Necromunda Klovis the Redemer

Based in Hive Primus, the capital hive city of Necromunda, the noble House Cawdor is
the stronghold of the Adeptus Ministorum's fanatical Cult of the Redemption, whose
prophets foretell of universal destruction. Although the cult has its adherents
throughout the hive, in House Cawdor it has attained the status of an official religion.
For this reason, the House is also known as the House of Redemption. Members of
House Cawdor are forbidden to show their faces in public, and so they wear elaborate
masks to conceal their identities.
Klovis the Redeemer is a legend in his own lifetime and a force to be reckoned with.
From his fortress in the Ash Wastes, two weeks journey from Hive Primus, Klovis
launches Crusades which are notorious for the slaughter they bring. After the Arch
Zealot himself, Klovis the Redeemer is perhaps the most notorious Redemptionist in
the Underhive. He battles tirelessly against the infidels, scourging Heretics and
purging mutants. His righteous acts of merciful execution are chronicled by the hand
of his faithful scribe, Deacon Malakev, who is also charged with carrying the large
tome of tortures known as the Liber Excruciatus. Klovis often leads a loyal flock of
dedicated Zealots on Redemptionist Crusades into the Underhive. These are crazed
individuals that are members of the Necromundan Redemeptionist cults who have
been touched by the Emperor's fury. Klovis also leads a cowardly Ratskin named
Brude, whom he rescued from a life of sin, turning him from his heretical ways into a
faithful follower of the Imperial Creed.

Wargear
In battle Klovis wears the sacred vestments of his calling - heavy padded robes with
mesh armour beneath it. He also wears his customary ornate Redeemer mask and a
crown of iron that is connected to two canisters of Promethium on his back, enabling
the crown to constantly burn with the righteous flame of his zeal. In close quarters
battle, he can turn a valve on the fuel canisters on his back, causing the flames of his
crown to release a large blast of fire to burn his enemies.
 Sword of Persecution - A massive two-handed Chainsword known as an
Eviscerator, fitted with a master-crafted Exterminator flame cartridge, to
slice and burn the unbelievers. The large canisters of Promethium upon his back
ensures that the righteous flames of his weapon never run out in the heat of
battle.
 Pulpitek - A specially made armoured half-track vehicle that travels the Ash
Wastes and the corrupt byways of the Underhive. The Pulpitek is also heavily
armed with an array of Autocannons. From the command pulpit of his vehicle,
the Redeemer can preach his fiery oratory while commanding his loyal flock in
the midst of battle.
