| '''Lady-Captain Autokrator Hermione Durovera, Sector Governor of the Prosperitas Sector''' is the holder of the Durovera Warrant of Trade and sister of former Sector Governor Armelius Durovera. Scandalised the Sector in 569.M41 when she took the Warrant and departed to make her fortunes in the Rimward Marches. Notable for her return, in 592, at the head of an Imperial Expeditionary Fleet following rumors of some great religious revelation or holy artefact discovered in the Rimward Marches, after which she left the Sector on pilgrimage to Holy Terra. Her flagship is the Mercury-class battlecruiser ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector#Will of Iron|Will of Iron]]''. | | '''Lady-Captain Autokrator Hermione Durovera''' is the Sector Governor of the Prosperitas Sector and holder of the Durovera Warrant of Trade. |

|
| At the end of 593 she returned to the Sector supported by several gathered elements of out-sector Imperial forces including a cadre of Adeptus Astartes from the [[Void Hounds]] Chapter. Her forces launched a surprise attack on, and subsequent occupation of, [[Duroverum]]. This coup attempt saw her lay claim to the titles she previously renounced in 569 and sparked a short-duration civil war in the Sector. After securing her title as Sector Governor with the death of her brother and the assent of the High Lords of Terra, Hermione made a play to claim the role of Warmaster too - but was snubbed by the High Lords, who instead supported [[Prosperitas_Dramatis_Personae#Warmaster Sarina Khan|Sarina Khan]] to take the post. This is a slight that the Sector Governor has not forgotten, and she remains ever waiting for opportunities to secure power.

| Many fear that, as a Rogue Trader first, and a Governor second, Hermione wishes to see the Prosperitas Sector become a frontier haven for her kind with herself as a self-styled 'Pirate Queen' taking tribute from those Rogue Traders that operate in the region.

|
| '''Armelius Durovera [deceased 594.M41]''' was head of House Durovera and Sector Governor. Never intended to inherit, he was thrust into the position in 569.M41 when his sister Hermione, the Heir, took the family’s Warrant of Trade and House Fleet but refused the Governorship. Initially dismissed as inept and unprepared for the position, Armelius’ fortunes appeared to change in 586, when, after surviving an assassination attempt, he successfully appealed to the High Lords of Terra for the position of Warmaster; he was confirmed in this position in 589.
| | ==== [[House di Firro]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| Armelius' rise to power was rapid and marked with a turn towards a ‘peace doctrine’ which restricted the advance of the Crusade and ensured the safety of Imperial citizens and holdings in the sector. After a second assassination attempt in 593 which claimed the lives of much of the senior staff of the Crusade, the Warmaster entered seclusion, rumored to be suffering extensive injuries. He remained absent in late 593 when Hermione seized control of his House and Duroverum, with his flagship the ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector|Word of Despite]]'' passing to a key ally, [[Prosperitas_Dramatis_Personae#Marshal-Protector Drusilla Vox|Drusilla Vox]] of the [[Adeptus Arbites]]. In 594 he died aboard the ''St Sanguinius'', in front of a number of witnesses, during the tragic events there, officially ending his rule.

|
| | '''Scion-Heir Charon di Firro''', named heir in 594.M41, is the widower of Octavia's son Lucius. |

