hidden treasures not just for the lust for discovery, but for the power and wealth they can bring... power he can use to protect himself or even, one day, to topple those who have wronged him.

** ''Almost all Navigators are born with a third eye, but all carry some sign of the stable mutability of their ancestors. Since the very first, Mordecai's eyes were naught but iris-less ebony orbs, although there is a red ring that resembles dancing flames that appears in his pineal eye.''
* Teeth as Sharp as Needles
** ''After probing strange ape-like xeno creatures that appeared to possess no eyes for signs of Warp contamination, Mordecai collapsed, waking up with a mouthful of needle-like teeth very like the ones the bizarre creatures themselves had, as well an enhanced ability to examine the gravitic impressions of space around a vessel, which can even allow him to examine a planet's surface (albeit with difficulty).''
* Strange Vitality
** ''Delving into the transformation of raw warp energy into purifying flame caused Mordecai significant agony as, time after time, his form sizzled and burned with uncontrolled energies. Perhaps as a defensive measure, his body learned to quickly heal broken and burned skin and bruised organs.''
* Strangely-Jointed Limbs
** ''The unleashing of warp-fire upon a group of servitors summoned forth an inferno like unto a sun, scouring them down to scorched components and sizzling flesh, but there were consequences other than the dancing tongues of flame that lingered for a few minutes in front of Mordecai's face. While his ability to call forth cleansing fire upon his foes broadened to forever after contain a hint of that sunfire, his bones liquified and re-solidified in the backlash, sending him to the ground in agony and leaving his joints unnaturally pliable.''

Orelius Wadsworth

Sunhawk: /* Skills */

''Back to [[Horizon's_Edge_Wiki|the main page]]'' 

''"It's been taken care of, sir. Would you like some tea?"''

==Background==
=== Overview ===
'''Devotion to the House of the Peregrine''' 
To be a Wadsworth is to serve the Peregrine Dynasty; this is the truth that each generation is born with, and this is the truth that each generation dies upon. Every holder of the Warrant of Trade has been accompanied by a Wadsworth, and none that carry the name have betrayed the house.

Each member of Orelius' family has served the Peregrines in one way or another; while by tradition the position of manservant and seneschal has been taken by a direct descendent of the last to serve in that capacity, the dynasty requires many trusted agents, clerks and heralds. While not all factors and representatives of the house have been Wadsworths, a majority have.

Orelius himself was born the grandson of Marcus Wadsworth, the previous manservant of the Peregrine and the son of Augusta Wadsworth, who held the position of steward of the main estates upon the world of <originating world of the Peregrine>. One of five grandchildren groomed to replace the Wadsworth, Orelius was selected to accompany the Peregrine when his grandfather retired to tend to the Dynasty's finances in more detail. He has now served in this role for over nine decades and four Peregrines; Victoris will be the fifth he has tended to.

'''Protecting the Honour of the Dynasty''' 

'''A Proper Servant is Rarely Noticed''' 

'''His Place is by his Master's Side''' 
Orelius performs a number of duties on behalf of his charge. Perhaps the most important is the manager of the finances of the ship and, ultimately, the entire Dynasty. Other members of the Wadsworth family ensure solid long-term investments and monitor the webwork of funds and favors, but to Orelius falls the roll of ensuring that the Peregrine's decisions and needs are reflected in the House's investments. In this role the ship's young Purser, Exalion Relyth, reports directly to him on the state of the vessel's liquid funds, as does the experienced Steward, Wycliff Wadsworth.

While there is no formal (or informal) Master of Whispers, Orelius has several individuals among the crew that keep him abreast of the state of morale and loyalty. If there is crew unrest, Orelius will no doubt shortly learn of it... and usually equally promptly deal with it (diplomatically if possible, violently if not) without bothering Captain Victoris over such inconsequentials.

While he usually tends to his charge's personal needs, when on bridge during battle Orelius is liable to be found managing the sensors of the great vessel. Out of battle, he tends to leave the operations of the augurs and the vox to specialists.

Sunhawk: /* Experience */

''Back to [[Horizon's_Edge_Wiki|the main page]]'' 

''"It's been taken care of, sir. Would you like some tea?"''

==Background==
=== Overview ===
'''Devotion to the House of the Peregrine''' 
To be a Wadsworth is to serve the Peregrine Dynasty; this is the truth that each generation is born with, and this is the truth that each generation dies upon. Every holder of the Warrant of Trade has been accompanied by a Wadsworth, and none that carry the name have betrayed the house.

Each member of Orelius' family has served the Peregrines in one way or another; while by tradition the position of manservant and seneschal has been taken by a direct descendent of the last to serve in that capacity, the dynasty requires many trusted agents, clerks and heralds. While not all factors and representatives of the house have been Wadsworths, a majority have.

