Arch-Confessor Fortunus

Arch-Confessor Damien Fortunus Previously misidentified as a daemonette due to arguably-heretical teachings, causing him to flee the last sector he was active in. This was probably the work of more conservative elements of the church who, having no clear heresies to accuse him of, instead manufactured baseless rumours.

A preacher during the Indomitus Crusade, Fortunus was inspired by the unbridled heroism and practicality of Guilleman. He took up preaching sermons inspired by the Primarch, focusing on duty and progress while de-emphasising many of the Ministorum’s long-held practices. His ministry picked up a substantial following as the crusade liberate worlds and pushed back the darkness, lifting the people’s spirits and inspiring great deeds, but leaving a trail of angered church higher-ups in his wake.

Damien is an intense dude. He’s a high-minded idealist with the oratory and organisational skills to actually get things done. Conversation with him turns from deadly serious to exciting to jocular at a moment’s notice, and he has a true gift for persuasion. He truly and deeply believes every word he says, even when he knows it to be a lie in the service of The Emperor.
