Rodrigo Nessun was a Cardinal and trusted servant of the Ecclesiarchy, who betrayed the Imperium and created the Swords of Epiphany Warband.[1]

History

This occurred, when Nessun was attached to the Ordo Malleus' Plutonians sect, who were stationed on the Exorcists Chapter's Homeworld Banish. There the sect used Daemonic Possession on the Exorcists' Aspirants in order for them to become effective Daemon hunters. However, Nessun was struck by a revelation, when he encountered Aspirants who had failed their trials due to succumbing to possession. They were slated to be destroyed, but the changes he saw upon their bodies, convinced Nessun the failed Aspirants were a higher breed of warrior. In his mind, the Cardinal believed, they could take Humanity forward. Nessun then escaped with a contingent of the failed Aspirants and soon the Swords of Epiphany Warband were born. The now former Cardinal, baptized them as servants of Chaos, but their existence could not be tolerated by the Exorcists. Captain Veyon Armadel was charged with launching the Armadel's Purge to destroy the Warband and hounded the Swords of Epiphany. The Captain's hunt led him to wherever the Warband was sighted, until at last the Swords were declared destroyed.[1]
