Arch-Militant

An Arch-militant is an Imperial warrior of nigh-incomparable martial skill who has mastered nearly every form of battle, military tactics and individual combat. An Arch-militant then puts that knowledge to the use of a Rogue Trader and his or her dynasty. The Age of the Imperium is an age of total war, an age of bloodshed and toil into which every human being, from the lowliest hive-serf to the highest scion of nobility, is born. No life is untouched by the incessant wars that plague the Imperium of Man, and countless lives are shed each standard year to hold at bay the forces of the Traitor, the Heretic, and the alien. From amongst the uncounted ranks of human warriors step those for whom a life of bloodshed and war is not a death sentence, but rather a calling. Such men and women are sometimes called Arch-militants, for they have faced death over and over and have mastered every terror the savage galaxy has to offer.
