Warhammer Inquisitor

This article is to add some important setting content outside the story. This article is about the relationship between the protagonist and the historical records of the empire, as well as the state religion.

As you can see, Vito is the founding father of the empire. He helped the emperor unify Terra and carry out great expeditions. His spiritual ability is also very strong, almost second only to the emperor. The relationship between the two is also very good, so Vito also has a significant share in the official record of the record.

In the official historical records of the Empire, Vito Constantine is clearly written as the great founder of the Empire, the founder of the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Navy and all the armed forces of the Empire, including the Space Marines.

In the time before the early unification of Terra and the return of the Primarch, Vito himself was the commander-in-chief of the Thunder Warrior and the early Astartes Legion. The official title was awarded to Horus. After Horus became the Warmaster, Vito was on equal footing with Horus, and the two were cooperating in command with the left and right hands.

Closer to home, Vito is known as the founder of the empire’s power because the protagonist himself formulated and created all the military regulations, strategies and tactics of the empire, etc., and his status is about equal to the "Astarte Codex" written by Guilliman later.

During Vito's tenure as Supreme Marshal, he led twenty legions across half the galaxy, and the area of ​​the world he conquered was comparable to that of any of the best Primarchs.

Therefore, in the official history of the empire, Vito has a very high historical and political status. Even if the Primarchs of the Great Expedition returned one by one and reorganized their respective legions with their own style, the team tactics and weapons formulated by Vito The usage specifications and command organization are still in use. The mortal legions of each legion and the navy have completely followed the imperial military dogma written by Vito. Seen as a creator, founder and great pioneer.

Vito was not deleted, forgotten and ignored by the imperial officials. On the contrary, his status has always been very high, but after all, he was a "legendary figure" 10,000 years ago. With the passage of time, he has changed from history to legend, from legend to It has become a myth, and it has been regarded as a mythical figure in the Empire, one of the "gods" of the Empire along with the Emperor.

Therefore, in the teachings of the state religion, Vito's status is also a god, worshiped and enshrined like the emperor, but his religious status is more similar to that of the apostles in Christianity, and will be praised by people, but it is still a belief attached to the emperor part.

So people will worship the Emperor and praise the "God of War" Vito, but most of them still remember the Emperor. After all, with the current education level of the Empire, it is difficult for ignorant people to remember the extremely complicated dogma of the state religion content.

Its image is the same as the emperor after the baptism of faith and years in the religious frenzy of thousands of years. It has been completely unrecognizable by Vito himself. Now the Vito Constantine in the state religion is a perfect, holy , the god without a trace of blemish, the saint, is very different from the real Vito.

This is also the image of the various Primarchs in the religion of the Empire today. People continue to pile up all hope, worship and awe on it, resulting in a completely changed image. It really pulls the Primarchs out to see the state religion of the Empire They themselves would be amazed at their descriptions.

Vitor also exists in the Church of the State Church, in the headquarters of the State Church on Terra, the statues of all the loyal Primarchs are enshrined in the shrines below the icon of the Emperor, and one of the shrines belongs to Vitor.

Precisely because it has not been forgotten in the empire, and its status is very high, there are many people in the later empires who take the same name as "Vito Constantine", especially among the nobles, those who take this name from military families Especially many.

Military aristocrats regard this name as a holy name. Giving this name to a child means sacredness and greatness. It is also a kind of amulet to pray for the blessing of the "God of War Vito" to bless him in the future.

That's why Vito didn't change his name, but that's why no one in the current empire can recognize him. His name and image have long since become part of the current empire, so that they no longer belong to him.

That's why no one knew him, no one ever realized that the myth of his religion had actually been among the people of the Empire for ten thousand years, and had been forgotten in a strange way.
