Calligos rose from complete anonymity and claimed to be the rightful heir of the dynasty. In a single week, the regents that controlled the Winterscale warrant either bowed to his will or vanished. Various rumours attest that Calligos either is or is not the legitimate heir to Arturos Winterscale or that he grew up as a pit-fighter in the lowest decks of [[Footfall]].
What is known for sure about Calligos is the stuff of legend: he rammed the Kroozer of the dread [[Freebooter]] Kaptin Snagrash Da Burna, led the boarding parties, and hewed Snagrash's head from his shoulders; he walked the surface of [[Somnium]] even as his ment men went mad and attacked each other while the spirits shirked from his wrath; he has hunted beasts on [[Burnscour]]; he drove the [[Eldar]] [[corsair]] vessel ''Silence of Eternity'' from the [[Koronus Expanse]]; and he has journeyed to the systems on the edge of the [[Hecaton Rift]]. In personal combat, Winterscale wields a [[power axe]] named ''Breaker'', a [[storm bolter]] named ''Hostile Argument'', and a mono-knife named ''Fair Point'', all of the best craftsmanship in the [[Imperium]].
Calligos Winterscale's interests span the Koronus Expanse, centred on [[Winterscale's Realm]]. His fleet contains ships of every description but numbers more ships of the line than other rogue traders, as befits his warlike nature. The flagship of his fleet is the grand [[cruiser]] ''[[Emperor's Vow]]''. His endeavours include arms dealing, the Cold Trade, smuggling, piracy, exploration, and even legitimate trade ventures. If there is a way to make money, one of Winterscale's agents is doing it right now.