| |
|
| ==== [[House di Firro]] ====
| | '''Lucius di Firro [deceased 582.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s son. He died during the [[Caudica|Caudican Exterminatus]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''Lady-Captain Octavia di Firro''' is the holder of the Di Firro Warrant of Trade. Octavia di Firro is one of the oldest Rogue Traders currently active within the Prosperitas Sector and is a savage foe to any who wrong her or her family. Highly respected and feared by the other Sector Nobility she is notably vicious and pragmatic as a Captain, and has played a large part in securing the destiny and wealth of her House. During the House conflicts of 593, Lady-Captain Octavia cemented her House’s control over Subsector Secundus and the Prosperitas Trade Spine, including seizing control of [[Kydos]] from [[House Vilas-Lobo]]. She has declined to ally clearly with either [[House Durovera]] or [[House Vilas-Lobo]] in their contest for control of the Sector. | | '''Anoretta di Firro [deceased 564.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s youngest daughter. She was killed during a boarding action against pirates. |
|
| |
|
| Her flagship, the ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector|Exile of the Void]]'', is an unnecessarily fast Orion-class star clipper.
| | '''Servilia di Firro [deceased 593.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s eldest daughter. She died leading civilian volunteer forces at [[Polarnus]]. |
|
| |
|
| Lady-Captain di Firro has suffered a series of tragedies in recent years, losing all three of her adult children – Lucius, Servilia and Anoretta. This has led to her making an unusual decision, as she has no blood heirs. She has adopted Charon di Firro (né Jensch), her late son Lucius' husband, as her heir-designate.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Scion-Heir Charon Di Firro''', unexpectedly nominated heir in 594.M41, is the widower of Octavia's son Lucius. The Scion-Heir is a member of a long-serving line of the Battlefleet’s void-aristocracy and is reported to have quite the history as a Naval Officer despite his apparent youth. The Scion-Heir has yet to make a formal society debut.
| | ==== [[House Majid]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| '''Lucius di Firro [deceased 582.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s son. He attracted some scandal by eloping with a military officer in the early 550s and neglecting his duties as House Heir. He wrote a renowned series of journals about his exploits across the Sector. These were collected and published as the Travel Diaries of Lucius di Firro, still popular to this day with pilgrims and tourists. He died during the Caudican Exterminatus in 582.M41, leaving the Lady-Captain in mourning for over a decade. | | '''Lady-Captain Amira Majid''' is the current head of House Majid with a renowned history in the [[Imperial Navy]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''Anoretta di Firro [deceased 564.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s youngest daughter. She distinguished herself fighting as part of the House Fleet in engagements against pirates at the edge of Imperial territory, and was tragically killed during a boarding action in 564.M41. | | '''Lady Septima Majid''' is Amira's wife and right hand. |
|
| |
|
| '''Servilia di Firro [deceased 593.M41]''' was Lady-Captain Octavia’s eldest daughter. She was the most recent Heir to the House until her heroic death leading civilian volunteer forces defending Polarnus from Archenemy incursion in 593.M41. | | '''Lady-Captain Khadija Majid [deceased 594.M41]''', previous holder of the House Majid Warrant of Trade, died defending [[Olethros Secunda]] during its evacuation. |
|
| |
|
| | '''Scion Erydia Majid''', Amira and Septima's daughter, is a hunted renegade, held responsible for the House's fall from grace. |
|
| |
|
| ==== [[House Majid]] ====
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Lady-Captain Amira Majid''' is the current head of House Majid. She is the niece of Lady-Captain Khadija Majid, and former lead Void-Mistress of House Majid’s combat and trade protection forces. Amira was known as her aunt’s right hand when it came to void engagements and is well-renowned for a storied history in the Imperial Navy, where she earned the rank of Commodore. She is known for being a ruthless woman, not afraid of the lash or the bolt-pistol when it comes to disciplining those beneath her, but she is well respected by her crews. | | ====[[House Roshan-Fikran]]==== |
| | |
| | '''Abichael Roshan-Fikran''' is the ageing head of House Roshan-Fikran. She has no declared heir. |
| | |
|
| |
|
| Her wife '''Septima''' is known to be a gentler soul and presents outwardly as a kinder woman than her wife, though there are numerous rumours that she is as ruthless as her wife, and her enemies often vanish before they can threaten her family. Although Lady-Captain Amira now leads House Majid, the couple bear the weight of the shame for the destruction of their House's fortune. The renegade Scion of the House, Erydia, who unleashed a techno-viral attack that devastated the entire House Majid fleet in orbit of their vassal Agri World [[Midsummer]], is their own child.
| | ==== [[House Ruttyer]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| Both women have sworn to bringing their child to justice. Their flagship was the Dauntless Mk2-Class light cruiser ''Fort Briggs'', one of the few ships able to escape the destruction of the House Majid fleet by their child, but since its sacrifice at Oletheros Secunda along with Lady-Captain Khadija, they have commanded the Majid flagship, the Cardinal-class heavy cruiser ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector|Torchbearer]]''.
| | '''Lord Gaedren Ruttyer''' is Head of House Ruttyer, known throughout the Sector as ‘The Rat King’. |
|
| |
|
| '''Lady-Captain Khadija Majid [deceased 594.M41]''' was once holder of the House Majid Warrant of Trade. Khadija was generally considered to be a warmer and easier individual to work with - a canny and careful operator who built her wealth on as many trade deals with Sector factions as she did from exploiting the Imperial frontier. However, when House Majid fortunes were utterly devastated in a betrayal by their own, she survived by sheer tenacity, and led her ships in a hunt for the renegade Scion behind the attack. Her vengeance was never achieved, as the Lady-Captain gave her life protecting refugees evacuating from the Imperial colony of [[Olethros Secunda]]. | | '''Governor Axelus Ruttyer''' is the Governor of [[Letifer Secundus]], the son of Gaedren Ruttyer and the current heir to the House. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| ====[[House Roshan-Fikran]]==== | | ==== [[House Vilas-Lobo]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| '''Abichael Roshan-Fikran''' is the head of House Roshan-Fikran. Her kindly and maternal demeanour hides a terrifying intellect. She sponsors many academies and Scholae which take in bright children from poor backgrounds and give them an Imperial education. She has no declared heir and has publicly stated that the House title will pass to any Scion clever enough to defeat her at Regicide two games out of three. None have achieved this so far in forty years of trying. Publicly drawn into the fold alongside the Autokrator in the House conflicts of 593, House Roshan-Fikran have found their fortunes on the rise as Lady-Captain Hermione has favoured the House’s educators over the seminary of [[St Sebastian’s Redoubt]]. | | '''Dominatus Śikārī (Si-ka-ri) Vilas-Lobo''' is the Master of House Vilas-Lobo. |
|
| |
|
| | '''Governor Mindinha Vilas-Lobo''' is the Planetary Governor of [[Bachian IV]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==== [[House Ruttyer]] ====
