Lord Verence

House Verence is one of the preeminent noble houses
of Scintilla with extensive holdings in Hive Tarsus and
Gunmetal City. Lord Verence is a member of the inner circle
of Lord Sector Hax’s court and has grown in Hax’s favor
for his insights into dealing with the politics of Scintilla’s
other hives. Lord Verence appears a juvinat---softened,
gaudy degenerate with a taste for epicurean pleasure that
is well known amongst the upper echelons of Scintillan
society. The truth is somewhat at odds with the mask.
House Verence is one of the oldest noble houses of the
sector, able to trace its blood back to an aide of Angevin
during the early stages of his crusade. They are and always
have been faithful to the pure and true faith of the Temple of the Saviour Emperor, and Lord Verence is not a slowly
decaying libertine, but a skilled and dangerous manipulator
who has used his position to further the ends of his faith
and shield those who share the faith of his house.
