Rogue Trader

Ignatius von Valancius – Rogue Trader

This is an artwork I commissioned from the artist Martin Kirby, a great artist check out his artstation.

His name is Ignatius Von Valancius from the recent 40k Rogue Trader game.

Brief summary.

Born and raised on the Fortress World Solar Martarius in the Cadian system, he had spent most of his life mastering the art of war and its accompiant fabrications. His original wish was to be a respected Castellan like his father. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, he had awakened as a psyker and began having dreams and visions, sometimes a few whispers. He was able to use telekinesis, but it was extremely weak, barely able to lift a fork. When he asked his father what happened to psykers, the answer gave him chills. Panicked, he decided to stop all activity and began suppressing his power until he could find a suitable resolution to them. Observant as a child, he began to notice that he was able to memorize and replicate any skill, strategy, or psychic power. Using this ability, he sought after knowledge of the best in all fields and made them his own. This allowed him to become the youngest Lieutenant General. He is pious and a firm believer in the God Emperor, but he is no fool, he does not think to throw tactics out and rely only on faith.
