Rechiar

Rechiar, the Hand of the Lord, is the Captain of the Tensiti in the Red Eyes legion, the honour guard of Theoderaf.

History
Rechiar was a recruit from Certus Minor, from a poor family who grew up after Certus had joined the Imperium. Rechiar was brought up in the traditional Certian religion of worshipping the God-Emperor, fully accepting the teachings and striving to embody the principles of the Imperium. He put himself forward for joining the Legiones Astartes, showing piety in the trials and a ruthlessness in refusing to allow others to push him to the sides. Rechiar entered the legion having already marked himself out as noteworthy to the legion’s high command.

Rechiar followed a rather conventional path within the legion, showing competency but a lack of original thought that made his rise into a position of command unlikely. He rose from the ranks of the legion to become a Veteran, and then onwards to become a member of a Terminator Squad. He excelled at not only combat but also interrogation, utilising torture and his innate fearsomeness to extract information from his prisoners. His rather barbaric methods and abrasive bluntness put off several of the legion’s high command, but Theoderaf found Rechiar’s faith and loyalty admirable. Theoderaf interviewed Rechiar in private, and after the meeting raised him into his Tensiti, his honour guard for major diplomatic events.

Personality
Rechiar is defined by his loyalty above all to his father, viewing Theoderaf as the son of God and as such demands absolute obedience and devotion. He has little time for proselytising or propagandising, he does not have the natural skill of oratory that others of his brothers have, he cares only about fulfilling whatever task he is set. Rechiar is capable of acting more noble when it is required in his role as Captain of the Tensiti, though usually achieved by his silence and his regal armour rather than his eloquence.
