Eugenios Phistinius the Ward

Progenmius of the Schola of Our Lord Solar on Macharia.

Scrivener Adept of His Lord Inquisitor Aegidius Halikarn.

Description

A heavy-set man in his early 30s. Bald and pale, maltreated through years of artificial lightes, exposed to the bone dry air of Administratum archives. He squints. His hands are calloused by the auto quill and stained with inks.

His disposition varies, while obsequious towards superiors, he is demanding, demeaning, and short-tempered with subordinates. He takes painns to dress and behave as to underscore his current rank.

Raised a foundling, named by the Schola after assorted imperial saints by his Adeptus Ministorum keepers. The identity of an orphan further followed him through his early career as a scrivener at the Adeptus Administratum, attaching to him permanently the moniker Ward.

Right-handed.

Eugenios wrote the book The word of Saint Eugenios the Incandescent. So furious was the passion with thich he penned his work that anyone reading aloud from it is liable to sugger terribl burns as the very words ignire in their mouth. Only the most pious or strong-willed can read from The Word without injury.

Phistinius is a revered imperial saint of the Ecclesiarchy. A common Imperial proverb associated with Phistinius is “And Saint Phistinius went unto the enemu unarmed and unarmored.”

Writing kit

These basic kits are ideal where technology is unrealiable or where foul machine spirits dominate and interactions with them are suspect. Each has a parchment, quill, ink, and other items for recording information to be kept away from purging data sniffers and comm leaches, and stored in a manner more perminent than most technololgies allow.

• Each writing kit contains the necessities for several dozen pages of penmanship, either by hand or Auto Quill.

Vox bead

Designed to fit inside the user’s ear, these communication tools let someone effortlessly talk to and hear others on the same vox channel. As their range is far beyond shouting and work in situations where shouting would call dangerous attention, they are almost essential for mission outfitting.

• Chronos display the current time and, if the planet supports it, automatically adjust to local time after only a few seconds on the ground.

 

Stub revolver

While the Imperium relies heavily on energy weapons for war, the equally lethal battles in the shadows are often fought with solid projectile weaponry. Stubbers, Autoguns, and shotguns come in a variety of forms and firing modes; stub weapons alone can be seen as single-shot stub revolvers to heavy stubbers, which can only be fired in barely-controlled cascades of bullets.

Knife

Weapons, Knife, Staff, Sword, Unarmed, Whip. Though these weapons pre-date the Imperium itself by untold millennia, their simple designs and dependable nature makes them favourites for many warriors. Most are simple tools of metal or wood, shaped with deadly purpose, others feature strange materials, ceremonial ornamentations, or other outstanding features.

Robes

The widest category of armour, this can include everything from the hand-made vests of lower-hive heavies to the armaplas rad-shielded plates worn by mechanised followers of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Similarly, their costs range from the inexpensive robes of Imperial servants to those made from the hides of rare beasts imported from distant worlds.
