==History==
An imposing and cold man with a severely scarred face{{Fn|1c}}, at the time of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] Trajann was considered to be perhaps the deadliest individual warrior in the entire [[Imperium]], with his combat prowess approaching that of the [[Primarchs]] of old.{{Fn|6}}  Those who know of Valoris' existence speak of him with reverence and considered the Captain-General to be a representative of the [[Emperor]]. Originally an [[Allarus Custodian]], he has run two successful [[Blood Games]], a record that remains unbroken. While serving as an Allarus Custodian Trajann gained famed in the destruction of the [[Space Hulk]] ''[[Mournful Siren]]'', the defeat of the [[Genestealer Cult]] of the [[Cult of the Emperor's Writhing Shadow|Emperor's Writhing Shadow]], and spearheading a preemptive strike against [[Waaagh!]] [[Krushfist]]. After these feats he was accepted into the [[Companions]] for 22 years before he was reassigned due to his desire to be more proactive. Thereafter he gained the rank of [[Shield-Captain]] and spent several centuries leading sorties throughout the [[Sol System]] and beyond. He was elevated to the position of Captain-General following the death of [[Andros Launceddre]] during the [[Years of Madness]]. His rise has seen the Custodes become the most proactive they have been since the [[Age of Apostasy]].{{Fn|4b}} During his ruling the number of Blood Games greatly increased, long-hidden cults of the polar Terran underhives have been purged, thirty-two separate extrasolar interdiction strikes were launched{{Fn|4c}} and the defences of the stable warp routes into the Sol System have been strengthened. It is said that it is the [[Moment Shackle]] — a mysterious artefact of Valoris from the dark history of old Terra — that allowed him to predict [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s return so that he managed to adapt the Adeptus Custodes to the new Imperium in the ascension of the [[Primarch]].{{Fn|4a}}
Though the Captain-General traditionally only served as one of the [[High Lords of Terra]] under the most dire of circumstances, as during the [[War of the Beast]], the fervent persistence of Chancellor [[Lev Tieron]] persuaded Valoris to take the seat left open by Lord [[Brach]]. Tieron had hoped that Valoris would serve as the High Lords' deciding vote to abolish the [[Lex Imperialis]], which would allow the Custodes to leave Terra and fight against the [[Despoiler]]'s forces{{Fn|1a}}, but the Captain-General disagreed with this. He was about to vote no against the abolition and defeat the measure when pandemonium broke out as word of [[Cadia]]'s destruction reached the High Lords' chambers.{{Fn|1b}} Later it is revealed that Valoris had been quietly preparing the Custodes for war for some time and had possibly issued a summons for the reformation of the [[Sisters of Silence]] years in advance, making it suspect that his objection might have been a ploy to avoid tensions with the High Lords.{{Fn|1e}}
