'''Sebastian Thor''' was the shadowy and ill defined figure who led the people of the [[Imperium]] in the overthrow of the insane [[High Lord]] tyrant [[Goge Vandire]].
It is conjectured that Thor was a simple preacher born on the world of [[Dimmamar]] and little else is known of him before his rise to power. During the [[Reign of Blood]] as [[Goge Vandire]] was at the head of the [[Ecclesiarchy]], Thor began to proselytise his people and lead them into opposition against Vandire. Vandire dispatched a fleet to crush the rebellion and kill Thor, but the fleet was wiped out by a [[warp storm]] that came to be known as the [[Storm of the Emperor's Wrath]], suggesting that the [[Emperor]] himself was aiding Thor. After this, the Imperium erupted into rebellion against Vandire.
Thor soon began a crusade to Terra, attracting several [[Space Marine]] chapters and the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to support him. After Vandire's defeat Thor became the Ecclesiarch and reformed the [[Imperial Cult]] and the Ecclesiarchy to be more in line with what the Emperor had wanted for the Imperium.
