| '''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. | | '''Novator Caius Solon''' is head of the Navigator [[House Solon]].

| '''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 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]] flocked to Gaudium to regroup; he welcomed them in the hope it might raise the status of his world.

After a distinguished career in the [[Famous_Regiments_of_the_Prosperitas_Crusade#Helaerus_Reconnaissance_Regiment|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.

| '''Governor 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. | | '''Governor Halina [[Minor_and_Former_Houses_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#House Chenau|Chenau]]''', an elderly but plasteel-tough woman originally from [[Helaerus]], is now the Planetary Governor of [[Macharion CDXI]]. |

| '''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. 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. | | '''Warmaster Sarina Khan''' is the recently-appointed Warmaster of the [[Prosperitas Crusade]]. |
|
| |
|
| 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.

|
| Despite these threats, Khan has done her best to plot and plan a strategy to see the Crusade to victory.

|
| '''Warmaster-Emeritus Dragos Ulian''', the third Warmaster to hold the title, was a legendary commander from the early 300s until the Lash of the Eye devastated Subsector Quartus in [[Timeline_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#300-400.M41|331.M41]]. He vanished along with his flagship, the [[Ships_of_Note_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector|Lion of Terra]], and hundreds of other Imperial vessels lost to the Warp-Storm. Miraculously, both vessel and Warmaster - presumed dead for more than two centuries - were recovered by an Imperial Navy expedition in [[Gazetteer_VII|595.M41]]. Since his recovery, he has acted as an advisor and morale ambassador to Warmaster Khan. His legendary status makes him a touchstone of hope for Crusade forces across the Sector. | | '''Lord-General Militant Ruprecht Janus''' is Aide-de-Camp to the Warmaster, recently retired as a field commander. |
|
| |
|
| '''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]]. | | '''General Adora Astara''' is a senior commander in the Crusade and commander of the [[Cerastes Salient]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''Lord-General Militant Ruprecht Janus''' is Aide-de-Camp to the Warmaster. A dogmatic, perfectionist officer, Janus is infamous for poor relations with his officers; while in command, he refused to give them the freedom to act independently, requiring that every minor engagement and routine transport mission be executed to his precise and exacting specifications. He is known to deliver 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. | | '''Commodore Haridax Kirill''', the Void Wolf, is a former pirate and commander of the [[Jaculus Salient]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''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. Adora is charismatic and 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. | | '''Vice-Admiral Rycus Frolan''' is an ambitious [[The Battlefleet Prosperitas|Naval]] officer and commander of the [[Hydros Salient]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''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. | | '''Admiral Denita Chandier''' is Commandant and de-facto ruler of [[Polarnus Station]]. |
|
| |
|
| '''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. | | '''Colonel-Doctor Giancarlo Firenze''' is the retired Hero of [[Persephon IV]] and a popular propaganda figure. |

| '''Admiral Denita Chandier''' is Commandant and de-facto ruler of [[Polarnus Station]]; she maintains command over the various scattered Crusade elements based there, as well as remnants of Fleet Arm Geryon limping home, defence ships from [[Kydos]] that refused to surrender to [[di Firro]] rule, and many others.

| '''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. | | '''Commissar Demelza Quinn''' is a senior Commissar and the Governor of [[St Sebastian's Redoubt]] since 597.M41. |
|

|
| '''Captain-General Brianna Twine [missing since 592.M41]''' was an aggressive, idealistic commander from old aristocratic stock. She earned her stars as the commander of a Leman Russ tank regiment, and had the reputation for carefree arrogance typical of a senior cavalry officer. 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]].

| '''Commissar Demelza Quinn''' is the Governor of [[St Sebastian's Redoubt]], since orchestrating a rebellion in 597.M41 which overthrew a [[Templar]] occupation led by Arch-Militant Scyre Parnassus. Rumour has it that the Officio Praefectus intend to bestow the rank of Lord Commissar for her prevention of yet another case of potentially devastating corruption of a Schola class by heretical agents.

| '''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.

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.

| '''Fabricator-General Every-Simply-Connected-Closed-Three-Manifold-Is-Homeomorphic-To-The-Three-Sphere Lockwood''' is the Fabricator-General of [[Castellum]]. A pious and efficient Magos, “Three” Lockwood runs her young and vulnerable planet with a canny eye for political advantage. 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.

| '''Magos Secutor-Navpati Amytis-yâzdah''' is an extensively modified Secutor (war-priest) of the [[Naximus|Naximan]] Mechanicum. 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]]. Her command extends over the [[Demi-Legio Custodii Incudatem]] and - in theory - the forces of [[House Qureshi]], plus extensive [[Skitarii]] maniples. It is said she is a terror to behold, her chassis incorporating multiple armaments otherwise forbidden to the Imperium. | | '''[[Explorator_Fleets_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector#Notable_Explorators_of_the_Prosperitas_Sector|Archmagos-Explorator Every-Simply-Connected-Closed-Three-Manifold-Is-Homeomorphic-To-The-Three-Sphere Lockwood]]''' was once the Fabricator-General of [[Castellum]] but following the annexation of the planet by [[Ferraeus]] has become an exile and a powerful figure within the eclectic members of the Explorator fleets. |

