Decius XXIII is Ecclesiarch of the Adeptus Ministorum as of 945.M41.[1]

History

Decius XXIII famously clashed with Inquisitor Lord Fyodor Karamazov of the Inquisition's Ordo Hereticus in 945.M41 over the fate of the lowly Preacher Icarael. The confrontation almost came to outright battle after the Inquisitor executed the boy, but Decius vindicated Karamazov after taints of Chaos were found amongst the followers of Icarael.[1]

Later in the Age of the Dark Imperium Decius XXIII attempted to use the instability caused by the Great Rift's creation to repeal the Decree Passive. This caused a number of assassination attempts on him, which forced Saint Celestine, Inquisitor Greyfax, and Longinus to escort him to Ophelia VII for safety. However it soon became apparent the series was events was orchestrated by the Lord of Change known as the Tyrant of Blueflame, causing Celestine to later execute Decius.[2]

Canon Conflicts

The later period of Decius' reign as Ecclesiarch seems to overlap with that of Baldo Slyst. In Our Martyred Lady (Audio Drama) he was still ruling when Guilliman first appeared while Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion (Novel) depicts Slyst as ruling in the same period.
