Geratomro - Notable Geratomrans: Planetary Governatrice Missrine Huratal I - Missrine Huratal I was the appointed Planetary Governor of Geratomro at the beginning of the Geratomran Reconquest. It was her decision to refuse the demands of the Departmento Munitorum that prompted the Imperial invasion of her world. As the legitimate monarch of Geratomro and direct descendant of the very first planetary ruler, Magor, her motives to rebel might have been noble ones, but she grossly underestimated the Imperium's true strength and determination to maintain the unity of the human sphere. While deemed an efficient planetary ruler, a detailed analysis of her actions in the wake of Geratomro's pacification indicated that she repeatedly used her wealth and influence to break with Imperial dogma and placed the interests of her own family above the well-being of the Imperium. Like all Geratomran nobles, Missrine Huratal I was enormous, a mountain of flesh and fat cultivated over many standard years of feasting and lack of exercise. Once her mind was set upon treachery, Missrine Huratal I was implacable and ruthless. It was upon her direct orders that the legation of the Departmento Munitorum was assassinated in her own throne room. It was again under her orders that only solar minutes later, the capital's Adeptus Arbites precinct was flattened by artillery before its occupants were able to mobilise or learn of the Governatrice's change of allegiance. During the first years of the insurrection, she tasked her loyal Yellow Guard with tracking down and executing all remaining loyal servants of the Golden Throne, forcing them into hiding. Missrine Huratal I was killed inside her own palace in the bloody coup that would see Dostain Huratal, her cousin, claim the throne. She was ripped apart by the daemonic entity locally known as the Devil-in-the-Bush.Planetary Governor Dostain Huratal - Cousin and nephew to Missrine Huratal I, Dostain Huratal was initially Heir the First to the throne of the Planetary Governor before being relegated to the rank of Heir the Second when the clone named Missrine Huratal II was created. An arrogant and envious man, Dostain always sought power as he was raised in the belief that one day he might rule over Geratomro. At the same time, the fat noble lacked both the courage and ambition to realise his dreams. Most of the members of the Geratomran court were surprised when he was the first Geratomran to openly suggest that Geratomro should deny the Deparmento Munitorum its due and cut all ties with the Imperium. Dostain Huratal had not even mustered the courage to confess his feelings to the woman he loved: his aunt and cousin, Pollein Huratal. Blessed with slightly above average intelligence, Dostain was aware of his own weaknesses, and frequently imagined what a more ruthless version of himself might have achieved -- the murder of his aunt Missrine Huratal I to safeguard his ascension to the throne, the rape or kidnapping of Pollein, a forced wedding while simultaneously entertaining several mistresses... All these repressed desires formed a pool which the Devil-in-the-Bush, a local daemonic entity, would tap to bring forth the ruin of the House of Magor. By promising wealth, military assistance and ultimately the possession of Pollein Huratal, the daemon lured Dostain Huratal into committing murder, disposing of both Missrines before taking the throne for himself and inviting the Chaos Space Marines of the Emperor's Children to Geratomro. Led by Chaos Lord Damien Trastoon, these reinforcements threatened to defeat the Imperial troops. Drugged into compliance, Dostain became a willing accomplice in the summoning of yet more daemons, but revolted at the sight of the horde of Daemonettes ready to invade his world. In his last and only act of courage, Dostain Huratal chose to betray his Chaos allies. Having snatched a Bolt Pistol from a fallen Chaos Space Marine, Dostain fired at the Devil-in-the-Bush, granting a Black Templars Emperor's Champion an opening to slay the foul entity. With its dying breath, the Devil-in-the-Bush flung one of its daggers at Dostain, killing him. The blood of the last scion of the House of Magor proved to be a sacrifice great enough to open a Warp Rift, but the rift was sealed before the daemons stepped through.Heir the First Missrine Huratal II - Missrine Huratal II was an abomination, a clone of Planetary Governatrice Missrine Huratal I created using proscribed technology. She was the fruit of her mother's desperate gambit to hold on to power and prevent the ascension of one of her relatives. Many were those at court who considered her a monstrosity, but Missrine Huratal I insisted that her vat-grown "child" be treated as the legitimate heir to her throne. In truth her mere existence was a reason for sanction. At the time of the Geratomran Reconquest, Missrine Huratal II was only a small child, barely able to speak yet alone defend herself. The child was kidnapped from her crib by Dostain Huratal and killed before the eyes of her mother during the bloody night of Dostain's coup.Heir the Third Pollein Huratal - Younger sister to Planetary Governatrice Missrine Huratal I, Pollein Huratal was always an unconventional child. Never having developed a taste for power and content to let others plot for power, Pollein was very different from the other Geratomran nobles. Where all the nobles of the court were quite obese as Geratomran tradition dictated, she had stayed slim and light, a beautiful women by wider Imperial standards. Where others preferred to stay inside, Pollein enjoyed wandering the hills and plains around Magor's Seat, often staying the entire day outside in the wilds. This eventually led to her discovery of a strange pillar where on the verge of night and day the Devil-in-the-Bush would manifest itself. Instead of being ensnared by the daemon outright, the cunning entity befriended the young woman, dancing with her and talking with her to alleviate her loneliness. The Devil-in-the-Bush's interest in Pollein Huratal was driven by the fact that she was a latent psyker -- and one of considerable power at that --  protected from being abducted by the Black Ships of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica by the actions of her older sister. Siphoning power from her to remain permanently in the Materium, the Devil-in-the-Bush used Pollein to corrupt Dostain Huratal into worshiping the Chaos God Slaanesh. After aiding her nephew in the brutal murder of Missrine Huratal II, Pollein became the bride of the newly crowned Planetary Governor Dostain Huratal. As the feast given in honour of her marriage degenerated into the vile practices beloved of the followers of Slaanesh, the Devil-in-the-Bush and its allies from the Emperor's Children secreted Pollein away, beginning to alter her body and mind to use it as a living Warp Rift from which the daemonic legions of Slaanesh would be able to launch their own invasion of Geratomro. While Pollein soul was lost during the foul ritual conducted by her daemonic seducer, her hideously transformed body was destroyed by a shot from the Shadowsword Lux Imperator of the 7th Paragonian Super Heavy Tank Company.Colonel Maden - Colonel Maden of the Geratomran Planetary Defence Militia was the military commander of the city of Matua Superior. While he fought to the best of his capabilities, Maden was also sensible enough to seek peace with the invading Imperial forces rather than risk the full devastation of the city whose safety he had been entrusted with. Colonel Maden met his end bravely, officially repenting for his misdeeds and failures in the eyes of the Emperor in a public ceremony before being consigned to the pyre. As a testimony to the man's strength of will, he only began to scream a full 30 solar seconds after the pyre had been lit.Captain Oravan - Captain Oravan was the commander of the company of Magorian Yellow Guard tasked with the protection of Planetary Governatrice Missrine Huratal I. However reluctant he was to take up arms against the Imperium, as a loyal servant of his mistress Captain Oravan nevertheless orchestrated the massacre of the Departmento Munitorum's envoys and the destruction of his world's Adeptus Arbites precinct. Captain Oravan was killed on the night of Dostain's coup, crushed alongside 20 of his men by the psychic powers of the Herald of Slaanesh summoned by Dostain and Pollein Huratal.
