Hinimam

One of the oldest structures within the Red Eyes Legion, the Hinimama are the spiritual leaders of the legion. Though technically not an office in the command hierarchy of the legion, the Hinimam had significant influence over decisions and the legion as a whole, and the hierarchy of the Hinimama would become seamlessly integrated into the command hierarchy by Theoderaf upon his discovery.

The Hinimama were entrusted with the maintenance of the moral purity of the legion, originally meant to keep morale high and preserve the ideals of the Imperium. When Theoderaf and recruits from Certus joined the legion, the moral purity of the legion became inextricably linked with the religious fervour of the legionaries. Hinimama would lead their battle brothers in prayer, with the High Chief Hinimam leading the whole legion in large services, accompanied by encouraging speeches and even music. Each Company, Battalion and then Chapter had their own Hinimama hierarchy, with there being several Chief Hinimama who form their own council. Theoderaf has a seat on the council, yet respects their decisions and does not directly choose who becomes the High Chief Hinimam.

The Hinimama would evolve into the later Chaplaincy, though very few changes were actually needed as the structure was already in place. The term Hinimama would live on, as with the introduction of the Warrior Lodges each was led by a Hinimam on the orders of Theoderaf to ensure loyalty to him. [[Category:H]]
