'''Uriah Jacobus''', the '''Protector of the Faith''', was a [[missionary]] of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] who in his missionary duties, traversed the lightly inhabited region of space west of [[Bakka]]. By the age of fifty he had brought fifteen [[human]] worlds into the fold of the [[Imperial Cult]].
== History ==
He became a legendary figure while on the medieval world of [[Solstice]]. The now-famous Jacobus came to the world in order to bring the worship of the [[Emperor of Mankind]], first spending three years gaining knowledge of the inhabitants of Solstice, before beginning to introduce the precepts of [[Imperial]] worship into Solstice's own disorganised religion.
On meeting with the ruler of one of the world's kingdoms, Jacobus spied a horrific four-armed statue of the realm's god of death. Recognising the four armed statue as the unmistakable mark of [[Genestealer]] infiltration, Jacobus persuaded the more friendly rulers of the planet to align with each other and attack the [[alien]]-subverted kingdom. As soon as Jacobus arrived at the head of the loyal army the terrible truth became apparent as his army was attacked by swarm of [[Genestealer]]s. Managing to smash through a screen of human [[Brood Brother]]s, his knights reached the heart of the cult, slaying both the [[Genestealer Patriarch|Patriarch]] and [[Genestealer Magus|Magus]]. Thrown into disorientation and confusion at the sudden loss of their leaders, the rest of the cult were massacred in a final charge. The battle made Jacobus a legendary figure.
After Solstice, Jacobus managed to convert another six planets before dying of a lung-destroying virus on the [[Death World]] of [[Gorang]].{{Fn|1}}
