Sanjem

Overview
Sanjem Excuenem is High Executioner for the Holy Order.

History
Born on Gaia in the year L487.

Fought for the Holy Order against The Machine in the first battle for Gaia as commander of the now expunged Knights Exhaled.

Following the war Sanjem remained in active service loyal to the Order, fighting several notable battles against threats both foreign and domestic. He played a key part in reducing anti-order sentiment within the ranks, though was ultimately unable to cleanse enough of the traitors to prevent the Dark Uprising in L519. During the uprising Sanjem wrote to the 9 cardinals affirming his loyalty and pledging to do whatever it takes to silence the heretics. The self-appointed leader of the rebels Naormi Kass lost his life to Sanjem in what proved to be his final skirmish and the end of the uprising four years later.

Sanjem and his followers that accompanied him in battle were spared from the mass cleansing of the Knights Exhalted. He was given command of the 140th Legion of the Right Hand where he led his men to victory in the 18-year war for the Polaris Minor system.

Impressed with his unfledged commitment to the Order and unmatched talent for military tactics the cardinals decided to promote Sanjem into a senior position within the Right Hand in L552. He served twelve years on the security council advising on military and political matters, passing on knowledge gained during his encounters with The Machine.

In L564 Sanjem was appointed High Executioner of the Holy Order.
