The Imperial sigil of the Rogue Traders
Arturos Winterscale was the head of the Rogue Trader House Winterscale in the Koronus Expanse of the Segmentum Obscurus. When he died he left no heirs to the house's Warrant of Trade, which was held by a small group of regents.
Then a man named Calligos Winterscale rose from complete anonymity to claim to be the rightful heir of House Winterscale. In a single solar week, the regents that controlled House Winterscale's Warrant of Trade while they searched out new heirs to its legacy either bowed to his will or simply vanished. Various rumours attest that Calligos Winterscale either is or is not the legitimate heir to Arturos Winterscale's dynasty or that he grew up as a pit-fighter in the lowest decks of Footfall.
