The Dark Comedy
1. Lord Marshall - All Combined Armies
The military is defined like an aristocracy in its head’s composure it is led by twin knights of prowess, the Lords Marshall and Admiral, who dedicate body and soul to its expansion, acting as the Hands of the Imperium. The Lord Marshall commands the Imperial Armed Forces, commanding his titanic and expansive force by the head, leading his chain of command in conquest and in victory, and directing the Imperial Ground Campaign across numerous worlds beneath the shadow of the Imperial Armada, combining effective strategies with the Admiral to efficiently demolish all opposition. While, much like the Admiral, their life is consistent of social pandering, the Marshall, along with his theoretical Lord brother, is a tremendously powerful being with strong influence, and a mental mind the sole force which eclipses this. The Lord Marshall is, without a doubt, a monster akin to the most depraved beast in the Galaxy, rightfully so and having earned his royal command through a mixture of capabilities, for both atrocity and overwhelming victory, directed upon the Imperium's enemies within the labyrinthal confines of hundreds of worlds.
