PC Orion B’salva

The Warp Channeler is a sanctioned Imperial psyker trained by the Scholastia Psykana and formally attached to the dynastic vessel Ignis Aeternus as its principal psychic operative.
Unlike an Astropath, the Warp Channeler is not bound to astrotelepathic communication. Instead, he serves as the dynasty’s psychic sentinel, void-phenomenologist, and first line of defense against immateric corruption.
Answerable to the Lord-Captain, Ship’s Seneschal, and—where relevant—the Skolana Psykana or Ordo Hereticus, though considered an autonomous specialist in warp-related matters.
Holds unique authority to advise or override officers in cases of psionic threats, warp instability, daemonic influence, or non-sanctioned psychic activity.

Conducts regular psynsientic sweeps of critical ship sectors, shrines, medicae bays, and barracks to detect latent psychic disturbance, residual warp energy, or malevolent spiritual presence.
Monitors unusual crew behavior, mass hallucinations, and dream-convergence patterns that may signal warp-borne intrusion.
Logs all warp-anomalies in the Codex Daemoniarca, a sealed record held within the captain’s quarters.

Investigates incidents of witchcraft, heresy, daemonology, or xenos psychic incursion.
Cooperates with Confessor-Abbot, Master of Arms, and internal security agents to identify, isolate, and interrogate possible warp-touched individuals.
May declare Psionic Quarantine on affected areas or individuals, pending Ecclesiastical or Inquisitorial clearance.

First responder in the event of warp breach, possessions, malignant manifestations, or summoning attempts.
Maintains and deploys sanctioned psionic defenses, including warding runes, hexagrammic seals, and soulfire litanies.
May lead or support exorcisms, ritual purifications, and psychic counter-assaults in coordination with Ecclesiarchy forces.

Studies and catalogs psychic artifacts, warp irregularities, and forbidden lore recovered during expeditions or engagements.
Maintains a sanctioned library-vault of controlled psynscience tomes and wards, locked behind Mechanicus-encoded seals.
Acts as an advisor to the Lord-Captain, Navigator, and Enginseer, providing insight into warp route turbulence, astral flares, and potential daemonic interference in void operations.

The Warp Channeler’s presence aboard ship is considered a necessary risk—revered, feared, and tightly regulated.
Must bear the Sigil Imperialis and Psykana Brand at all times.
Under extreme circumstances, may be authorized to perform controlled immateric manipulation to stabilize warp anomalies or shield vital personnel.
