Yorac's Knight, the Spear of the Righteous

Yorac is a Baron of House Terryn who has lived a charmed life and has cheated death at the hands of countless foes. He was part of an Imperium strike force sent to the world Scouros IX, to combat the Dark Mechanicum forces of the Grand Dark Magos. Once there, however, the contingent Yorac was grouped with suffered a deadly ambush, which left him as one of its few survivors. Despite this, Yorac would go on to completely crush the forces of the Dark Magos.[2]

Baron Yorac’s Knight, Spear of the Righteous, bears the blue of the house, the white stallion’s head and the black demi-Aquila on a red field, but also numerous additions unique to Yorac. The broad check design on its shoulder and left knee guard is drawn from his family lineage. Each family wears differing patterns on their cloaks, a reminder of the clans among the first settlers of Voltoris, before the rise of House Terryn. Over time a Knight’s heraldry will change as its pilot is tempered in the fires of war. On Spear of the Righteous, Baron Yorac has added a single white strip over his starboard salvation hatch. This indicates that he escaped after his Knight was crippled, climbing free from its wreckage. Far from a mark of disgrace, this shows both a Noble’s tenacity and the skilled repair work of their house’s Sacristans.[1]

Trivia

Yorac, like many of the Knights of House Terryn, has a similar name to a character from a play by William Shakespeare; in this case, a character from Hamlet.
