Editing Luthor Huss (section)

==From Humble Beginnings==
Despite his fame in the Warhammer world, Huss' origins are actually a bit murky...in fact, Luthor Huss wasn't even his birth name. All we know about his origins are that one day at a Sigmarite Temple Adso Theiss, the elderly Sigmarite Priest that maintained the Temple, found a random twelve-year-old boy standing outside the Temple doors in the cold and rain. Theiss tried asking the boy's name and when that failed he instead asked what he was doing at the temple, with the nameless boy simply replying that he wished to learn. What caught the Priest's attention as he heard this was the boys piercing brown eyes, which were filled with a grim determination quite unlike anything Theiss had seen from a child. Although reluctant Theiss allowed the boy to live at the temple and as luck would have it the boy soon proved his worth to the old priest. The boy worked from dawn to dusk, aiding Theiss in many errands and impressing the old Priest with his enthusiasm to learn the Sigmarite faith. After a month at the temple, he was reading primers designed for acolytes older than him. After two months he had progressed to the catechisms. After a year he had read the entirety of the "Life of Sigmar" and had begun to wrestle with Uwe Mordecai’s dense and difficult "Thoughts on the Nature of Faith". He surpassed his fellow acolytes in everything, and they hated him for it. Out of jealousy they thrashed and beat the boy, but the boy held his ground and didn't fight back. In time, Theiss decided that calling his student "boy" or "acolyte" was too annoying to do all the time and so the priest asked him to pick out a new name. In response the boy took a book containing the lives of all important saints and heroes of Sigmar's faith and started to rifle through it before he picked out two individuals; Aldrecht Luthor and Bohrs Huss. Thus based on this the priest finally gave the boy a proper name; Luthor Huss.

After nearly four years, Luthor Huss grew ever more powerful and strong, soon towering over every occupant within the very Temple itself. The young man spent every waking moment learning, training, and conditioning himself to become an exceptional priest of the church. Not wanting to raise a mindless zealot, the elderly Father soon began to tutor the young child about the true meaning of faith, and the uniqueness of the human spirit. Ever eager to learn more, Luthor was finally allowed to follow Father Thiess on his journey to bring comfort to the lands around his Temple. As they traveled, Father Theiss finally taught the young lad how to field his war hammer like a true Priest of Sigmar.

After four days, the two eventually reached the village of Hnel, where the old priest began the rites that would bless the inhabitants for some time. It was upon this backwater village that Luthor finally saw the wider world for what it truly was, and it was nothing like how it was described written within the holy tomes of the Temple. Poverty and squalor were everywhere, and the people he was meant to minister, lead, and protect only seemed to make him sick with their weakness. Yet the greatest revelation upon that day was that Luthor finally learned the true extent and limits of his own abilities.

A young yet beautiful girl no more than sixteen years of age was afflicted with Black Fever, and Luthor Huss, in his determination fought hard to bring the girl's soul back from the abyss of death. Through his soul, the young Warrior Priest tried to bring the girl back from the brink, but at the last moment, the soul faded away into darkness. To young Luthor, she was an angel, and his inability to save her stung deep. It was upon the sight of Huss kneeling down, his hands held to his face in grief, that Theiss came upon as he continued his rounds throughout the village. The old Priest tried to comfort Huss telling the young lad that he was no Priest of [[Morr]], nor a healer. He was a Warrior Priest of Sigmar, and his duty is to the living, to give them hope, to remain strong, and to comfort them when no others will. The world Theiss said was full of daemons and angels, and perhaps if Luthor should live long enough, he would soon find another angel again. Taking the lesson to heart a sadder but wiser Huss then left the village with his mentor.

As Luthor grew stronger, his mentor Thiess grew weaker. In time, the old priest could no longer do the proper rites and made Luthor do such things in his stead. Needing a successor to the Temple, the old priest gave the young Warrior Priest one last test before placing the mantle of Priest upon his shoulders. Outfitted with armor and his mentor's war hammer, Luthor Huss traveled to the town of Wiesmund and confronted the foul [[Beastmen]] that had taken residence within the town's chapel. Though the Bray shaman who lead the horde was old and Luthor in the prime of youth, the creature was quick and still powerful. After much struggle, Luthor gathered what was left of his strength and strangled the creature until it lay limp. Yet the poison that it had infected Luthor with during the battle sapped him of his strength, making him fall unconscious. As he finally awoke, he struggled to make his way back to his home Temple, keen on keeping the promise to return for the old priest's last moments of life.

Unfortunately, Huss' return was anything but pleasant as upon returning to the temple he discovered that Theiss fearful of his impending death and pissed at having lived a life of work and drudgery had drunk the [[Chaos]] Koolaid and had undergone a ritual to make himself young again. Worse yet Huss also realized that his mentor was not alone in this debauchery as EVERY SINGLE OTHER ACOLYTE had also gotten themselves wrapped up in this Chaotic nonsense. Needless to say, Huss was rightfully pissed at this mess and proceeded to put down both his teacher and any of the acolytes he could get his hands on with extreme prejudice with the temple burning down in the aftermath. In the wake of this Huss felt the gnawing of a terrible, all-consuming doubt for the first time in his life. He heard the boom and crash of a tower falling in on itself in the temple, and the noise of it struck at his heart. As the fires spread and the remaining inhabitants fled to the forest, Luthor Huss stood like a statue as the last word's of his former tutor ring again and again in his mind.

''"You'll be alone, Luthor. You understand nothing of us. You know nothing of our temptations, for you are never tempted. A priest, oh yes. But a Man? A true Man? Never..."''

From then on, Huss knew he could never understand the weakness of others, and so with that in mind, he decided that he would never allow anyone to be close to him so that they wouldn't suffer the folly of his own blindness. So after Luthor looked to the east for a bit he stood up and walked down the hill, knowing full well that now that he started walking, he would never stop. This would be his crusade, a perpetual fight against evil throughout [[the Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)|the Empire]], his penance for his blindness being to remain alone, insulating humanity from his dreadful myopia...or so he thought.
