Remembrancer

"Arm the bastards, and maybe they'll win us a battle in between verses."

--Leman Russ's high opinion on Remembrancers.

A Remembrancer was a blanket term for a variety of types of artist given the task of recording the glories of the Great Crusade. Very few of them were straightforward historians, as the Emp did not like that sort of thing. They along with the Iterators made up most of the non-Army personnel in the Expedition Fleets. Legions had varied opinions on them: The Emperor's Children loved them, the Sons of Horus were fine with them, and legions like the Death Guard, Space Wolves, and World Eaters hated them. They are featured throughout the Horus Hersey series.

Notable Members of the Remembrancer Order

• Kyril Sindermann - Primary iterator of the Imperial Truth, until he saw a Daemon and became a founding member of the Imperial Church.
• Euphrati Keeler - Human camera turned crazy ultra-charismatic psyker turned first Imperial Saint.
• Mersadie Oliton - An intrepid reporter that would have had sexual tension with Loken of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus, except he was an Astartes. Also one of the few Black people in all of 40k.
• Ignace Karkasy - Poet who saw the true grimdark of the Imperium, but chose to go off the deep end and make some poor choices and get murdered.
• Petronella Vivar - Horus' number one fan/biographer and rich asshole who should not have abused her bodyguard so much. Horus snapped her neck.
• Ostian Delafour - Sculptor who was better than Fulgrim because his statues were less perfect (Fulgim's were more like idealized automatons that dipped into the uncanny valley), and who chose to make a statue of the Emperor right in front of Chaos'd Fulgrim and got stabbed by Fulgrim for his troubles.
• Serena d'Angelus - Painter who realized under Slaanesh's influence how she could paint with all the colors of the human body (using human bodies as the paints), only to realize through her actual love of Ostian how crazy Fulgrim's fleet was and ended up killing herself along with Ostian.
• Bequa Kynska - Composer and total bitch who was primary Slaanesh fodder. She held a concert with some Imperial aristocrats and a few Emperors Children marines, pre-Horus Heresy, and her music eventually turned everyone into deranged psychopaths that murdered and raped everyone in the general area. She was killed by a Daemonette at the height of exctasy. The Emperor's Children eventually saw the novelty of this and gave way to the creation of Noise Marines. Her ancestor may or may not have been Rebecca Black.
• Mahavastu Kallimakus, Scrivener Extraordinary to Magnus the Red whose library was later trashed by Ahzek Ahriman.
• Lemuel Gaumon, Societal Behaviourist and friend of Ahriman (until he betrayed him by murduring Eris).
• Kallista Eris, Historiographer who could see the future. After a brief period spending time in the shops of Tzica and making out with a member of the Prospero Spireguard, she had a major episode where she had to be hospitalized, only for Ahriman to allow her powers to run free. Ending up burning to death while screaming about the fall of Prospero and something about "Ravens of Blood crying out for an unknown father. Wonder what that was about?
• Kaspar Hawser, Skjald who was with the Space Wolves when they burned Prospero.