A stern veteran of two hundred years of combat, she is aging, and considered to be reaching the end of her service life as she becomes increasingly blended with her God-Machine and it becomes hard to distract her from the manifold. | | '''[[The_Mechanicus_Priesthood_of_Ferraeus#Notable_Priests_of_Ferraeus|Fabricator-Locum Continuity-For-All-Delta-There-Exists-Some-Epsilon-Such-That-If-Y-Lies-Within-Epsilon-Of-X-Then-F-Of-Y-Lies-Within-Delta-Of-F-Of-X Witherick]]''' was "Three" Lockwood's deputy in running [[Castellum]] and has since betrayed her to become the senior Tech Priest upon the world enforcing its recent annexation by Ferraeus. |

| '''Satrap-Princeps Lalah [[House Qureshi|Qureshi]]''' of [[Anaximund Alpha]] is alone amongst the political figures of the Sector's Mechanicus political hierarchy, in that she is not a member of the Priesthood. 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. Since late 594.M41, tensions between House Qureshi and Secutor-Navpati Amytis-yâzdah, with battlefield command beset by personal animus between the two factions. | | '''[[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]]. |

| '''Provost-Marshal Sammias Carrick''' is the current commander of the Arbites in the Prosperitas Sector. He is a ruthless and straightforward leader who made his name as a Regulator on the wild and lawless planet of [[Mawson’s Wake]]. Nearing his second century, the Provost-Marshal has been speaking in wistful terms of retirement for the last decade – it remains to be seen which of the High Marshals will gain sufficient political capital to succeed him. Rumour has it that he finds his full title tedious in the extreme and insists on being addressed as “Chief”, an irreverence that scandalizes his noble peers on [[Duroverum]].

For her heroism on [[Kuatis]], Vox was promoted to the rank of Marshal-Protector.

She is heavily augmented following serious injury while hunting down a raiding gang on [[Helaerus]], and reportedly owes her life and mobility to timely intervention by the [[Cult Mechanicus]].

He made his name putting down a series of brushfire rebellions on [[Amenophis IV]] in the mid-80s.M41. He is popular among the Sector Arbites and a natural leader, but since settling in the Subsector Precinct-Fortress on [[Agrial III]] with his husband and two young children, he has adopted an altogether slower pace of life and seems to show little interest in higher office. | | '''Lord-Marshal Lask Yusuf''' is responsible for the policing of [[Subsector Tertius]]. |

| '''Sharre Ajax''' is the leader of the [[Rising Flame]]. His background has been slowly pieced together over the years – over four decades ago, he was a talented and beloved Military Officer, a ethnic Annwfyn serving in the Defence Forces of his homeworld, Steela, in Subsector Tertius, a minor independent world that had largely escaped Imperial attention until 551.M41 when the Imperium invaded. Subjected to the full terrifying might of the Imperium of man, Ajax witnessed the worst terrors it was capable of, before his planet was shattered, its people shackled and forced to strip-mine their homeworld for Imperial greed under cruel masters. | | '''Ignatius Grulge''' was the former Cardinal of the Sector. He led the [[Temple]] Uprising, was unmasked and excommunicated in 593, and was [[Sector_Report_X|officially executed]] in 597.M41. |
|
| |
|
| Ajax survived only via sheer luck and the willing sacrifice of every other member of his unit to protect him. As far as is known, he is very likely the last free native of Steela. This fact has shaped a determination to demonstrate to the Imperium that his people will not go quietly into the night, and it didn’t take long for him to join up with the rebels in the Rising Flame. With a keen intellect, and a ruthlessness born of loss he quickly gained power and followers within the Flame, turning the movement to even more spectacular and grandiose acts of violence. Captured by the Imperium on Finisterra, Ajax would have likely been condemned to arco-flagellation, but after the siege of Polarnus in 593.M41 he was rumored to have escaped, and retaken control of his faction of the Rising Flame.

The twins have led barbaric Archenemy warbands on multiple raids against the Imperium from Subsector Tenebris. Arnkatla is renowned as the more deadly of the pair, a martial leader of considerable skill and a deadly combatant whereas her brother is unimaginative and prone to wasting his forces in grinding attrition warfare. Arnkatla masterminded the capture of Polarnus Station in 592.M41 and likely would have used it as a foothold to strike deeper into the Sector had she not been foiled by Imperial forces and the agents of the Inquisition. Since loosing Polarnus the two turned their attention to Kelper Prime where their forces finally broke the Imperial defences of the world and took the planet. | | '''Sharre Ajax''' is the leader of the [[Rising Flame]].

| '''Gazbag''', Prophet of the Twin Sunz is a leader-beast of the greenskin Ork Waagh! that smashed into the Eastern Prosperitas Sector in 563.M41 and occupied [[Persephon]]. Unlike most Ork leader-beasts the ‘Prophet’ has not been seen in battle many times. Unlike many Ork leaders, the evasive ‘Prophet’ commands an almost-fanatical control over his servants that has never been seen in similar Ork forces, accompanied by the xeno-cultist ork-worshipping human ‘Konskripts’ that have joined the Waagh! as fanatically as his greenskin warriors. The reason for this was revealed in 594.M41 when an [[Ordo Xenos]] strike team discovered that the beast was in fact possessed by a Warp Entity. Said Warp Entity, seemingly unwilling to surrender its host, subsequently drew every Ork on Persephon into the Warp, to emerge who-knows-where. | | '''Herforingi Arnkatla Tain and Greppur Tain''' are the Archenemy warleaders of the [[The_Archenemy#The_Eye-Tribes|Ættin Heima]] tribes. |

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.M41, 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.M41. | | '''Gazbag''', Prophet of the Twin Sunz, was the leader-beast of Ork Waagh! that ravaged [[Persephon]] until its disappearance in 594.M41. |

| In truth, known only to agents of the Inquisition, Armelius went missing or was killed by a shape-changing warp entity in 586.M41. The entity proceeded to win favor amongst the common folk and anti-Crusade elements by promoting a ‘peace doctrine’ that has preserved lives and ensured the security of the Imperium for an unknown purpose. The creature exercised considerable control over the family’s Vassal Houses and was the de facto head of Crusade High Command until recently.
