House Grigoris

House Grigoris is one of the Navis Nobilite bloodlines of the Imperium. Their service in the Imperial Navy stretches back to the Age of Apostasy, and they are renowned for producing Navigators of distinction. Near the end of the 41st Millenium, however, they placed under house arrest by the actions of one Kokabiel Grigoris.

Kokabiel's heresy brought shame and scrutiny upon House Grigoris. With the household's susceptibility to corruption called into question, Lord Militant Solomon Tetrarchus ordered all of its members recalled from active duty and confined to the Grigoris' temporary estate on Carmyn, pending a full investigation by the Ordo Malleus.

As of 817.M41 all but three members House Grigoris are accounted for:
 * Araqiel Grigoris: The status of the Grigoris Novator is currently unknown. Taken into protective custody -- some say abducted -- by an agent of the Ordo Xenos, Araqiel's disappearance weakened the already faltering position of his house. Puritans within the Ordo Malleus loudly accuse Radical elements of the Ordo Xenos of intentionally sabotaging an ongoing investigation.
 * Azazel Grigoris: Still serving aboard the Might of Terra, an Apocalypse-class Battleship long trapped behind enemy lines in the wake of Hive Fleet Dagon.
 * Penemue Grigoris: Vanished in the Charon Stars shortly after Tetrarchus's recall order. Intercepted Astropathic communiqués suggest she planned to seek out Kokabiel and return him to the Emperor's light.

The Unconverted
Not every Navigator brought before Kokabiel Grigoris is a willing convert. Navigators abducted in raids, captured in boarding actions, or traded to the Cyclopean Congregation by desperate crew, are loath to risk damnation at the foot of a self proclaimed prophet.

Those who reject Kokabiel's offer of enlightenment and initiation into the Congregation suffer a fate few planet-bound humans understand. With a savage twist of his talon-like fingers, Kokabiel rends the apostate's Third Eye, plucking the sensitive organ from the victim's forehead.

Deprived of their Warp-sight and rendered useless in the eyes of the Navis Nobilite, Kokabiel turns these unfortunates free. Some are dropped into Imperial territory, mutilated reminders of Kokabiel's private crusade. Others are ransomed back to their households.

The worst of these wander bilge decks of the Burden of Revelation, their pitiful cries reverberating throughout the ancient bulkheads.