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Lord Gaedren Ruttyer''' is Head of House Ruttyer. Known throughout the Sector as ‘The Rat King’, he has thoroughly coopted the term, initially intended as an insult. At nearly three hundred years of age Gaedren has quite literally built an Empire out of trash and salvage, ruthlessly bringing most of the Waste Collection Guilds in the Prosperitas Sector under the influence of his House and ensuring the successful installment of his son, Axelus, as the Governor of the poison-world [[Letifer Secundus]]. It is constantly rumored that Gaedren is well aware of the suspicions of criminal activity and smuggling carried out by the ships of the family fleet and that the ‘Rat King’ sits at the center of a verminous criminal empire hidden behind a charter of Nobility. Those who openly make such accusations often fall afoul of bad luck, and no [[Arbites]] investigation into Gaedren has ever successfully led to a prosecution.
| | ==== [[House Volkov]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| It is said that the ‘Rat King’ has no friends amongst the nobility, and that is largely true; the deformed, pale, figure of the voidborn Master of House Ruttyer is shamelessly unkempt in public and notoriously miserly towards his extensive family. His ship is the Trancier-class hyperhauler waste barge ''[[Ships of Note of the Prosperitas Sector|Diamond of Prosperitas]]''.
| | '''Lord-Governor Emrys Volkov''' is the hereditary “Lord of [[Midsummer]]” and head of House Volkov. |
|
| |
|
| Lord Gaedren has remained aloof from the conflicts between the various Houses, publicly declaring the Rat House unwilling to accept the authority of the [[Di Firro]], [[Durovera]] or [[Vilas-Lobo]] “Petty Regents” and choosing instead to play all three to continue to gain power.
| | '''Cafall Volkov''' is Emrys’s only surviving son and the sole heir to the House. |
|
| |
|
| '''Governor Axelus Ruttyer''' is the Governor of [[Letifer Secundus]] and the son of Gaedren Ruttyer. The most favoured of Gaedren’s sixteen children, he was selected to be his father’s right hand on Letifer when the House won rulership of the planet via Axelus’ marriage a lady of a lesser Noble House. Considered much like his father in temperament, Axelus is nonetheless better presented then his father and carries with him an air of nobility that the Rat King lacks, the product of several years of Collegia education. As a result, Axelus is often viewed as the ‘face’ of House Ruttyer, and represents his father where intimidation will not suffice in the place of more civilized nobility. | | '''Morwen Volkov''' is Emrys' only daughter. |
|
| |
|
| Though he has many siblings, Axelus is the current heir to the House and possesses three daughters and three sons educated in the manner of the House and the Praefectus Imperialis. He is, however, the only non-fleetbound Ruttyer, as the job of retaining order on [[Letifer Secundus]] takes his full attention.
| | '''Boyar Angharad Volkov''' is Emrys’ youngest sister and commands the House's new trade fleet, often seen at the Court of the Autokrator on [[Duroverum]]. |
|
| |
|
| | '''Boyar Bronwen Volkov,''' Lady of Firstlanding, is Emrys’ sister. |
|
| |
|
| ==== [[House Vilas-Lobo]] ====
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Dominatus Śikārī (Si-ka-ri) Vilas-Lobo''' is the Master of the House of Jackals. Śikārī, like most of the House, has been subject to accusations of genetic subversion since he was first decanted from a Vilas-Lobo genevat. A reclusive figure, raised by his family on the rigs surrounding Bachian IV, Śikārī ascended to the rank of Master of the House in 582.M41 when he killed his predecessor in one of the infamous blood duels of the House, after deeming his predecessor to be weakening the House. Since becoming the leader of the House of Jackals, Śikārī has expanded the House’s interests and fortunes beyond its mining and fleshtrading interests, building an impressive fleet capable of competition with the more trade-focused Houses, and winning lucrative access to the Forges of [[Naximus Prime]], the first Imperial House in five hundred years to successfully do so.
| | ==== [[House Caerlyn]] and [[House Palamyr]] ==== |
|
| |
|
| Lord Śikārī is known for being a ruthless creature, a requirement of all Vilas-Lobo Scions should they wish to survive the relentless internal purges of the House, and to date has staved off multiple assassination attempts, including three from his own daughters. With the ongoing civil war between the Houses of the Prosperitas Sector following Hermione Durovera’s coup of her House, Lord Śikārī has been ferocious in asserting power over the trailing regions of Subsector Tertius and Subsector Primus, positioning his House as one of the strongest challengers to [[House Durovera]] gaining dominance and taking the title of ‘Dominatus’ in the process.
| | '''Baron Peyton Caerlyn''' is head of House Caerlyn and husband of Ysabella Palamyr, locked in a war with her House since the unfortunate events surrounding their betrothal earlier in the century. |
|
| |
|
| '''Governor Mindinha Vilas-Lobo''' is the Planetary Governor of [[Bachian IV]]. Mindinha has struggled against local agitation within the abhuman workforce of the planet. As the sixth Governor of the planet in a decade she is aware of the dangers of controlling the lucrative mining world for her House. Insurgent workers may kill her if she treads wrong; if she fails at her duties it is just as likely that the Master of the House of Jackals will expect her to fall on her sword (quite literally). | | '''Baroness Ysabella Palamyr''' is head of House Palamyr and wife of Peyton Caerlyn. Forced to commit familicide and slaughter a number of her family compromised by malign influence, Ysabella assumed control of House Palamyr at a young age. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| ==== [[House Volkov]] ====
| | === [[Navis Nobilite]] === |
|
| |
|
| '''Lord-Governor Emrys Volkov''' is the hereditary “Lord of [[Midsummer]]”, titular Regent of that planet and the head of the local Ecclesiastical sect the ‘Harvest Cult’, Emrys has a reputation as a plain and just ruler, and a steady and reasonable voice when called upon. The Lord of Midsummer was catapulted to unexpected power in 593.M41 when the near destruction of House Majid resulted in his House – formerly the vassal house Volkov-Majid – gaining the vast majority of the Majids’ abandoned assets and being declared a major House in its own right. | | '''Novator Caius Solon''' is head of the Navigator [[House Solon]]. Unusually, he is often found mingling among the nobility on [[Duroverum]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''Cafall Volkov''' is Emrys’s only surviving son after tragic events on [[Midsummer]] in 593.M41, Cafall is a renowned huntsman known previously amongst Sector nobility for arranging hunting-lodge stays on his homeworld for others. He has been catapulted to prominence alongside his father as the sole heir of the House; he shares the spotlight with his youngest sister Morwen, of whom he is famously defensive. Boisterous and rugged, he cuts an unusual figure amongst Sector nobility. | | '''Novator Sereaus de Sousa''' is the head of the Navigator [[House de Sousa]]. The family teeters on the brink of extinction after the loss of two of her children. |
|
| |
|
| '''Morwen Volkov''' is Emrys' only daughter. Morwen was raised as a sheltered child; however, after the traumatic events of 593.M41 where she lost two of her brothers, the young Scion took to the fields of her homeworld, seeking to heal the damage done by the riots. A landskeeper of some talent, she is revered by the local peasantry, despite not seeking temporal power in her homeworld's Harvest Cult. | | '''Lady Anwyeth Alil''' arrived at the head of a Paternovan envoy in 595.M41 and has quickly established the cadet [[House Alil-Máta]]'s branch in the Prosperitas Sector. |
|
| |
|
| '''Boyar Angharad Volkov''' is Emrys’ youngest sister. Perhaps the most outward-looking of a family known for being somewhat technophobic, Angharad has taken readily to control of the House’s new trade fleet granted by House Durovera and spends a goodly amount of time on Duroverum representing the House in political matters at the court of the Lady-Captain Autokrator.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Boyar Bronwen Volkov,''' Lady of Firstlanding, is Emrys’ sister. Said to have a fascination with agricultural experimentation and environmental planning, she is the Boyar of the culturally significant settlement which acts as the spiritual home of Midsummer and a popular site for pilgrims.

