	.... ehem ... as I was saying... '''Living Saints''' are, as the name implies, saints who are canonized before death. Often, this is due to the ability to perform fantastic miracles seemingly at will, such as resurrecting the dead, rapidly healing from even the most grievous wounds, or making daemons spontaneously combust with a glance. They're basically [[Awesome\|zombie-Buddhist angels with absolutely ''fabulous'' hair.]] Living Saints are almost always members of the [[Adepta Sororitas]] and thus mostly female; however, Living Saints have also arisen from the ranks of the Imperial Guard.		.... ehem ... as I was saying...

	*'''[[Saint Gerstahl]]''' - A legendary soldier of the Imperial Guard who fought in the defence of the Cadian Gate. He was prophesied to return during the 3rd Black Crusade and fuck up Chaos.

			*'''[[Saint Katherine]]''' - Alicia Dominica's second in command, who would later found the Order of the Fiery Heart. While canonized, she didn't get all the superpowers of faith. Nowadays her remains are paraded around as a sacred relic.

	*'''[[Saint Lozepath]]''' - Protector of Salandraxis and an arrogant asshole. Despite being utterly dedicated to the Emperor, Lozepath was insanely jumped up on his divine status. He threatened the Chapter Master of the Angels Eradicant with death and burned the eyes out of a Cardinal, all because they questioned his command. However, he could back his dickishness up with sheer power. Though he didn't have the badass wings of other Living Saints, Lozzy was surrounded at all times by a shimmering field of holy energy, and could channel the same energy into disintegrating blasts from his power sword. He was ultimately slain by Kharn the Betrayer, but not before having a giant statue of the Emperor dropped on him and killing a metric ton of Black Legion and World Eater Spehss Marines.		*'''[[Saint Lozepath]]''' - Protector of Salandraxis and an arrogant asshole.
