Stigmartus Officer-Bishop

I shall whip you and brand you and castigate your flesh until there is nothing left but scars, within and without! Only then will you know what it means to be Stigmartus! –Commandant Faustaff Keel of the Bolgran Terrors

Stigmartus Officer-Bishops command the Stigmartus hordes, initiate new recruits, and impart the tactics and doctrine of Elak Sarda. Equal parts general and priest, they are composed almost entirely of former warlords of Khazant and their descendants, the blood of a thousand tyrants flowing through their veins.

In general, a given Officer-Bishop is armed with a Samech-pattern Chainsword, a compact laspistol, and a Strigmartus Officer's lash. Though primitive, said-lash is three meters long, flexible and meant for tearing at the flesh of its victims.

Wearing xenoleather officer's coat, the officer-bishop commonly carries a Data-slate, a personal encrypted comm-link, and ritual scarification implements.
