Changes

Stern's fate is inextricably linked with that of the [[Lord of Change]] named [[M'Kachen]], the instigator of the [[Cult of the Red Talon]]. During the [[Ordo Malleus]]'s destruction of the cult, Stern faced and banished the daemon back into the warp for one hundred years and a day. When the daemon was able to return to the mortal realm he was determined to find Stern and devour his soul. The two have faced each other in battle several times. If unable to personally face Stern, M'kachen sends one of his most powerful servants to attempt the deed for him.{{Cite This}} Stern has battled M'kachen three times so far. Each time, the Brother-Captain has proven his ability to withstand the power of the daemon and defeat the creature.{{Cite This}}

Stern is armed with a [[Nemesis Force Weapon]] and has a [[Storm Bolter]] integrated into his [[Terminator armour]]. He is also a trained [[psyker]] and has a plethora of [[Imperial Psychic Powers|Psychic powers]] at his command.{{Cite This}}

*''"There is nothing in the arcane and blasphemous arsenal of the forces of [[Chaos]] that can compare to faith. With the power of faith, our weapons become shining instruments of deliverance that can cleave the mightiest daemon in twain. With the power of faith, our minds appear as slivers of pure agony to the daemon, driving into the wretched forms of those who would dare stand before us. With the power of faith, our words become commands that cause the daemon to cower and cringe in terror. I could meet my enemies unarmed without a shred of fear in my chest, for I know that the Emperor watches over me and guides my hand. So let them come. We shall show them what the power of faith can do."''{{Cite This}}
