Name- Gravius of house Pemelton
Age: 328 Terran years
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Navigator mutant)
Appearance: Gravius is a Navigator of increasing age, his hair has grayed and wrinkles have formed on his face, though he stands straight and tall. Long years spent on star ships have given him pale gray skin.
His eyes are all blue, though his warp eye has begun darkening as he has grown in age and power. His face is clean shaven, his eyebrows are thin and well trimmed. The hair on his head is curiously cut, the sides are largely shaved but the hair on top has been kept thick, his long bangs are brushed to the left side of his face. His teeth are white and similarly well cleaned.
Gravius is around 5'10, being just below average height. His body is healthy, and he cuts a more imposing figure than most Navigators. He wears a thick robe with sleeves and hood the color of gold with a silver border, and whose body is black. These are the colors of the Navis Nobilite House Pemelton. He carries a Navigator staff at all times, and beneath the folds of his robes he carries an ornate auto-pistol in a Red leather holster that hangs at his waste. The sleeves also both have a row of imperial skulls just above the edge of the sleeves.
His face is most often either serious or scowling, the closes to a smile is a look of smug certainty. The man is rarely seen smiling, his job being what it is.
Personality: Gravius is an intensely proud and bombastic man, raised up from birth and taught of his innate superiority to the common man. Utterly infatuated with his own abilities, Gravius takes little criticism of his work often flying off the handle if someone doubts his skill or mental fortitude. He is so completely absorbed in his own inflated sense of self importance that he often overlooks the work of others, and ignores any part of a ships running but his own personal task. He sees his job as Navigator as a sort of ultimate or holy work, which lends him to take it extremely seriously, some would say a bit to seriously. He often considers ordinary crew to be little more than annoying necessities, who are utterly beneath his notice so long as they don't get in his way.
History: Gravius was not born like most men in the Imperium. He was no hive worker's son, nor was he a planetary noble or Imperial guard officer's son. Gravius was born a Navigator forever set apart from his fellow man, a fact he has been reminded of everyday of his life. From the day he was born on Terra Gravius's path in life was determined, his role in the Imperium decided because of the eye in the center of his forehead. As soon as he could talk Gravius was taught that he was different from regular humans, different and superior. A Navigator's holy mission is to guide the ships of the Imperium through the immaterium, using the brilliant beacon of the Astronomicon to safely steer a ship through the warp.
Gravius was a talented student, and mastered the basic skills a Navigator must have at age 27, and at the age of 38 he embarked on his first ship. House Pemelton has many connections amongst imperial trade, and Gravius guided many prestigious merchants and their cargo through the warp. Though his temper got the best of him often, and he looked down on all who were not Navigators, he was an exceptional Navigator. And so it went for about a century, and could have remained that way... had Gravius not stumbled on to something terrible.
Near the beginning of his second century of distinguished service Gravius stumbled upon a mysterious string of payments between house Pemelton and several more unscrupulous and suspicious individuals. For the better part of a century Gravius followed the paper trail, quietly gathering information and investigating connections to his house. As he delved further and further into the rabbit hole the terrible truth began to dawn on him, house Pemelton was quietly and secretly supporting the agents of Chaos! Gravius no longer knew who he could trust, so he doubled back, following the intricate trail of illicit secret meetings and less than upstanding deals, until he found who he believed to be the center of it all.
The Navigator who Gravius believed was in charge of the operation was a well known and highly respected man. Gravius decided to confront him personally and in private for fear of bringing the house under investigation by outside forces. When confronted the other Navigator denied Gravius's accusations vehemently, and even assaulted Gravius's own merit as a Navigator, claiming that the warp had softened his mind. Gravius flew into a rage, and what had begun as a quiet affair turned into a deadly Navigator duel. Gravius slew the other man, utterly convinced that he was in the right. Gravius was apprehended by other Navigators of house Pemelton and brought before the Novator for trial.
It was decided that Gravius was to skilled a Navigator for him to simply be killed, so it was decided that in order for the name of House Pemelton to remain unblemished Gravius was exiled. He was sent to the Kronos expanse, for no one believed his tale of heretics, for how could such a man as the one Gravius had killed fallen to chaos? He was seno off, considered a mad man by his own house.
Since then, Gravius has joined the crew of the Rouge trader Horatio Drake. Only recently has he joined the man's crew, and now they move for the Kronus expanse to aquire more men and women for Drake's crew.
