Aeon Teleos is a infamous rogue trader, cad, (apparent) psyker and secret sensei.

## House Teleos

House Teleos is a small and insignificant Rogue Trader house and they like it that way. While they are required to turn a profit they relish in the exploration and adventure their endeavors bring. They are an eclectic bunch that stay out of the limelight (as much as Rogue Traders can), and for a good reason: the blood of the Teleos family is the same that ran through the veins of the Emperor himself. This dark secret has been kept by both the heads of the dynasty and a small group of radical inquisitors who believe in the Star Child prophecies. Their warrant of trade keeps them out of politics and on the fringes of society where they can avoid scrutiny. Not all manifest as sensei but over the centuries a half dozen of their numbers have manifested their traits.

## Biography

### Early Life

Aeon grew up with money but without niceties. As the son of a noble of House Teleos he got educated in school and grew wise on the streets. Aeon ran drugs and surrounded himself with a rough crowd of upper crust kids in his youth (and he has more than a few scars to prove it). He was absolutely fearless; Aeon was a perfect physical specimen with a mind to match and he didn’t see anything that could possibly stop him. In school he was a rebel, a trouble maker, and a dissident. Things came to a head when he started organizing gangs and political groups in the upper levels of the Hive World he was educated on.

As a teenager he cornered the market on drugs, guns, and many other pleasures under the noses of the authorities. Aeon didn’t do it for the profit- he did it for the thrill and to give the middle finger to the authorities. They eventually caught up to him and he would have been put to death for organizing rebellious elements but money talks and he was able to escape punishment for his actions. His family took him on one of their ships and continued his education with tutors and first hand experience.

### A Child of the Stars

Aeon thrived in the unknown and he found his calling aboard his Uncle’s flagship “Child of the Stars”. Aeon saw hundreds of worlds, traded with a dozen species, met thousands of interesting people, and fought in 3 military campaigns before he was 30. He never forgot his roots and as he grew older he dabbled more and more in the black market.

### The Bumbler of Pishon

Given command of his own small ship, “The Decedent Lady”, Aeon was tasked with numerous mercantile and exploratory errands by his house. Most of these involved supply runs to small planets as a condition of the Teleos’ Warrant of Trade. Upon the water world of Pishon Aeon and his crew encountered a draconian ruler who was keeping his population in abject poverty and inhumane conditions. Aeon, ever the rebel, took particular offense to this and at a dinner party cut off the Governor's head after he made a bad joke at his people’s expense. This triggered a coupe that plunged the planet into war. House Teleos had to pay massive reparations to cover the lost tithe from the planet and Aeon was harshly criticized by his family but the whole thing was swept under the rug and redacted due to family connections.

### Gangs, Profit, and Blood

After the Pishon affair Aeon went straight and got into some good, old fashioned, smuggling. It wasn’t really smuggling as he was acting under the aegis of his family’s Warrant of Trade but the effects were the same. He worked under his uncle, Monogenes, and learned from the seasoned Rogue Trader. Aeon gained a reputation as a blockade runner, black market profiteer, and sympathizer for lost causes. He never actively worked against Imperial interests but he picked his clients more with an eye for morality than for profit. His pension for “good people” paid off time and time again and his family’s coffers flowed with thrones thanks to his good judgement in terms of business partners.

### Triumph Though Inheritance

Aeon’s uncle, Monogenes, had named Aeon his successor as the two were close business partners and the elder Teleos saw much of himself in the younger man. Upon his uncle’s death Aeon inherited the Child of the Stars and his position in the hierarchy of the Teleos’ line of inheritance. He is currently 4th in line for the Warrant of Trade and has a solid shot at it too...

## Abilities

**Sensei:** Unbeknownst to himself and those around him, Aeon is a sensei- a blood descendant of the Emperor of Mankind himself and champion of the Star Child. He is protected from the powers and taint of chaos; a psyker who doesn’t risk attracting the attentions or perils of the warp. He is free from most feelings of hate, bitterness, or irrational anger and radiates a natural aura of confidence and harmony.

**Sympathetic Cad:** Aeon is a skilled black-market entrepreneur, criminal, and rebel. He can’t ignore a sympathetic cause but he’ll still charge them top dollar for his help. He knows how to talk to people, manipulate the law to his advantage, play cards like a profession, and bluff like a champ.

