The Virgin Expanse Opertum

Back to The Virgin Expanse Main

The Opertum Dynasty.

Donatus Opertum is the grandson of the man who had originally been given the family warrant, cardinal Pius Opertum, who was a senior member of the Adeptus Ministorum and one of the main contenders for the succession for the office of Ecclesiarch. Pius was outmaneuvered at the last turn and to prevent him from causing trouble he was given a warrant of trade and an old ship. He was a better cleric than a trader and barely managed to make some money. He however did manage to turn his vessel into a floating cathedral and the only planet that he discovered became well versed in their devotion to their Emperor.

Two centuries later it was Donatus who gained the warrant. He is utterly devoted to the Emperor but has more sense of realism and trade than his forefathers. He knows that he needs more resources to convert the heathens. He has ensured that the people in positions of responsibility are more than devoted, he also looks for other capacities.
