The Speaker was the leader of a Chaos Cult known as the Cult of Truth.[1]

The Speaker led the Cult in an uprising on the planet Stratos in M41. The Cult was able to take and hold the planet's capital loft-city, Cirrion, from the planet's Imperial defenders until the Third Company of the Salamanders Chapter arrived to put down the Cult. The Salamanders, led by Captain Ko'tan Kadai, were able to breach the Cult's defences in Cirrion, eventually reaching the Aura Hieron temple district (the Cult of Truth's base of operations) aiming to assassinate the Speaker.[1]

However, it transpired that the Cult of Truth had been supported by Nihilan, a Chaos Sorcerer of the Dragon Warriors. When the Salamanders confronted the Speaker, Nihilan killed the cultist and cast a Chaos ritual to summon a daemon that used the Speaker's body as a host.[1]