Orelius himself was born the grandson of Marcus Wadsworth, the previous manservant of the Peregrine and the son of Augusta Wadsworth, who held the position of steward of the main estates upon the world of <originating world of the Peregrine>. One of five grandchildren groomed to replace the Wadsworth, Orelius was selected to accompany the Peregrine when his grandfather retired to tend to the Dynasty's finances in more detail. He has now served in this role for over nine decades and four Peregrines; Victoris will be the fifth he has tended to.

'''Protecting the Honour of the Dynasty''' 

'''A Proper Servant is Rarely Noticed''' 

'''His Place is by his Master's Side''' 
Orelius performs a number of duties on behalf of his charge. Perhaps the most important is the manager of the finances of the ship and, ultimately, the entire Dynasty. Other members of the Wadsworth family ensure solid long-term investments and monitor the webwork of funds and favors, but to Orelius falls the roll of ensuring that the Peregrine's decisions and needs are reflected in the House's investments. In this role the ship's young Purser, Exalion Relyth, reports directly to him on the state of the vessel's liquid funds, as does the experienced Steward, Wycliff Wadsworth.

While there is no formal (or informal) Master of Whispers, Orelius has several individuals among the crew that keep him abreast of the state of morale and loyalty. If there is crew unrest, Orelius will no doubt shortly learn of it... and usually equally promptly deal with it (diplomatically if possible, violently if not) without bothering Captain Victoris over such inconsequentials.

While he usually tends to his charge's personal needs, when on bridge during battle Orelius is liable to be found managing the sensors of the great vessel. Out of battle, he tends to leave the operations of the augurs and the vox to specialists.

TCT:Icarius

Sunhawk: Added skills

''Back to [[ToCrushThoseNotInHisSight|the main page]]'' 

== Background ==
Icarius began his service to the Holy Ordos and Inquisitor Mahias Kruta in particular at a quite young age, being little more than a novice in the Priesthood of Mars when he stumbled upon a heretek cult, a plot to twist an entire forge (perhaps the entire forge world) to the service of Chaos and (fortunately or unfortunately), a dedicated Inquisitor and his most trusted throne agents on a mission to find and destroy the aforementioned cult and stop the aforementioned armaggeddon. While many of the details are (as much of what goes on in the Ordos' business) 'need to know' (and nobody needs to know), the entire episode ended with a thoroughly purged and cleansed forge, a singular lack of cult members among the living (or much of anyone else in the vicinity), and a new recruit to the Inquisitor's network.

Perhaps as a consequence of so many years in the Inquisition and so few in the Priesthood proper, Icarius is hardly the most dutiful of techpriests. While he finds a fascination with the Search for Knowledge within himself, he has no loyalty to the hierarchy or the principles of the Mechanicum. This could potentially be a very dangerous flaw (resulting in very heretical research, silica anima, and other abominations)... if he wasn't polished to maturity in an equally forbidding (of things dangerous to Mankind) environment.

The particular focus of Icarius' interests lie in the Holy Forces of Electricity (thus his moniker) and Magnetism (mostly as an effect of the former). He has grown to a singular mastery of electrical systems, which has allowed him to disadvantage many a cult in a 'civilized' environment as lights go out or explode in incandescent fury, cogitator systems and data slates betray their masters' secrets, and even weapons themselves can fly from enemies' hands at Icarius' coaxing (ie, Ferric Lure used as a stunty disarm). In combat he uses a whip of lightning-clad alloy to significant effect, often taking as many prisoners as corpses. Afterwards he is adept at scavenging cults' resources to further the team's investigations and assists with both medical skill and electrical shocks interrogations of prisoners.

When not on an investigation, the Galvanist is quite friendly and human to his team-mates or to others he interacts with. His (mostly) subtle implants are often either hidden under flesh or fit the lines of his body under his clothes well enough that he is difficult to identy as a techpriest - something which he cultivates, as he secretly cherishes his connections to the rest of humanity as he feels alienated from his cybernetic fellows. He wears a cloth half-mask that hides the smooth surface of his vox and respiratory filters, and often accompanies it with a nondescript brown hood and cloak. If he were to strip off his armour and clothes, his torso would be covered in flexible metal alloy bands that trace his ribs (part of his new mantle, after his previous one was severely damaged in an investigation a year back). Through the skin a faint amethyst glow can sometimes be seen when his potentia coil stores or discharges a significant amount of power, and his palms contain conductive cog-wheels made of warm copper that allow him to draw or discharge sacred electrical power through contact. His completely (including eyebrows) hairless head has no particularly startling features (aside from the concealed metal jaw), and emotions are often eloquently expressed with tilts of his head or the movement of his eyes. With his dark skin and brown cloak, he often fades into darkness - however, stealth is somewhat ruined by the luminosity of his electoos and potentia coil.

