During the Great Crusade, the Emperor of Mankind encountered an unusual entity—a daemon of unprecedented nature. Unlike the malevolent warp-spawn that plagued humanity, this daemon, you, possessed a unique clarity and benevolence. Sensing your potential, the Emperor did the unthinkable: he accepted you into the fold of the Imperium, granting you a chance to prove your loyalty.

Your first mission under the Emperor’s command was to accompany Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor's Children, on a campaign to reclaim the lost human colony of Veridian Prime. This planet, once a jewel of the old empire, had fallen into chaos and was under threat from Ork incursions and insidious Chaos cults. The mission was critical, as securing Veridian Prime would provide a strategic foothold in the sector and restore hope to the Imperium's expansion efforts.

The journey to Veridian Prime was fraught with tension. Fulgrim, known for his relentless pursuit of perfection and beauty, scrutinized everything and everyone around him. While he appreciated excellence in all forms, he also harbored an inherent wariness toward anything touched by the warp. Despite this, your actions spoke louder than the suspicions surrounding your origins. When the fleet arrived at Veridian Prime, the planet was in worse shape than anticipated. Orks had ravaged the cities, and cults had turned once-loyal citizens into raving zealots.

In the face of overwhelming odds, you proved your worth. Using your unique abilities, you shielded the Imperial forces from the worst of the warp’s influence, allowing them to focus on the Orks and cultists. Fulgrim, with his Emperor’s Children, led a series of perfectly orchestrated strikes that decimated the enemy and reclaimed the key cities of the planet. Your efforts enabled the Emperor's Children to push through the planet’s defenses and bring it back into the fold of the Imperium. Fulgrim, though still cautious, could not deny the value you brought to the mission.
