Athanazius Calvino the Whisperlight, was the Chief Architect for the Angels Resplendent Chapter, when the Undying Martyr arrived on their Homeworld, Malpertuis, and turned them into the Angels Penitent.[1]

History

With their Chapter Magister, Varzival, away campaigning, most of the Angels Resplendent fell under the sway of the Undying Martyr and called themselves the Penitent. Calvino and his fellow Architects were the only ones to resist the Martyr, which led them to be targeted by the Penitent in the Chapter's Great Purge. It destroyed anything that linked the Angels to their past as the Resplendent and the Architects' judgement came at the hands of a group of Battle Brothers led by Chaplain Malvoisin. However even as the group came to end them, Calvino and the other Architects did nothing to defend themselves. Instead the Chief Architect uttered the Resplendent's battle cry, "We will rise on burning wings". This brought the attacking Battle Brothers to a stand still, especially Sergeant Montaig who felt his new found self-hatred drain away. However, Chaplain Malvoisin, who was the main advocate for the Martyr's changes, yelled out the Penitent's new battle cry, "The Emperor Condemns". This roused the hatred of the attacking Battle Brothers once more and they fell upon Calvino and the other Architects. With their deaths, the Angels Penitent were able to fully rise from the ashes of the Angels Resplendent' past.[2]
