Description

Personality

Lt. B. Cromwell is the very definition of a Ministorum priest. He is fanatically devoted to the Emperor and is an excellent speaker when it comes to getting his units into a divine frenzy. Aside from this, he is typically calm, reserved and level headed, no matter the situation. He has no patience for the foolish or irreverent, and any blasphemy is typically met with violence.

Equipment

Solomon favors an Eviscerator chainsword above all others, and has a seldom used autogun built into his cybernetic left arm.

Beyond this, he wear his ecclisiarchy robes over his xeno mesh armor. He also has a rosarius, only it is rather faulty due to it having been broken in the fighting and only works on occasion, this is quite a thing to witness in and of itself and have reaffirmed his flock's belief that he is indeed protected by the Master of Mankind.
Lastly he carries a handful of grenades on his person, just in case he has to cover his flock in the event of a retreat.

History

The little that is known about Lieutenant Bishop Solomon is that he came from a far off church on an isolated shrine world over 30 years ago.
He was raised within it's hallowed walls and was trained in the ways of combat as well as learning all things a promising young cleric of the church should.

Solomon grew fast and strong, and was surprisingly intelligent, even compared to his peers.
They called him the Gentle Giant due to his size, and his kindness and caring to those around him. He helped those in need and guided those needing to find the path once more.

All that changed however, one fateful day armies of invading Orks landed upon the soil of his homeworld and warred against his people. The young priest fought long and hard, killing more than his fair shade of Greenskins, but no matter how hard he fought or how many he killed, they kept coming.
For days, maybe more, he kept his fellow clerics and those of his flock safe, but they were found, and his people were slaughtered. The Orks killed and fought until only Solomon himself remained.
Things looked bleak, but then out of the clouds, like angels, or demi-gods, a legion of the Adeptes Astartes, backed by legions of Imperial Guard came raining down on the planet and made short work of the invaders.

The Astartes commended him for his skill and bravery and attempted to recruit them, but he felt the Emperor pulling him elsewhere and instead, joined the Imperial Legion.


For years he has skipped across the galaxy, fighting and killing in the name of the Emperor.

He was transferred a few weeks ago to the 234th to replace one of the warpriests who had been slain, leaving her company without the words of the blessed Emperor to guide them. Solomon volunteered but was separated from them once more shortly after the fighting began.