|
| '''Baron Peyton Caerlyn''' is head of House Caerlyn and husband of Ysabella Palamyr, locked in a war with her House since the unfortunate events surrounding their betrothal earlier in the century. The Baron Caerlyn commands a considerable and effective House Guard, and is well renowned for his service in the 12th [[Merewald]] Regiment of Foot ‘The Gladewardens’ of the [[Imperial Guard]] prior to his ascension to head of his House. | | '''Governor Alice [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#House Dunkeld|Dunkeld]] [missing since 594.M41]''' is the Planetary Governor of [[Lerwick]]. |

| '''Baroness Ysabella Palamyr''' is head of House Palamyr and wife of Peyton Caerlyn. Forced to commit familicide and slaughter a number of her family compromised by malign influence, Ysabella assumed control of House Palamyr at a young age. Her House is renowned for holding powerful secrets on the other Houses of the Prosperitas Sector, and rumoured to control an extensive spy network. Having eloped with her husband against the wishes of both their Houses, she remains in a precarious position because she still refuses to take his name and leave the ruling of her House to join his. Inexplicably, she manages to put down every single potential threat to her before they arise. | | '''Lord Governor Egon [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#House Gaudin|Gaudin]]''' was the Planetary Governor of [[Butonia]] until his [[Sector_Report_X#++_Current_Affairs_++|death]] in 597.M41. |

