The '''Prophet of Redemption''' is a spiritual figure who appeared after the [[Battle of Cinderak City]] on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], creating a spiritual awakening centered around the cult of the "Lost saint".{{Fn|1c}} The Prophet was revealed to be a puppet of [[Ozostium Aranthus]], who controlled him trough his immense [[Warp]]-tainted psychic powers.{{Fn|1i}}
[[File:ProphetofRedemption.jpg|thumb|right|250px|the Prophet of Redemption{{Fn|1a}}]]
==Appearance==
Emerging from the ruins of [[Cinderak City]], the Prophet gave a powerful sermon from atop a wrecked [[Cargo-8 Ridgehauler]]. Tens of thousands, including locals and [[Scrutinator]]s sent to spy on the crusade, gathered to listen. Devotees marked themselves with a seven-pointed scar over their hearts. Speaking in the voice of the [[Lost Saint]], the Prophet's words resonated deeply, transforming doubts into faith and converting even those initially opposed to him. A halo of flame reportedly illuminated the Prophet, visible from [[Hive Primus]] and attracting more followers.{{Fn|1c}}
The most significant impact of the Prophet's message was on the inhabitants of Hive Primus and nearby hives. The saint's voice inspired them to begin their journey toward Hive Temenos, marking the start of the [[Great Pilgrimage]].{{Fn|1c}}
[[House Cawdor]] felt particulary threatened, being so intertwined with the [[Cult of Redeption]],{{Fn|1d}} and the Thane of House Cawdor, Lord Mormaers, was eventually chased away from the [[Palace of Bones]] by fanatical devotee of the prophet.{{Fn|1e}}. Thane Mormaer, having barely escaped the Palace of Bones, rallied [[Word-Keeper]]s and Cawdors to declare the Prophet a heretic under the banner of the ''True Redemption''. Mormaer’s army met the Prophet’s forces at the [[Waters of Soronous]] but was soundly defeated.{{Fn|1g}}
==Invasion of Temenos==
As the pilgrimage reached [[Temenos]], Cardinal [[Ahrmund]] opened the gates to the Prophet's followers, and after an initial fighting between the pilgrims and the local [[Enforcer]]s, The Prophet himself approached the Enforcers, causing most to drop their weapons and fall at his feet, kissing his hands in tears. Only Scrutinator [[Servalen]], a [[Blank]], remained unaffected.{{Fn|1h}}
Eventually the Prophet and his followers reached the [[Vaults of Temenos]], and witnessed the awakening of the Lost Saint, [[Ozostium Aranthus]].{{Fn|1i}}
