Blessed be the Emperor, light and guide of all mankind. In His name we, the redemptionists of the burning church bring death and chastisement to the alien and mutant, witch and heretic, all deserving of the sacrament of extermination by sword and holy fire.
It is many years that I've been serving as scribe and, if may be so bold right hand, of my master Klovis and seldom have I seen such boundless faith as that shown by the priest wich calls himself just the Faceless. A most devout warrior and confidant of our glorious Redeemer, he never takes off his mask in the presence of others, no doubt as a sign of penance and devotion and not, as some doubters say, due to being a known outlaw on the run from house Cawdor.
Resolute in battle he wields a flaming chainaxe, a pure tool of punishment with wich to chop, burn and amputate the sinful bodies of the unblessed
Never one to eschew a chance to punish the unbelievers, he also bears a gilded autogun, with wich he has blasted many an heretic into the embrace of oblivion
Despite accompanying the Redeemer in many a purging, it is not I that have followed him the longest, but a veteran of the crusade called Kiodrus in honour of the holy warrior saint of Sabbat. He is truly a living relic of the church, having scrouged heretical filth for longer that anyone remembers. His many years and ironbound zeal are truly a blessing of the Emperor!
He is also the bearer of one of our most sacred relics, the blessed Chandelier of Temenos, a blazing icon of faith that brings light into the darkness of the corrupted underhive.
One of the most recent additions to the ranks of the faitful is the zealot Sebastian Thor. As his namesake he is unflinching in the face of sin and blasphemy, slicing and burning the mutant scum with a massive eviscerator. His exploits are thus that blessed Klovis bestowed upon him the honour of carring on a reliquary the skull of an escher viperess he killed in epic hand to hand combat.
A resourceful and valiant warrior of our most pious cause, he carries a laspistol and incendiary charges, to use whenever an opportunity arises
The robust Dolan meanwhile is the muscle of the Crusade, bearing on his shoulders not only the weight of an incandescent firepike, but a magnificent crown of fire granted to him by the Redeemer after purging the wondrous sum of 100 heretics.
A devout member of the church, brother Dolan carries the word of the Emperor on him at all times
His fiery wargear is complemented with a crude but effective stub gun, a useful tool for reaching those heretics too cowardly to close within range of his imponent firepike
To finish off this brief description of the closest servants of the Redeemer I'll speak now of brother Macharius. He is a crack shot, deadly with an autogun and also a munificent funder of our crusade. His appearances in the campaigns of cleansing are certainly sporadic, being a truth known by many that he is a rich member of uphive society that seeks absolution for his errant lifestyle by donning the rainments of Redemption, and joining in the battle against the evil that permeates all of Necromunda
As befits such a lofty status his gear is of the best quality, and despite not being as pure as my mentor, he is nonetheless a valued member of our warrior band
Such is his zeal that he often cuts off the heads of the heretics he kills, keeping their flayed skulls as mementoes both of victory and penitence
Blessed be he who follows the path of Redemption, for not only will he find salvation in the eyes of the Master of Mankind but help bring it to his fellow men through faith and fire!