|

|
| '''Novator Caius Solon''' is head of the Navigator [[House Solon]]. Well known amongst high society on the Sector capital [[Duroverum]], Novator Solon is a rare type to mingle outside the seclusion of the Navigator’s quarter. More powerful than his House’s only rival, Sereaus de Sousa, Caius enjoys a near-monopoly over the provision of Navigators to the vessels of the Imperium in the Prosperitas Sector – and has a reputation as an affable, if unsettlingly shaped man. He has a habit of wearing masks to hide his warped features, the hereditary result of his Navigator breeding. | | '''Count Bhaltair Stirling''' is the former General of the [[Kirkcud]] PDF, promoted to leadership of the newly-raised [[Famous_Regiments_of_the_Prosperitas_Crusade#15th_Kirkcud_Foot_Regiment|15th Kirkcud Foot Regiment]] of the Imperial Guard. |
|
| |
|
| '''Novator Sereaus de Sousa''' is the head of the Navigator [[House de Sousa]]. She is an ageing woman well past her prime and wracked with several hereditary diseases, a consequence of the inbreeding of the Navis Nobilite. The Scions of her House are nervous that she is reaching the end of her years, and few of them are prepared for the role, having lost so many senior Navigators to the violence on [[Nivalis]]. Her youngest son Marteus fled the family several years ago, but was later found murdered on [[Monacus]] under suspicious circumstances. The family teeters on the brink of extinction after years of its Scions leaving or marrying into other Houses of the Navis Nobilite. | | '''Governor-General Sebius [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#Van Heth|Van Heth]] [deceased 594.M41]''' was the military Governor of [[Kydos]], killed during the Toll War. |

| '''Governor Catal [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#House Antoni|Antoni]]''' is hereditary Architect-Governor of [[Gaudium]]. He is notoriously hostile to [[House Monforte]], who he blames for his planet’s problems with overcrowding. It is an open secret that he toasted their destruction in 594.M41 with some of the finest vintages in the sector. Following the sack of [[Agrial III]] by [[The Temple|Fidelis Templar]] forces, [[Ecclesiarchy Loyalists]] have flocked to Gaudium to regroup; he has welcomed them in the hope it might raise the status of his world.

After a distinguished career in the Helaerus Reconnaissance Regiment, Chenau was awarded retirement with full honours and the Governorship in lieu of higher command – some mutter that this was a ploy to get her out of [[Crusade High Command]] and far away from her political rivals.

