	Living Ancestors are super, duper old [[Squats]] who have become [[Psyker\|psychic]] by sheer age alone. The typical lifespan for a Squat is about 300 years. However a small portion of the population can live up to 800 years. This select part of Squat society are treated with enormous respect, being known as Living Ancestors or Spirit Lords. On the other hand [[/tg/]] likes to imagine them with the personality akin to [[Papalith]] and [[Bjorn the Fell Handed]].

	They are treated as living members of the ancestor group which forms the basis of Squat religion. Their long lives have filled them with wisdom, as well as enhanced their psychic potential, which begin to manifest at around 500 years old. The fact that psychic powers are practically unknown amongst other Squats makes the Living Ancestor doubly venerated.

	Living Ancestors were worth around 190 points. While they may start off as mediocre and a bit underwhelming with just a single [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Combat Knife\|combat knife]].

	Early in their history, the Kin figured out how to dim their souls to make sure that certain [[Khorne\|rambunctious,]] [[Nurgle\|chummy,]] [[Tzeentch\|nerdy,]] [[Slaanesh\|and artistic]] sorts would have a tough time getting their mitts onto all that [[Dark Age of Technology]] goodness they had kicking around. This had the knock-on effect of shooting their psychic potential in the foot in a manner very similar to the [[Tau\|space commies]], which was a problem since the [[Votann]] themselves have a lot of their data stored behind "empyric" locks that require warp-fuckery to access. So, in a great bout of [[Just As Planned\|common sense]], the Votann devised a Cloneskein for psykers so that the Leagues would always have some psychic might kicking around, but in a more controlled and focused manner via Barrier Tech compared to [[Black Ships\|rounding up anyone with a slightly weird mannerism to cart them off to a lifetime of misery]] [[Astronomican\|followed by an agonizing death to become fuel for a psychic lighthouse.]] The Grimnyr are also defended by two mechanical [[~~COG~~\|CORVs]], that hover alongside them.
