Chaplain John

Birth
Born on the planet Azizos, as is the Kayce custom, John Kayce, third of his name, came into the world in the year 1957 AF. Born to his father, Alfred Kayce and his mother, Owena De Geek, John learned the art of war from House Beats, the art of intrigue from his mother and faith from his mentor, Connor Grafton.



Early Life
John spent much of his life as a young man on campaign with the imperial Legions, Serving as a centurio in the 5h Armoured Legion, he was involved in many conflicts and insurrections. proving himself a capable leader of men, John quickly became a very prominent figure in the Legion.

However Shortly after John's career in the Legions started booming, his father died leaving the office of Chaplain open. As a fine military leader and a vocal pillar of the faith, John was appointed to the office without much protest and took the reigns of the Imperial church.

Career
After his career in the Legions John thought that his first order of business would be to quell all extremist rifle groups in the Empire. This proved a difficult task as the inquisition was woefully undermanned and thus unable to strike at radical groups effectively. Despite the sound leadership of John, the inquisition failed to accomplish anything of note and serious uprising had to be dealt with byHouse Beats. This

caused the inquisition to become more of a burden to the church than a boon. Unwilling to discard the only military force in the church, John decided that new blood was called for, and appointed Connor Grafton as the new High Priest of the inquisition. This freed up John's time to deal with more secular problems, such as the refurbishment of holy sites and the reestablishment of proper conditions in the furthest most reaches of the empire.

Present Day
Having resided as Chaplain of the faith for many years John has become an important voice on the senate having both the increasing might of the church behind him as well as the great coffers of House Kayce. John Kayce III of his name, Protector of the wastes and Chaplain of the faith, currently resides upon his Home planet of Azizos and in the hall of his forefathers at Cear Kayce