|
| '''Alice [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#House Dunkeld|Dunkeld]] [missing since 594.M41]''' is the Planetary Governor of [[Lerwick]]. Though by law Lerwick is not a feudal world, power almost always falls to a Dunkeld, not least because of their political astuteness and their intimidating grip over their homeworld. Alice comes from an unbroken line of Dunkeld Governors since the planet’s pacification; she is not physically intimidating, but many opponents would think twice before taking her on politically. Her power grew due to a marriage of convenience to her wife, Ingrid, the Archdeacon of Lerwick; they have grown into a formidable power couple, which will likely ensure the unbroken lineage of Dunkeld governors continues. Since the [[Rising Flame]] uprising and Archenemy invasion in 594.M41, Alice Dunkeld has not been seen in public, and she is believed to have gone into hiding as-yet untraced by Imperial forces. | | '''High Warden Jacinta Kreel''' is the current mistress of the Prosperitas Adeptus Astra Telepathica enclave. A non-psyker with extremely prejudiced views towards their population, she has overseen increasing restrictions on their freedoms throughout the sector. |

Amari is rumoured to have ambitions towards an Imperial Charter and full Noble status for their House. They are viewed with a mixture of resentment and intense pride by their subjects; ever since they gained the planetary throne in a freak baccarat accident which killed both their mother and all eligible sibling rivals, they have relentlessly pursued an agenda which puts Monacus first, even at the cost of endangering centuries-old treaties. | | '''Admiral Denita Chandier''' is Commandant and de-facto ruler of [[Polarnus Station]]. |

| '''Warmaster Sarina Khan''' is the Warmaster of the [[Prosperitas Crusade]]. As an Admiral, Khan was a brilliant but eccentric commander, favouring lightning-fast decisions and reversals of strategy to confuse the enemy. Her detractors say that she was promoted too early – she was a Commodore only a few years ago – and that she delegates too much to her subordinates. Her loyal generals and [[Navy]] Captains revel in the freedom she gives them to carry out her missions in whatever way they see fit. | | '''[[The_Mechanicus_Priesthood_of_Ferraeus#Notable_Priests_of_Ferraeus|Archmagos Myrioi-513]]''' is the Fabricator-General of [[Ferraeus]], and is a truly immense augmented being with little flesh remaining upon their bones. |
|
| |
|
| In 595.M41 Khan, styled Warmaster Khan I, was granted the post of Warmaster with the approval of the distant High Lords of Terra. Of native [[Ruwwad]] ethnicity, Khan is the first native of the Sector to hold the title of Warmaster and is considered by many to be too young for the post.
| | '''[[The_Mechanicus_Priesthood_of_Ferraeus#Notable_Priests_of_Ferraeus|Chief Princeps Leks Koenig]]''' leads the [[Legio Ferraeus]] Titan Legion. |
|
| |
|
| Her position is precarious, she has few trustworthy and loyal allies, many of those are of political convenience, and she has her enemies in the form of Traditionalist factions of [[Crusade High Command]] and many other commanders who were once her peers. Worse still, although it is not publicly acknowledged, the [[Nobility]] resent having someone in a position of supreme military power who is not one of them. Though they will court the new Warmaster they will have their knives out for her - none more so than [[House Durovera]], who have taken Terra’s decision as an affront to their honour.

| '''Admiral Ridea Holz''' is the Director of Naval Intelligence. Holz is a shadowy figure. She favours deception and surgical strikes on key [[Archenemy]] command nodes, and has an utterly ruthless dedication to safeguarding the secrecy of her plans and the information security of the Crusade. In person, Admiral Holz is reportedly polite, charming and humble, but the lack of publicly available information on her previous career – coupled with a tendency for her political rivals to suffer embarrassing or lethal accidents – makes her fellow commanders extremely nervous in her company. She is responsible for the eponymous 'Holz Protocol' that implemented military rule on several vital worlds of the Prosperitas Sector. Once a salient commander, she now is the official Director of Naval Intelligence and sits at the side of Warmaster Khan as one of the most powerful commanders in the [[Prosperitas Crusade]]. | | '''[[The_Mechanicus_Priesthood_of_Naximus_Prime#Notable_Priests_of_Naximus|Magos Secutor-Navpati Amytis-yâzdah]]''' is the commander of the war fleet of [[Naximus Prime]]. |

