Changes

Alaric had been promoted to the rank of Justicar for two years before he was given control of any notable action. His first major command occurred when [[Inquisitor]] [[LigeaLigeia]] requested assistance from the [[Grey Knights]]. She had discovered that The Prince of a Thousand Faces, also known as [[Notable Chaos Characters#Ghargatuloth|Ghargatuloth]], was attempting to remanifest after a thousand year banishment. The daemon had first been banished by a force of Grey Knights led by [[Grand Master]] [[Mandulis]] on the [[Chaos]] held world of [[Khorion IX]]. This discovery was made after a strike force led by fellow Inquisitor [[Nyxos]] had apprehended a rogue Inquisitor named [[Gholic Ren-Sar Valinov]]. Valinov had in his possession a librum called [[Codicium Aeternum]]. This librum stated that the [[Emperor's Tarot]] predicted that the daemon would resurface somewhere on the [[Trail of Saint Evisser]]. Justicar Alaric had taken part in the raid that captured Ren-Sar Valinov, but was severly wounded; this allowed him to be present during this request, making him the obvious leader to assist Inquisitor LigeaLigeia. Most of the chapter had already been committed to the struggle at the [[Eye of Terror]] and the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] forcing Grand Master [[Tencendur]] to only commit a small strike force to assist Inquisitor Ligea.

Inquisitor Ligea Ligeia directed Alaric to the [[Agri-World]] of [[Victrix Sonora]] where a [[Administratum]] complex had fallen to cultists. The [[Adeptus Arbites]] had already surrounded the complex when the Grey Knights arrived. Alaric decided to assist the arbites to storm the building. After a short but intense firefight, the Grey Knights break into the building to discover a Chaos [[sorcerer]] protecting a Chaos infested cogitator which printed spools of paper reguarding the rise of the Prince of a Thousand faces. It was also surrounded by strange wooden statues. Alaric collected some of the papers and one statue in order to return it to Ligea Ligeia for study, the rest he ordered burned before it could corrupt any of the valiant arbites.

The statue would lead the Grey Knights to the [[Feudal World]] of [[Sophano Secondus]]. Ligea Ligeia commanded the Grey Knights stay on the Rubicon while she spoke with the current priest at the Imperial mission on the planet. After a warp storm erupts around the capital city of Hadjisheim, Alaric takes his srike force to the planet. Alaric takes his squads aboard two [[Thunderhawk Gunships]] to retrive the Inquisitor and purge the cult from Sophano Secondus. During the purge, the two Thunderhawks are lost to sabotage. The Grey Knights were successful in rescuing the Inquisitor.

Inquisitor Legia Ligeia eventually succumbs to her studies of the Prince of a Thousand Faces, leaving Alaric alone to discover how best to defeat the daemon. Alaric decides that the best place to look is at the Saint himself. The strike force travels to [[Farfallen]] to the Hall of Remembrance to collect information on Evisser. During this he discovers that Evisser was never canonized as a saint, and that he was from a corrupted planet.
