{{cite}}{{Inquisition Portal}}The '''Thorians''' are a sub-faction within of the [[Puritan]] side faction of the [[Inquisition]]. ==Overview==Generally considered as pro-resurrectionists, the Thorians' philosophy is named after the great hero of the [[Age of Apostasy]], [[Sebastian Thor]] who overthrew [[Goge Vandire]], the tyrannical [[High Lord of Terra]] who plunged the [[Imperium]] into the Age of Apostasy in the 36th Millennium. Its members believe that the [[Emperor]]´s spirit can be transferred into another host, referred to as a Divine Avatar, an especially gifted, charismatic and saintly individual. Many other Inquisitors work against this agenda, because if such a thing happened the Imperium would be torn apart in a massive conflict between believers and non-believers, resulting in a devastation similar to the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]].
The Thorians believe that Thor was divinely inspired and that he moved with the Emperor’s light burning within him. To many Inquisitors of the day, it was obvious that Thor was imbued with a measure of the Emperor’s will and charisma. They believed that it was not the first time that the Emperor had acted in such a way, citing such figures as St. Capilene and the hero Josmane as previous vessels of the Emperor walking amongst his people.
