'''Mordakai Jailo Sputzarzi Czkahn of House'''

The House Czkahn (an offshoot of the Cassini Lineage) has been a Nomadic house since before the Horus Heresy, with legends claiming ties to pre-Imperial Terran governments. A proud house of good reputation in the Navis, they nonetheless fell onto hard times five generations ago when a duel with Harkonna Chorda was lost, leaving the family destitute...by Navigator standards, at least. Having lost routes and wealth, they were forced deeper into the Kronus expanse. The family was scattered moreso than ever, and families were essentially forced into ships to keep their status and income.

Mordakai is the heir apparent for the Czkahn House, although that does mean he has a few centuries until Grandfather Sckelsi is expected to die. He and his sub-clan have been tied to the ship. Technically this is exactly what Mordakai would want to do--explore the uncharted reaches--but the fact that he has to do it grates. his main goal at this point is to find a way to fill the House Coffers, and possibly get enough to send a few assassins to take out a few Chorda bastards.

'''Presence''' Mordakai is a thin, gaunt man with chalk-white skin, a bald head, and a massive red beard. His eyes are normally covered by thick dark goggles, his third eye covered by a simple cloth. He wears massive robes in the family colors of dark green and beige. He appears to be gruff and mean, but it's out of understanding that he makes normals uncomfortable by his presence.

Traits
Charmed: The void born are touched by the fickle powers
of the warp, making them preternaturally lucky. Whenever a
void born character spends a Fate Point (though not if he burns
one), roll a 1d10. On the roll of a natural 9, the Fate Point is
not lost.

Ill-omened: Whether because of their strange looks,
clannish ways, or unwholesome air, the void born are shunned
and mistrusted by most. In addition, the void born are most
likely to attract any negative attention that the party of Explorers
creates—accusations of deceit in trade, disgruntled negotiators,
mobs armed with stones, and so on. Because of this, void born
characters suffer a –5 penalty on all Fellowship Tests made to
interact with non-void born humans.

Shipwise: Birthed in the depths of a voidfaring craft,
the void born have a natural affinity for such vehicles. As a
result, Navigation (Stellar) (Int) and Pilot (Spacecraft) (Ag) are
untrained Basic Skills (instead of Advanced Skills) for void
born characters.

Void Accustomed: Due to their strange and unnatural
childhood, the void born are used to the vagaries of changing
gravity. They are immune to space travel sickness. In addition,
zero- or low-gravity environments are not considered Difficult
Terrain for void born characters.

Lore of the Wanderer: The Navigator has an ingrained
affinity with passage between distant and uncharted stars and
gains the Talented (Navigation (Warp)) Talent.

A Taste for the Warp: Living in constant contact with the
veil between real space and the warp, the Navigator can read
it like few others. The Navigator can spend a Fate Point to
automatically succeed in using a Navigator power; if degrees of
success are relevant to the effects of the power, he will succeed
by 1d5 degrees of success with 5 counting as 0 degrees of
success.

Scorn of Dirt Dwellers: Those that have roamed the void for
so long feel uncomfortable in the cultures of dirt dwellers and
usually cannot wait to return to space. Whenever the Navigator
is on a planetary body and must deal with locals he suffers a
–10 to all Fellowship tests and skills based on Fellowship.

Navigator Mutation
99 - Unnatural Presence: In your presence living things feel strange unpleasant sensations, a cloying touch to their
skin, a keening whine in their ears and a metallic tang in their mouth. All your tests that involve positive social
interaction are at –10, whilst all those that involve intimidation or inducing fear are at +10.

Navigator Power

The Lidless Stare
If a Navigator opens his warp eye fully, anyone gazing into
its depths will witness the power and mind breaking unreality
of the warp. In an instant, they witness the chaos boiling
beneath the skin of existence and for many, it is the last thing
they ever see.

Novice: The Navigator makes an Opposed Willpower Test
with anyone looking into his Warp Eye. Make a single test
for the Navigator and compare it to the results of each of his
opponents. If the Navigator achieves more degrees of success,
the opponent suffers 1d10+ the Navigator’s Willpower bonus
in Energy damage. This damage is not reduced by armour or
Toughness Bonus. Anyone taking damage from this power
is also Stunned for 1 round as they are ripped with agony.
Using this power is taxing and inflicts a level of Fatigue on
the Navigator. If the Navigator fails this Test by one degree of
failure or more, he suffers two levels of Fatigue.

Tracks in the Stars
When a ship travels though either real space or the warp it
leaves a faint trail, the lingering shadow of its warp drive.
Using his third eye, the Navigator can follow this trail across
the stars.

Novice: Using Perception, the Navigator can track the warp
trail of a ship through real space in the same way as if he was
using the Tracking skill (see page 88). To track a warp trail,
it can be no older than the Navigator’s Perception Bonus in
weeks, although the size and power of the vessel involved
may mitigate this.

Stacking The Deck
Navigators, by their training, are taught the basics of starship
naval combat. Navigators are also able to perceive flickering
shadows of possible future events. By peering into the streams
of time and space and studying the currents and eddies of the
warp, the Navigator can attempt to position his vessel for a
more optimum firing solution, angle it such a way that the
ship’s armour is able to better deflect an incoming attack, or
even point the ship in the best direction for a tactical retreat.

Novice: The Navigator makes a Difficult (–10) Perception
Test. If the Test succeeds, he may add his Intelligence Bonus
x5 to any Manoeuvre Action or single Ballistic Skill Test to
fire the starship’s guns.
