    Born on the hive world of Armageddon in the year 933 M41, Naltherion was 8 years old at the start of The Second War for Armageddon (941 M41).

    After being saved from being swept up in an Ork wave attack being stood off by stalwart members of the Salamanders space marine chapter, Naltherion made his way back to a refugee camp for displaced citizens, where millions saught refuge.

Being a psyker Naltherion's ideology is more towards the radical moral compass for an Inquisitor instead of the Puritan ideology. He does see the advantage in learning from certain Xenos technologies, and even utilizing them if it allows him to protect the Imperium more efficiently. But at the same time he has little patience for xenos, especially the more savage or "bestial" sorts, such as Orks or Tyranids, feeling the only way to deal with them is to put them down. Other more sentient or sophisticated xenos such as Eldar, or Tau, he is not above having discourse with prior to determining if violence is required.

Xenos tolerated? Traded with? Given free roam of a city? (Albeit monitored). This is the exact danger that he has spent his life preparing to face and thwart.
 
      In his early career, Natherion was forced into hand to hand with the monstrosity called a Purebred Genetealer. That day Naltherion lost his left arm below the elbow as he lifted it in a futile effort to ward off the blow that ruined the upper right quarter of his head and face. It is from this battle that Natherion gained his Signature black cybernetic left forearm and hand, and the black skull plate that covers the right side of his face from above the ear around to his nose with his glowering baleful red cybernetic eye. From this day on His enemies called him the Blackhand of the Emperor.
As for his interactions with the citizens of the Imperium, it is simple, if you are tainted, be it by the ruinous powers or genetically, you are beyond salvation, man; woman; or child, and must be put down. If you are not tainted, yet are guilty of betrayal or treason, you have a choice, relocation to an Ordo Hereticus re-education camp where they will determine your ultimate fate; or execution in the name of the Emperor's mercy, there by his hand. Those are their 2 options.

Naltherion Kane

Naltherion Kane, the Blackhand of the Emperor: an Ordo Xenos inquisitor with personal mission records and a network of contacts.

Imperial Personnel file: Omega Inquisitus 269A

  • Name: Naltherion Kane
  • Alias: The Blackhand of the Emperor
  • Born: 933 M41
  • Location: Armageddon
  • Current Ordo: Xenos

Psychprofile

Being a psyker Naltherion's ideology is more towards the radical moral compass for an Inquisitor instead of the Puritan ideology. He does see the advantage in learning from certain Xenos technologies, and even utilizing them if it allows him to protect the Imperium more efficiently. But at the same time he has little patience for xenos, especially the more savage or "bestial" sorts, such as Orks or Tyranids, feeling the only way to deal with them is to put them down. Other more sentient or sophisticated xenos such as Eldar, or Tau, he is not above having discourse with prior to determining if violence is required.

As for his interactions with the citizens of the Imperium, it is simple, if you are tainted, be it by the ruinous powers or genetically, you are beyond salvation, man; woman; or child, and must be put down. If you are not tainted, yet are guilty of betrayal or treason, you have a choice, relocation to an Ordo Hereticus re-education camp where they will determine your ultimate fate; or execution in the name of the Emperor's mercy, there by his hand. Those are their 2 options.

Background

Born on the hive world of Armageddon in the year 933 M41, Naltherion was 8 years old at the start of The Second War for Armageddon (941 M41). This would have a profound impact on his life, as seeing the stark brutality of the Ork Waaaghh only served to reinforce his holy emperor’s edict of suffer not the alien to live.

After being saved from being swept up in an Ork wave attack being stood off by stalwart members of the Salamanders space marine chapter, Naltherion made his way back to a refugee camp for displaced citizens, where millions saught refuge. It is here that Naltherion determined to be a force against the endless waves of aliens threatening the imperium.

This was easy to do as the inquisition had many agents within the refugee camps rooting out any sympathizers or heretics. It was then that he met a low level inquisitor named Mordekai Gromph. This is when his life changed as after making himself useful to the inquisitor, when he departed the world, he took Naltherion with him, indoctrinating him into the ways of the inquisition and making him his apprentice. Even having him go through intensive gene splicing and chemical treatments to open the latent psychic abilities in his mind to be of even more use to the imperium.

58 years later, and Naltherion is now his own Inquisitor, with his own contacts and networks. As a member of the Ordo Xenos, the situation on Archimedes IV has caught his attention. Xenos tolerated? Traded with? Given free roam of a city? (Albeit monitored). This is the exact danger that he has spent his life preparing to face and thwart.

In his early career, Naltherion was forced into hand to hand with the monstrosity called a Purebred Genetealer. That day Naltherion lost his left arm below the elbow as he lifted it in a futile effort to ward off a vicious blow from the Xenos that ruined his right eye. It is from this battle that Naltherion gained his Signature black cybernetic left forearm and hand, and his glowering, baleful red cybernetic eye. From this day on His enemies called him the Blackhand of the Emperor.
