Galatan Oriona

Galatan Oriona, colloquially referred as Galatan, was the former warmaster of the Imperium of Andarra and once-trusted friend of the Mother of Mothers. He later fell to the whispers of the aether, betraying the Empress and sparking a decade-long civil war known as Galatan's Rebellion.

His body and soul were obliterated by the Empress, removing him from existence. Although his spirit was crushed, his betrayal has often been viewed as an act of defiance against tyranny by critics of the Senatorum Imperialis.

Early Life
Not much is known about Galatan's early life other than that he was born to a poor family that resided deep in Siber. At an early age, he possessed the potent ability to manipulate matter. His family left him for dead in the frozen tundras of the Siber, forcing the young Galatan to survive on his own for a time. He was six years old when his family abandoned him.

His psychic ability, however, was extremely unstable and he would not learn of this fact until later in his life. Nevertheless, his profile caught the interest of the newly-crowned Empress of the Imperium, who saw him as a potential candidate for one of her greatest projects.

Indoctrination into the Astra Sparticus
Galatan was contacted by the Empress via vague telepathic messages. Through these messages, Galatan's interest piqued, and so he ventured away from the Siber in order to investigate the origins of these messages.
