__NOTOC__

== Information Known by Arkangel Society ==

Skyfall arrived unexpectedly on the planet known as Garm's Leap, emerging from the darkness at around midnight. She was dirty, bloody, improperly dressed for the cold, and limping. She seemingly had limited Low Gothic and limited other means of communication. It was apparent that she had heard the sound of the drop bar crashing to earth, and had followed the lights looking for help.

It was quickly established that she was in fact a very powerful psyker, and with some recognition of the Aquilla and her speed at picking up their language, it seemed she was not born here, and had once perhaps been familiar with Imperial society.

She had no name, and decided she would earn one. This occurred swiftly when Anahita gave her the name she bares for stopping a lander crashing and preventing someone jumping off the side to their death.

Skyfall's origins are mostly unknown. She has shared almost no details of her past, and in fact it seems she may remember very little. She claims she fell from the stars when she was a very little girl, and before that she lived on a big ship, where she was alone a lot, attended to by strangers rather than her parents. Some believe this means she was of high noble birth, others have speculated that perhaps, even at a young age, people suspected what she might eventually become and kept her apart for safety.

Shortly after being taken to Archangel Sky spent many weeks aboard Lord Captain Tollman's ship, and returned notably quieter, baring the brand of a sanctioned psyker, and with far better Low Gothic.

===Known Associates ===

[[Through Boiling Clouds of Thunder]] - One of the first people Sky came into contact with when she arrived. He protected her and took her under his wing, seemingly without question. Sky clearly utterly adores him and would follow her Lord Captain anywhere.

'''Erasmus Bloom''' - A wonderfully good and bad influence. A mischievous brother, one to gossip and explore with. A mind to be reckoned with.

[[Lytling Ddraig Aur]] - Her more reliable and sensible brother. A strong warrior, and kind soul who has adopted her into his house.

'''The Dancing Spectre''' - Newest friend. Still a confusing and new presence. But they are supposed to be here, Sky knows that.

[[Lord Captain Maximillion Alexander]] - Sky's close friend. Can frequently be seen giggling together in a corner like naughty children, frequently without being seen to speak at all.

Anahita - First human contact. First friend. Good, safe friend. Name giver.

== Rumours ==

Sky is really some form of princess.

Sky is the heir to a forgotten Rogue Trader warrant.

The wild girl thing is all an act, and she's really a highly wanted criminal using this as a way to hide from the authorities.

== Quotes ==
* ''"Skyfall will surpass us all. More than the rising and setting of the suns, of this I am certain."'' - [https://wiki.norestforthewicked.org.uk/Through_Boiling_Clouds_of_Thunder Thunder]
* ''"She is glorious and free. Her unrestrained power is so great, when she learns true control she will shake the universe before she is done."'' - [[Lord Captain Maximillion Alexander|Maximillion]]
* ''"When I first encountered her, she was a skittish barbarian. She seems to be developing and adapting rapidly which to me speaks of great potential. Thunder seems to hold her in high regard so that speaks volume for her character."'' - [[Oberarzt Azrael Schwarzekappel|Azrael Schwarzekappel]]
* ''"Sometimes it's interesting to see us through an outsider's eyes. Even normal things seem strange to her, and strange things seem normal."'' - [[Mac]]
* ''"My Grandfather always maintained that a little training and discipline made what was a wild animal exponentially more dangerous, I can't help but feel that this applies in this case also."'' - [[Capt._Cartwright|Cartwright]]
* ''"A mon'keigh that is pure from the Emperor's light. I have not seen one like her in millennia."'' - [[Ed'wari Ky'mn|Ed'wari]]
* ''"Ah, Skyfall! Now Skyfall I'' like! ''I offered the young Telekine flippant, transitory insult whilst drinking, as is often my want. And Skyfall struck me with her power in retort, immediately, just as she should: injury in answer to insult. I bared my teeth in show, and whilst around the table others quailed and rushed to make peace, Skyfall did not so much as flinch; Skyfall did not give one iota of ground. Fierce as a Karnossic Tiger, if Skyfall's other qualities are forged from the same mettle as is her spirit, in a few short years she will stand as a titan of the Stygian Abyss."'' - [[Augustronomos Corophasian-Ingamar-Vicher]], Navis-Scion of the House Corophasian.
* ''"I like her style and her clothes would be the envy of all those in Sector 79b-R426.7 back home. She sees the world through a clearer lens than most of us, I just hope she doesn't lose that when she returns to the Imperium."'' [[Rusev]]
* ''"Makes anything better just by being there. Without trying. Somehow. Just by being her."'' - [[Araquiel|Araq]]
* ''"She's certainly becoming something to behold isn't she? Yes, I'm enjoying watching her develop very much. I sense great things from her, but remember that even terrible things can be great."'' - [[Lady_Navigator-Captain_Victrix_Raltus|Victrix]]
* ''"A grubby whirlwind."'' - [[Ambrose Cordell Tollman]]
* ''"An example of why we are really out here and the reason that this should not be forgotten. Young, strong and willing to learn, may she grow in his Light."'' - [[Sireena Cerastes|Lord-Captain Sireena Jocasta of the Blood of House Cerastes]]