Except for Paragon. While he has access to what information other nations possess on the city-state of the Perfect, the city itself has so far defied his efforts to infiltrate.

== Urge ==
* '''Coadjutor:''' Crysongae, the Crying Woman (Ophidian Urge)
** '''Advantages:'''
(notes on the Coadjutor)
* '''Urge:''' To enable self-destruction through the fulfillment of desires.
That is, to find a way to grant someone what they most desire, but in a way that leads inevitably to their own self-destruction. While initially he exercised this Urge by granting desires and then taking them away, now he seeks to have the whole process appear to happen entirely at the target's will and through the target's action. A man who desires to marry the beautiful daughter of the local magistrate will find himself in a successful courtship, only to wake up before the wedding with a hangover and learning he had mortally insulted the father of the bride-to-be and had publicly attempted to force himself on her. A woman who desires wealth will perhaps discover a hidden cache of money, but rapidly will become so paranoid about losing it that she kills her family to prevent them from spreading rumors of her new-found wealth and is subsequently tried for murder and executed. 
* '''Torment:'''
(notes on the Torment) 

== Intimacies ==
* '''Revolutionaries (positive)'''
Ghenja has a fondness for revolutionaries and mutineers. They combine ambition with desperate determination in a way that draws his attention and favor.
* '''The Immaculate Order (negative)'''
The Immaculate Order, aside from all its other flaws, seeks to force everyone into particular roles, regardless of power or ambition. That they are rooted in deception and would seek Ghenja out to slay him only reinforces his negative view of the monks.
* '''Honesty about others (positive)'''
While it is not difficult to destroy others with deception upon deception, leading them to suicide or worse, it is far more satisfying to enact destruction or fashion suffering through the truth. While a lie can trick one, the truth can bring on insanity and a much more thorough ruin. Framing a virtuous man for a murder can lead them to the gallows, but causing a virtuous man to commit the crime can lead a broken and disillusioned soul to walk to it themselves.
* '''Slavery (negative)'''
There is little less interesting to Ghenja, who likes to foster ambition, then one without any ambition or drive at all - that is, a slave. A system that creates such individuals is one he would seek to destroy, for the removal of ambition and free will is anathema to him. An unbroken slave, however, who has the determination for freedom or revenge, may catch his interest.

== Virtues, Willpower & Essence ==
While Ghenja has those urges and habits that mark one that is virtuous, the virtues in question are perhaps not as much of Creation would recognize them. He doesn't care; he is virtuous according to his own lights, and that's all that matters to him. Interestingly enough, these drives and urges balance each other fairly well - coupled with an extreme self-control, this allows him to channel the strength of his virtues towards his goals.

'''Compassion:''' 5 
Individuals should be free to fulfill their ambitions - it is his compassion that drives Ghenja to enable such fulfillment. And, of course, once they have fulfilled them the passionate thing is to eliminate them. That his means of doing so are often the cruelest of tortures he doesn't mind - that moment of exultation is the greatest gift he can give others; that it does not last does not diminish the worth. 

'''Conviction:''' 5 
Ghenja often seeks to destroy or simply undermine the barriers in a society that restrict ambition and limit power. Those who desire have the freedom to achieve those desires in whatever ways they choose - if others object to their goals or means, then those others are free to interfere... if they possess the power and drive to do so. 

'''Temperance:''' 5 (Primary virtue) 
Ghenja often comes across and calm and collected, regardless of how powerfully emotions and urges roil in his mind. He prides himself on his control and on subjugating his emotions to his goals and less-immediate desires - there is a time and place to indulge, of course. Wound up in his fairly strong self-control and ability to ignore temptations when necessary is the constant desire to bring out ambition in others; for an ideal society is full of grand goals and ambitions, tempered and countered only by one another. 

'''Valor:''' 5 
Aside from a sense of personal bravery and, under his masks, a torrent of emotional power, Ghenja's drives and desires roil in constant conflict with one another. He seeks to personally tear down individuals and societies, yet also seeks to encourage self destruction; this is a constant internal fight, but one he finds comforting. And regardless of which wins, he is often satisfied with the results. 

'''Willpower:''' 10 
It is through the constant struggle between control and emotion, between enabling the greatest ambitions of others and their utter destruction that Ghenja's determination to follow his own path, uncaring of opposition or difficulty, arises. Over the years of his service to the imprisoned architects of Creation and, in particular, the most treacherous and invirtous of them all, the Ebon Dragon, he has learned to see all, from mortal to Yozi, with equanimity. He works as his Urge and his Patron desires because it amuses him and because it gives him opportunity for power and destruction. Once he has decided on a course of action, few arguments can successfully sway him if he so chooses.
