Background

Victris first memories are of battle. As a child, he served his father as a runner aboard the Doom of the Living, taking messages to other officers. His father, the leader of a boarding team of Savant Militant, was as rare breed in the service. Given his psychic heritage, it was no great surprise to find himself exhibiting unusual abilities, and he was transferred forthwith to the Black Ships.

His journey to Terra was like any other, save that he did not suffer from poor health the way many of his comrades did. He was viewed with some suspicion by his Inquisitorial handlers, but his father – another victim of the ships – had counselled him on how to behave, and he avoided the worst mistreatment through shows of fairly genuine devotion.

His failure in the final tests of the Black Ships led him to the path of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. His meeting with the God-Emperor of mankind redefined his whole life. For a truly blinding moment, he was touched by the mind of the master of mankind. His faith was re-forged, and he soon became one of the Emperor's most devoted adherents and joined the ranks of the Transubstantial Initiates. He returned to the Doom of the Living as a member of the Astropathic Choir.

Rising to become an Astropath Transcendent, Victris distinguished himself enough to become Choir Deputy, and was sought after as a Choirmaster by other vessels. He and his father were transferring to another vessel in the Battlefleet Koronus, travelling on a Rogue Trader ship that was travelling that way, when its Gellar Field failed. In the chaos that followed, Victris father was fatally wounded repelling a demon, and warp matter mutated Victris, granting him two new arms. Horrified, Victris considered suicide, even as his dying father revealed that Victris was the result of a secret Genetor project to vat-grow psychics. His genes had been sought after, Victris his reward. The arms were the result of a flaw the Genetors had found in the genetic code and struggled to eliminate.

His faith shaken, Victris decided that the Emperor must still have plans for him. He was rescued from execution by the efforts of the ship's Navigator, Astra, who introduced him to the sympathetic Rogue Trader Sebastian York. York had no problem with a mutant Choirmaster, and indeed seemed amused by the idea. Determined to carry his faith with him in to the expanse, Victris joined the crew of the Cleansing Light.
