'''Goge Vandire''' was the trigger to the [[Age of Apostasy]] that nearly tore the [[Imperium]] apart. He became known as a megalomaniac, and at the end, almost completely insane. He attained the important position of the [[Master of the Administratum]], and thus a [[High Lords of Terra|High Lord of Terra]], through assassination and threats, and later manipulated the [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Paulis III]] to secure control over the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. Vandire later declared Paulis a heretic and murdered him, assuming this position as well. As both Ecclesiarch and Master of the Administratum, Vandire became the most powerful individual in the Imperium.
In later years, he became more and more paranoid, unstable and increasingly easily angered, his mental state at times turning him into a drooling fool. At the peak of his power he effectively controlled not only the Administratum and Ecclesiarchy but also the [[Officio Assassinorum]], [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]], and [[Imperial Guard]].<sup>4</sup> In the end he was executed by [[Alicia Dominica]], the leader of his own bodyguard, the [[Sisters of Battle|Brides of the Emperor]].
