Remembrancer

A Remembrancer was a Human civilian artist, historian or journalist who was a member of the Imperial Remembrancer Order that accompanied the expeditionary fleets of the Great Crusade in the early 31st Millennium.

Their function was to chronicle all the glorious deeds of the Space Marine Legions and the Imperial Army in the course of the crusade so that the future posterity of the Imperium of Man would know how Humanity had come to dominate the galaxy.

The Remembrancers were overwhelmingly natives of Terra who had vied with other preeminent artists of the era for the honour of accompanying the expeditionary fleets led by the Astartes, who very grudgingly accepted them aboard the starships of their fleets.

Showing the common disdain for journalists and non-combatants at the frontlines held by warriors of every generation and era, the Remembrancers were generally disliked by the primarchs, the Astartes and the line troops of the Imperial Army.

The Remembrancer Order included many different forms of artists and journalists within their ranks, including poets, imagists (photojournalists), historiographers (historians), documentarists (journalists), painters, sculptors, actors, singers and even composers.
