[[Image:St.Sabbat.jpg|left|thumb|Saint Sabbat, from an Imperial frescoe]]
The Imperial Saint, '''Saint Sabbat''', is described as a small but beautiful green eyed girl with short black hair. She was born circa 500.[[M35]] on the pastoral world of [[Hagia]], in the region that afterwards became known as the [[Sabbat Worlds]], to a simple shepherd. At this time, while humans loyal to the [[Imperium]] had established footholds in the region, much of it was incredibly wild, ruled by the hand of [[Chaos]] as well as hostile [[xenos]]. Even those planets that were ostensibly loyal to the [[Emperor]] were well outside the bounds of the [[Civitas Imperialis]].
Little is known in detail of her history but what is known is that in her early life she was inspired by a vision of the Emperor to rally humanity and liberate the entire region in a great [[crusade]] against the [[Ruinous Powers]]. Her achievements overshadow those of many a [[Lord General Militant]], while her teachings lead all Imperial citizens to a simplicity and wisdom that belied reflected her humble origins.
At the height of her powers she counted at her side many of the time's most brilliant strategists including [[Kiodrus|Lord Kiodrus]], the great field commander who one day was himself beatified, as well as the strategist [[Faltornus]], and many other notables. Her host included warriors of the [[Astartes]] including the [[Brazen Skulls]] and the [[White Scars]], as well as a command of [[Sisters of Battle|Sisters Militant]], colonial regiments, and pilgrim retinues.