| |
|
| '''Lord-General Militant Ruprecht Janus''' is Aide-de-Camp to the Warmaster. A dogmatic, perfectionist commander, Janus is infamous for poor relations with his officers; he refuses to give them the freedom to act independently, requiring that every minor engagement and routine transport mission is executed to his precise and exacting specifications. He delivers harsh punishments to those found wanting. General Ruprecht’s mother, Heta Janus, was a famous war hero under the previous Warmaster who died while personally leading a suicide charge on an enemy General’s command vehicle. Since being retired from salient Command he has been kept in [[Crusade High Command]] as an 'advisor' - although many know that Warmaster Khan is eager to reassign him away from a command role, perhaps as the commandant of a military academy. | | '''[[The_Mechanicus_Priesthood_of_Naximus_Prime#Notable_Priests_of_Naximus|Aspbed-Princeps Setareh Korrami]]''' currently leads the [[Naximus|Naximan]]-aligned Titan [[Demi-Legio Custodii Incudatem]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''General Adora Astara''' is a senior commander in the Crusade. General Astara made a notable departure when she was under the command of Lord-General Militant Janus by seizing the initiative and pushing the [[Henlock]] front in late 593.M41; the pedantic Lord-General Janus was left fuming at her temerity. Marked by her long blonde hair and broad-shouldered muscular build, Adora is incredibly popular with both [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Imperial Navy]] personnel. She favors the use of a Capitol Imperialis-class landcrawler, the ''Virtutem Gladii'', as her headquarters, maintaining a close presence to the front lines. Since the opening of the Machine War on [[Henlock]] she has earned the favour of Warmaster Khan, who, after seeing her performance, nominated General Astara commander of the [[The_Prosperitas_Crusade_and_High_Command#Cerastes_Salient|Cerastes Salient]] of the Prosperitas Crusade. Inspiring, young, and full of ideas, her good assets are tempered a little by a reputation for being hot-headed and a bit of a technophile - her forces are well-equipped, but some of that technology is untested and dangerous. | | '''[[The_Knight_Houses_of_Anaximund#House_Qureshi|Satrap-Princeps Lalah Qureshi]]''' of [[Anaximund Alpha]] is the leader of House Qureshi and hereditary ruler of [[Anaximund Alpha]]. |

| '''Commodore Haridax Kirill''', the Void Wolf, is a former pirate brought under the wing of Warmaster Khan many years ago. Kirill has a dread reputation among [[The Battlefleet Prosperitas|Naval]] commanders: he is seen as the enforcer of the Warmaster and few dare speak against him, despite his chequered past. Kirill is seen as the long arm of the Warmaster, directing the fighting in the [[The_Prosperitas_Crusade_and_High_Command#Jaculus_Salient|Jaculus Salient]]. He favours, as she does, the same unorthodox tactics that saw her rise so meteorically in the ranks of the Crusade. Many irregular and unusual formations operate under his Salient command, and he has demonstrated his knowledge of the pirate havens and secret passages of the Prosperitas Sector to great effect when leading forces on his Salient.

| '''Vice-Admiral Rycus Frolan''' is a [[The Battlefleet Prosperitas|Naval]] officer of classic breeding, who straddles the line between the Traditionalist factions of the Crusade and the newer philosophies of officers like Warmaster Khan. Frolan fancies himself a warrior-philosopher, and has dedicated his life to revisiting the great works of the Imperial military. Of all the Salient commanders, he is the most ambitious, and would dearly love to be Warmaster one day. By reputation, Frolan favours more traditional troop formations and to him falls the fighting on the [[The_Prosperitas_Crusade_and_High_Command#Hydros_Salient|Hydros Salient]]. Many view Frolan as a compromise appointment; favoured by Traditionalist individuals like Lord-General Militant Janus, he is the Warmaster's one acquiescence to her rivals. | | '''Provost-Marshal Sammias Carrick''' is the current commander of the Arbites in the Prosperitas Sector. |

| '''Colonel Giancarlo Firenze''' is the Hero of [[Persephon IV]]. A native of the once-bountiful Agri-World, the former veterinarian volunteered for the Guard when Waagh! Gazbag descended upon his home planet, and distinguished himself in service as a Medicae over the many years of gruelling war against the [[Orks|Greenskins]]. When Warmaster Armelius Durovera's reticence to engage left Persephon’s forces unsupported, the then-Major spent the wilderness years lobbying [[Crusade High Command]] for further support, culminating in being trapped aboard during the 592-593.M41 siege of [[Polarnus Station]]. With the recovery of artifacts of [[St Leonidas]] of Persephon at the breaking of the siege, Firenze ultimately returned to the planet at the head of a rallied force of the Persephonian diaspora and other faithful citizens. Since them, he has been hailed as a role model of the dutiful Guardsman across the sector, and his face plastered across posters and pict-films to inspire similar deeds of tenacity and virtue. In 595 the Colonel retired from public life, a War Hero to be remembered. | | '''Lady-Marshal Adjoah Sparksmith''' is responsible for the policing of [[Subsector Secundus]]. |

