'''Erekart Veneris Sanguinan Mesring'''{{Fn|7}} was [[Ecclesiarch]] of the [[Adeptus Ministorum]] in mid-[[M32]] during the [[War of the Beast]]. == History ==Hailing from the powerful shipping family of House Mesring, Mesring voted in favor of his family's financial interests as opposed to that of humanity's in the [[Senatorum Imperialis]]. This included voting against expanding shipyards on [[Uranus]] despite their safety in order to protect House Mesring's holdings in the [[Tang Sector]]. Mesring was a close ally of the powerful [[Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy]] [[Lansung]], forming his most important ally among the High Lords alongside [[Master of the Administratum]] [[Tobris Ekharth]].{{Fn|1}}
Mesring was highly elitist, slapping subordinates with his obese hand even for looking at his jewelry. However this could not save him from the [[Grand Master of Assassins]] [[Drakan Vangorich]], who infiltrated the [[Ecclesiarchal Palace ]] and poisoned him. Vangorich instructed Mesring that he only had 3 days to live, and if he wanted the antidote he would declare a [[War of Faith]] against [[The Beast]] and force Lansung to redeploy his fleets against the Greenskins.{{Fn|2}} After Mesring accomplished this, he is still seen alive several weeks later, which was apparently due to somehow acquiring his own antidote as Vangorich intended for him to die.{{Fn|3b}}
