House Volantes

"Through daring steps can we achieve fame and glory."

- Motto of House Caelum

House Caelum is an ancient Noble House dating back to the Age of Strife, when it was a mere small territory in ancient England. The head, Tarchon Vin Caelum, pledged his loyalty to he who would be the Emperor of Mankind during the Unfication Wars. Though Tarchon would pass away before the Great Crusade, the Emperor bestowed the Warrant of Trade to his son. Since then, the family has exert its influence to many systems and while primarily a house of Rogue Traders, many members were also officers of the Imperial Army, later Imperial Navy, some later using their skills as successful Rogue Traders.

Notable House Caelum Members

 * Tarchon Vin Caelum: The first known head of House Caelum. He was duke of old England on ancient Terra. His land suffered from continous attacks from nearby rulers and bandits. So, when the Emperor came with his mighty army, Tarchon swore loyalty without hesitation, providing the Emperor information on the nearby lords and places with rich resources. Tarchon would not live to see the unification of Terra as he passed away a decade early, but his efforts earned his family a Warrant of Trade from the Emperor as a reward.

 * Haldin Caelum: The heir to House Caelum, Haldin enlisted into the Imperial Navy at the age of eighteen. He swiftly showed his skills in void warfare and was promoted to Commodore at the age of twenty-three and then Admiral at the age of twenty-nine. He left the navy when he was thirty-five, taking over his family's business. Thanks to his military experience, Haldin has overcome many challenges as a Rogue Trader: commanding his family's fleet, organizing and coordinating his crew and personal retainers, defeating several Ork Freebooterz, Dark Eldar raiding parties and even a Tyranid Splinter Fleet. Other achievements included discovering five lost human civilizations, three planets riched with resources and dozens of lost archeotech. Like past heirs and heads, Haldin has had dealings with Alexander Zackery, House Caelum's long ally.
