Changes

This occurred after he somehow emerged alive from the waters of the '''River Tristesse''' and was found by [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Montaig]]'s squadron near the [[Angels Resplendent]]'s [[Fortress Monastery]]. The Sergeant was at first going to kill the scarred and boil covered Martyr, who was nearly his size, as no [[Human]] could have survived to cross the Tristesse. However Montaig stayed his hand, after he saw an [[Aquila]] hanging from the Martyr's neck, who asked, "Do I still dream?". The Aquila led the Sergeant to instead deliver the Martyr to [[Chaplain]] [[Malvoisin]] who would decide his fate. This proved to be a significant decision for the Chapter, as despite bearing a fatal looking chest wound, the Martyr was able to talk to the Chaplain for days. It was during that time, that he convinced the Chaplain that [[Mankind]] was corrupt and the war to save the [[Imperium]] was lost. The Martyr declared that the [[Space Marines]] were the greatest sinners of all, which was made obvious by their failures during the [[Horus Heresy]]. There was now no hope left in the galaxy - [[Lethean Revelation|only penitence and pain ]] for sins committed in the past and future. After the 19th day of their discussions, Malvoisin declared to the Angels that the Martyr was a prophet of the [[Emperor]]. This caused the Chapter to listen to his words and with their [[Chapter Master]], [[Varzival]], away campaigning, no one could stop the Angels from falling under the Martyr's sway. He became their spiritual leader and declared the Chapter to be too prideful and vain. The Martyr demanded they destroy everything that tied them to their sinful past and the [[Great Purge]] began. Gripped in self-hatred by the Martyr's revelations about their Chapter, most of the Angels did as he commanded asked, with only the [[Librarians]] refusing to follow his orders. This led them to become targets for the Chapter's wrath and Chaplain Malvoisin led the attack that killed [[Chief Librarian]] [[Athanazius]] and the other Librarians. With their deaths, the [[Angels Penitent]] were born and the Martyr's control over the Chapter was complete.{{Fn|1}}
