In the grim darkness of the far future the Imperium of Man faces it's darkest hour...
Cadia burns and the followers of chaos spew forth from the eye of terror in an orgy of wanton destruction. Hive worlds, once bustling cesspools of humanity, now lay silent under rubble and fire.
...Darkness has come.
Deep within the consecrated earth of Terra an ancient soul stirs; called from the wilderness by The emperor himself. 17 years has that soul has been buried, too weak to return. it's zeal spent, it's vigour exhausted. After half a decade of bringing death and destruction to heretics and Xenos scum alike the souls spirit succumbed to the vile gods of apathy and lay dormant, it's body broken.
Today that soul has risen from the dirt to fight for the emperor once more.
