When Tzeentch cultists seized control of most of a Titan Legion, a young tech-priestess by the name of Aurora Rosaline Bach, not even a princeps, attempted to link to the Emperor Titan ''Bright Legend'' to guide it in fighting off her corrupted brethren. The God-Emperor, his own warp form gravely wounded, could not answer her prayers for the strength of will necessary to command the Titan. But another, humanity's new Empress, could and did. The Light Of Ynnead poured through Aurora and ''Bright Legend'' to cleanse the corrupted Titans and burn their twisted hijackers to ash. And so was created the first Living Saint of Ynnead.

When a bunch of Orcish spores breached containment, Malcador attempted to purge them with warpfire. Most died, but one instead grew into the first Krork to be born in millennia. He is an ally of the Exodus, if a somewhat unpredictable one.

* TheAgeless: Like Orks, Gorehowl will grow until he's killed.

They are also a social species with unconscious psychic powers. This resulted in severe mental stress for Gorehowl because he was utterly cut off from any of his own kind.

!!Jaghatai Khan

Formerly the Fifth Primarch, Jaghatai Khan had for millennia been hunting the Dark Eldar through the depths of the Webway. Ynnead was able to retrieve him from the Webway, and in the new realm he took up the responsibility of leading the Space Marines, especially the twenty-five Lexicani of the Chosen Blood, who have neither Chapter traditions nor ''any'' experienced Marines to teach them.

* DualWielding: Uses his own Relic Blade, Silver Scar, along with Invictus from the ''Glory or Death'' quest.

* UnpredictableResults: Whereas the players can usually decide what the rest of the Heroes will be doing each turn, Gorehowl's behavior is determined by the GM secretly rolling against a table.

!!The God-Emperor of Mankind and Eldar, Adam Kadmon.

The arch-enemy of Chaos, the protector and guardian of humanity, [[FirstNameBasis known to a select few as Adam Kadmon]]. After thirteen millennia trapped on the Golden Throne, Adam saw that his Imperium was lost, and in desperation harnessed a mysterious Warp distortion to tear open a doorway between the universes, escaping with a handful of ships from the half-dozen apocalypses racing to finish him.

* BabiesEverAfter: Has, at last count, a +65 bonus to creating new Primarchs the natural way. Once Ynnead gets a body, that's going to have to come into play at some point.
* BigGood:
** GoodIsNotSoft: Has let his divine wrath loose on more than one occasion.
** GoodIsNotNice: Slipped into this big-time in his backstory, but is trying to avert the necessity in the new universe.
* FirstNameBasis: Ynnead and Malcador are the only two who regularly refer to him as "Adam".
* MagicallyBindingContract: Made a pact with Ynnead to restore the Eldar race. Nobody wants to find out what might happen if he breaks it.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: For some reason, the backlash of his overchanneling to destroy the Men of Iron caused him to go from baby to adult almost instantly.

!!The God-Empress of Eldar and Humanity, Ynnead Kadmon.

Since the Downfall, the Eldar have been collecting together the souls of their dead in the hopes of creating a new God to destroy Slaanesh and liberate their race. Mere minutes before the Exodus, the last living Eldar died, and Ynnead was born. Though not powerful enough to destroy Slaanesh, serendipity lead to her being in a position to receive the Emperor's offer of alliance, and she escaped with him into space between spaces.