**Perfect Specimen:** For reasons he isn’t aware of (namely, that he’s a sensei), Aeon has a physique that, outside of assassins and space marines, is unheard of. He’s 6’6 and as muscular as a bodybuilder. He never gets a sniffle and is sharp as a whip.

**Soldier of Fortune:** Aeon knows how to fight and has some training on most common weapons but most of his combat prowess comes from practical experience and creative problem solving. He’s a skilled rebel and counter-insurgent, having fought in a few guerilla campaigns but a veteran guardsmen would put him to shame with a gun.

**Pseudo-Psyker:** Aeon is not a psyker in the truest sense of the word- he’s not a mutant. He actually channels his powers through the Star Child or some other benevolent (or at least not malicious) warp entity with a connection to humanity. He is equivalent to an Iota level psyker and can only use his powers subconsciously. He has the following powers:

* **"Devekut":** Aeon manifests a small part of the continuance of the Emperor himself- those who had stood in the presence of the God Emperor would find themselves recognizing Aeon in some way. This causes a great deal of fear in agents of Chaos and strengthens the resolve of those around him (granting) them a small boost in their combat effectiveness though zeal and passion.
* **"Bat Kol":** When manifested Aeon’s words seem to be reasonable and appealing, even when they are lies or the person would be hesitant.
* **"Baal Shem":** When Aeon lays his hands upon a wound he can heal it.

### Rasse Lemaigre

*Seneschal, Legate, Butler, Major Domo*

Rasse is Aeon’s personal financial advisor, manners coach, master of staff, and personal attendant. Nothing runs with our Rasse’s say so and it runs 1,000% better because of it. He is a master of finance, legal codes, court diplomacy, and has perfect recall.

**Equipment:** Las Pistol, Sword, Petticoat, Auto-Scribe Servo Skull

### Islwyn Mycroft

*Navigator, Fortune Teller, Conspirator*

Aeon’s personal navigator, Islwyn, is bound to House Teleos and keeping their secrets. Only he and Rasse know of Aeon’s true nature (something not even the Rogue Trader himself knows).

**Equipment:** Las Pistol, Robes

**Powers:** Astral Navigation, Reading the Emperor's Tarot

### Octus Halberd

*Bodgyguard, Drinking Buddy, Soldier*

Arch militant extraordinaire, Octus was hired away from Imperial service (for a pretty penny) as a favor to the man. Octus had got in hot water with a Colonel for sleeping with his wife and Aeon scooped him up. He’s been working for the Trader since before Pishon and was formerly a scion prime. He’s 6’8 and weighs 300 lbs of pure muscle.

**Equipment:** Grenade Launcher, Shock Maul, Boot Knife, Carapace Armor, 2 Frag Grenades, 1 Haywire

### Razi “Jinx” Olwethu

*Scoundrel, Acrobat, Thief, Linguist*

There isn’t a wall Jinx can’t scale, a lock she can’t pick, or a con she can’t run. Razi is smart girl from Aeon’s home world who he picked up in his ganger days. She is his black market contact and thief. She is known to speak 26 different languages, influencing a few she shouldn’t legally be allowed to know and is an accomplished acrobat as well as an outstanding thief.

**Equipment:** Flack Armor, Needler Sniper Rifle, Smoke Grenades, Grappling Gun, Combat Knife

### Brutis Holloway

*Mechanic, Wheelman, Soldier, Daredevil*

If it has a control strict or steering wheel, Holloway can drive it. From capital voidships to single-person hover skippers Brutis can pilot it. He got drummed out of the Imperial Navy for pulling one too many close passes (and taking a capital ship for a joy ride one time). He’s also a hell of a lair, a better shot, and a terrible card player.

**Equipment:** Flack Armor, Hellgun, Shotgun, X2 Melta Grenades

### Father Oscar

*Exasperated Priest, Father Figure, Flamer*

Father Oscar came across Aeon and immediately decided he needed more Emperor in his life (he was trying to sell non-functional guns to a gang in a convoluted scheme to get paid so...). Aeon’s house agreed and now Father Oscar accompanies Aeon wherever he goes, trying in vain to get him to reform his wild ways.

**Equipment:** Robes, Flamer, Beating Stick, Holy Book
