Lucian Augusti of House Corvo had once been among the most powerful men in the Anthvean Empire. He called the Emperor a personal friend, and controlled absolutely the production of salignis, a powerful magical explosive upon which the Imperial Legion had come to rely. However, his downfall was swift and brutal. When civil war broke out following the Emperor''''s demise, Lucian backed his son for the throne. A cruel, ambitious man, the new Emperor was quick to turn upon Lucian when it was revealed that several of his assistants had defected to the opposing side, taking with them the secret of producing salignis and allowing the rebels to fight loyalist forces on equal footing.
