Personality: Leal is very direct and practical. He long ago learned the technique of stopping his emotions and focusing only on battle, which is paramount to his defense inside the warp, and that shows in his logical, cold personality. He is not without his zeal however, which is of course for the prosperity of humanity and to uphold the will of the late emperor for all eternity. Protecting human kind from chaos is practically an obsession to him, as it is to all his brethren. Like them, he will give anything for the cause and is no stranger to extreme, even questionable measures. He has no intention of going after xenos as long as they pose no threat to humans. He may not like them, but sacrifices must be made in these dark times. The forces of chaos are clearly the greater threat. Leal is somewhat emotionally or mentally attached to his weapon and devoutly meditates on it. 

Bio: For a general history of the Relictors: [url]http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Relictors[/url]

Beaten back by the Grey Knights at the end of the 13th Black Crusade, the few remaining Relictors with Leal retreated into hiding aboard their badly damaged Ramilies-class Starfort within the Eye of Terror. Only 23 were alive in his company at the time, and recovery and regrowth was long. Yet the Relictors were able to preserve their secrets, the techniques they had learned that allowed them to bind grater daemon souls into their weapons. Not a single one of their marines has yet fallen to the corruption inherent in such risky endeavor, which yields the most powerful warriors against chaos that the Imperium has ever known. 

They traveled space, engaging the enemy wherever it threatened humanity, even joining battles that were already ongoing against the demons to assure a space marine victory. Yet, having been declared renegades and excommunicated, they were always on the run from the Inquisitors. 

Now, in the 51st millennium, the empire is fragmented. Man has turned against man, and the edicts of his venerable decree have been forgotten. The High Council is no more. The Inquisition, the Astra Miliratum, no one can reach far enough to enforce anything, and thus they in essence cease to exist. Fortunately, the Relictors had been operating on their own for a long time, and have maintained their order and practices. Although travel has been gravely slow, they have recently managed to secure a small section of space and protect it. Uninhibited by other Astartes, they have reclaimed their homeworld for recruiting and now stand at about 100. They mourn most effectively by continuing to carry out the late Emperor's eternal will. 

It was during one such battle when the Relictors had found and joined an isolated chapter of the Sister Sororitas to aid them that Leal Lettore acquired his unique weapon and proved himself worthy of the unexpectedly opened position of captain. A shift in the activity of the warp nearby had caused the immaterium to bulge too close to a local world. Demons invaded and psychic chaos erupted. Half of the Sisters had become corrupted and had turned on the other half. A living saint manifested and immediately became the target of a losing battle. The saint was slain. Upon her final death, her fused soul lingered. This was probably due to the disturbance in the warp that had persisted since the death of the emperor and creation of the Star Father. Leal was stricken with a sudden and possibly very heretical idea; he bound the angelic soul into his relicblade. Doing this created a weapon of such unfathomable power that the forces of chaos were driven from the world before him. Peace was re-established.

Old tensions between the Sisters Sororitas and the Relictors still smoldered however, and the Relictors soon moved on after restocking their supplies. It is some time after these events that Captain Lettore and his starfort entered Georgian space. He seeks to increase his ship's mobility, garner a few ships, and get any information he can about the state of humanity in this nightmarish future. 

Forces: 1 still very damaged starfort, [i]Imperius Immemoriam[/i]. A dozen gunships/dropships. 113 Relictor space marines, including 1 captain. Daemonweapons. Support crew that have joined them along the way.

Allegiance to Gregori: Gregori may or may not be all that he claims. Negotiations with him are with respect and honor. Desperate times do call for desperate measures, but we are not throwing the Lexicanum out the window. He is a means to an end, and that end is rebuilding the empire, but all intentions must be pure. Trade with mercenaries and Xenos is accepted as necessary to maintain a fighting force and to protect human kind. Gregori is of course human, an ally to this end, and a source of information. One day, warp travel will be made possible again, and the Imperium of Man will be restored. 

The Relictors have given Gregory a standing offer to respond to any and all chaos threats within Gregorian space. 


[hider=Personal equipment]
Leal is a battle-psyker and can use force weapons should he acquire one.

Leal has incorporated and modified a few parts of the more advanced Grey Knight Aegis Terminator armor into his own Relictor tactical dreadnought armor to improve its psychic protection. These parts have internal layers inscribed with prayers and runes that improve warding against psychic attack, plus the Aegis armor is lighter in weight and affords slightly more mobility. (Where did he get this? Long ago from dead Grey Knights after their attack on the Relictor starfort.) The front chest of his armor has a large winged skull, and his shoulders bear the Relictor symbols. A red cloak denotes his rank and location to his men. His armor is also equipped with a standard teleport homer.

Angelic Relicblade - This is a daemonweapon, but the bound soul within it is instead a fragment of the dead emperor's soul that had belonged to the Sisters Sororitas. It escaped being consumed during the birth of the Star Father. The sword burns with white flames even at rest, its aura unquenchable. It speaks with the voice of the Saint that it once was.
