I believe it was The Weeping Philosopher who said: "War is father and king of all. It proves some to be gods and others merely human". As a non-combatant in what was clearly an Astartes war, my humanity was as painfully obvious to me as the inhumanity of the Astartes. I don't mean that they lacked mercy or compassion, though naturally those are not traits they are renowned for possessing. No, I mean that they are to us as we are to the Neyanderthel or Kro-Magon.
From the outset it was clear that Volnoscere had gathered to him those of aptitude and capability in the disciplines of war and arts of diplomacy or more often than not facets of both. Like a king naming warrior princes he formed what I came to know was ‘The Kapihe’, and to them he entrusted portions of the Legion, safe in the knowledge that with his forces in their capable hands, he could then focus his energies upon the reason for his return to the Imperium.
