Sebastian Thor was the shadowy and ill defined figure who led the people of the Imperium in the overthrow of the insane tyrant of the Ecclesiarchy Goge Vandire.
It is conjectured that Thor was a simple preacher born on the world of Dommammar and nothing is known of him before his rise to power. During the reign of blood when Goge Vandire was at the head of the Ecclesiarchy, Thor began to proselytise his people and lead them into opposition against Vandire, the warriors sent to kill him were destroyed by a warp storm that came to be known as the storm of the Emperor's wrath, suggesting that the Emperor himself was aiding Thor. Thor soon began a crusade to Terra, attracting several space marine chapters and the adeptus mechanicum to support him. After Vandire's defeat Thor became the Ecclesiarch and attempted to reform the Imperial Cult and the Ecclesiarchy to be more in line with what the Emperor had wanted for the Imperium. Unfortunately these reforms did not long survive Thor's death, and for his opposition to the excesses of the Ecclesiarchy, the very same institution know shuns his memory for the truth it would shine on their own corruption. Thus a man who single handedly saved the Imperium is now all but forgotten by the ordinary citizens of the Imperium, those very same people he attempted to help.