She is currently missing in action, believed killed or captured by [[Weeping Eye]] forces during the Fleet’s disastrous counter-attack during the occupation of [[Polarnus Station]]. | | '''Lord-Marshal Lask Yusuf''' is responsible for the policing of [[Subsector Tertius]]. |

| '''Canoness Asenath Dinah''' is the single most powerful Soror in the Prosperitas Sector, commanding the Sector’s only Convent-Garrison on [[Nivalis]], and having been newly-created as the Head of the [[Order of His Sanguine Tears]]. She is a grizzled, veteran Soror who has lost much in the line of duty, and is more heavily augmented then some lesser members of the [[Machine Cult]]. Initially an ally of Cardinal-Emissarius Grulge, the [[Order of His Sanguine Tears]] was responsible for stabilizing Nivalis and enforcing the Cardinal’s iron rule until his attempted purge of his opponents in the Ecclesiarchy in 593.M41 where she interposed her Sorors between his [[Fidelis Militia]] and his foes in the Priesthood. Since the unmasking of the Cardinal as a heretic, the Canoness and her order have taken rites of penitence in shame for their part in the rise of the so-called Heresiarch.

Initially his death was blamed on non-Imperial elements; however, subsequently, Cardinal Grulge has been accused of masterminding it.

Known for being a friendly, bubbly personality, who sits neatly within the orthodox factions of the Ecclesiarchy, Ingrid is more charming then her wife, relying more on convincing others to her way of thinking than using threats. Since the [[Rising Flame]] uprising and [[Archenemy]] invasion in 594.M41, Ingrid Dunkeld has not been seen in public and is believed to have gone into hiding as-yet untraced by Imperial forces. | | '''Lord-Inquisitor Hektor Aetós of the Ordo Malleus''' arrived in the Prosperitas Sector in 595.M41 to enforce the will of Terra on the Ordos Prosperitas. |

The Archmagos has augmented and expanded their neural capacity to ridiculous levels, forgoing a Fabricator-Locum for operating several independent digital facets of their personality and spreading their biological matter amongst multiple host armatures. Considered highly conservative by their peers, the Archmagos enjoys a close relationship with [[Crusade High Command]] and the Sector Government as the most closely Imperial-loyal Forge in the sector, and the only Forge with a full [[Titan]] Legion at its command. | | '''Lord-Inquisitor Darius Nasser of the Ordo Malleus''' is a reclusive Inquisitor always seen in a mask and green robes. |

| '''Chief Princeps Leks Koenig''' leads the [[Legio Ferraeus]] Titan Legion. A formidable warrior, he is notably arrogant and ambitious. From the control throne of the Warlord ''Deus Imperatrix'' he rules like a petty God-King of ancient times; often overstepping his place in the order of battle to issue orders to allies outside his command chain, he is considered disruptive by many [[Crusade]] officers. | | '''Inquisitor Inanna Zahid of the Ordo Hereticus''' is partly responsible for the Ordos Prosperitas' successful campaign against the Heresiarch, Ignatius Grulge. |

Despite the constant manoeuvring and political sparring with her neighbours on [[Ferraeus]], Lockwood gives the outward appearance of being concerned with nothing more than the spiritual and moral welfare of her charges. | | '''Inquisitor Jean-Luc Valtrois of the Ordo Astartes''' is a newcomer to the Sector, here following sightings of mysterious Astartes-like individuals on Crusade fronts. |

The Magos Secutor-Navpati commands the Naximan Warfleet and holds rank equivalent to an Imperial Admiral. In 593.M41 she was responsible for collaborating with General Adora Astara to launch the Third Battle of [[Henlock]], where her fleet is currently engaged. Her command extends over the forces of [[House Qureshi]] and the [[Demi-Legio Custodii Incudatem]], plus extensive [[Skitarii]] maniples currently deployed on Henlock. It is said she is a terror to behold, her chassis incorporating multiple armaments otherwise forbidden to the Imperium.

Rather, the services of her Knight-House and the food supplied by her world are essential components of the domain claimed by [[Naximus Prime]], and she is afforded great individual political might within the Mechanicus owing to the attempts by other Forges and Imperial Commanders to court her loyalties and gain her support. In any other sector she might simply be dismissed as a minor ruler of an agri-world, but her independence and the Knight-class war machines at her command make her uniquely powerful despite her traditionally servile position within the hierarchy. | | '''Magos Bring-the-Machine-Spirit-To-Rest-and-Then-Arouse-It-Once-More''' is the senior Machine-Adept to the Inquisitiorial Conclave of the Prosperitas Sector. |