__NOTOC__

== Information Known by Arkangel Society ==
Through Boiling Clouds of Thunder (known, almost invariably, as simply 'Thunder') is a Feral Worlder. That much is obvious from even the most casual of inspections. The precise nature of his homeworld, and his departure therefrom, is information Thunder has yet to openly share with Arkangel Society, but based on his claims that he spent a decade as a slave gladiator, it is safe to assume he did not leave willingly, or under good circumstances. He owes his freedom to [https://wiki.norestforthewicked.org.uk/Sireena_Cerastes Lord Captain Sireena], who purchased it so that he may serve her as a bodyguard and arch-militant. When it became clear that his services were superfluous to the Cerastes Dynasty's activities in the Stygian Abyss, however, he struck out on his own to serve as a mercenary with any Dynasty willing to hire his blade. Over the course of his independence, he has been blessed by the God Emperor with several worthy allies, and together they have secured a Warrant and vessel to forge a new Dynasty in their own strange image.

Although most commonly known for his blunt and aggressive fervour in combat (and the obscene slab of adamantium he wields), Thunder also possesses a surprising depth of expertise in the art of medicae. If his proclivity for grand, bombastic tales is to be believed, he gained such expertise from a genetics tome claimed from an Astartes derelict - given the remarkable sophistication of his gene alchemy, there may be some truth to such claims.

== Lineage ==
Thunder's biology is, perhaps, one of the worst-kept secrets on Arkangel. Although appearing outwardly Human, Thunder's innards are a mess of redundant organs, boneplate armour and nerve buffers. Whether he is truly a Mutant, or some kind of unsanctioned Abhuman, is a matter of opinion, but Thunder asserts that his lineage is both stable and a subject of great personal pride upon his homeworld. 'Painkillers', as his genetic variance is locally known, are the culmination of a ten-millennia-long effort to reproduce the sacred biology of an Astartes, utilising only selective breeding and controlled exposure to radiomutagens. Impressive as Thunder's hardiness is, they clearly still have a ways to go yet.

==Known Associates ==
Thunder boasts that he has fought for every Dynasty upon Arkangel at least once. Nevertheless, there are a select few with whom he has formed a particularly close bond - most notably, the members of the Free Company:

* '''Erasmus Bloom''' - Encountered during an underdeck tavern brawl aboard Arkangel, Bloom was the first warrior to share in Thunder's vision for a Free Company of mercenaries. The techno-barbarian now relies upon Bloom for his expertise in matters of ritualism and rumour.
* [[Lytling Ddraig Aur]] - First meeting one another in service to the great Brigari Dynasty, Thunder has always held Lytling in the highest regard for his wisdom, honour and combat prowess. He is honoured to call the peerless knight his battle-brother.
* [[Skyfall]] - A foundling recovered from a primitive world, there was an obvious similarity between Thunder and Skyfall's circumstances from the start. He makes no secret that he sees greatness in the young psyker, and will do whatever it takes to ensure she achieves that greatness.
* '''[https://wiki.norestforthewicked.org.uk/Sireena_Cerastes Sireena Cerastes]''' - Thunder owes his freedom to Sireena. Though he no longer serves the Cerastes Dynasty, he will always owe a debt to her that is beyond repayment, and holds for her a deep and abiding affection.

== Rumours ==
Thunder is a fairly open man, apparently lacking any great degree of subtlety and guile. That being said, he is the subject of several small rumours:

* Thunder practices an excessive degree of hero worship towards the Astartes, greater even than is common in Imperial society.
* Thunder holds an unspecified but violent grievance against Imperial bureaucracy; his normal good humour is invariably withheld for members of the Administratum.
* Although straddling the line between Mutant and Abhuman, Thunder displays no visible sanctioning brand.
* Thunder believes all weapons should be given names; what he calls his own greatsword, however, remains a mystery.

== Quotes ==
* ''"He may seem like a lumbering brute. This is a lie hiding a cunning warrior and loyal friend. There is no-one else I would rather have at my back in a fight."'' - [[Lord Captain Maximillion Alexander|Maximillion]]
* ''"For someone who is seemingly from a barbaric world they are suitably courteous, more than one would expect. In battle or drawn to anger, he could make a Grox flinch."'' - [[Oberarzt Azrael Schwarzekappel|Lieutenant-Surgeon Schwarzekappel]]
* ''"My opinion of Thunder? Well, Through-Boiling-Clouds-of-Thunder is a curious alchemy of Feral Worlder and upstanding Imperial citizen: at once caught between the straining balance of those two dichotomies; this, of course, any of us can see. But, just beneath the surface, this diametric admixture has produced in Thunder'' 'the true adamantium': ''low cunning, higher intellect, wisdom, bravery, loyalty, and purpose; now, it is these qualities that observers so often underestimate. Oh, all this, and the man is'' mad; ''quite fucking mad."'' - [[Augustronomos Corophasian-Ingamar-Vicher]], Navis-Scion of the House Corophasian.
* ''"The irony that one of the youngest of the mon'keigh considers himself eternal still brings me joy each time I wake."'' - -[[Ed'wari Ky'mn|Ed'wari]]
* ''"Thunder chose me and I chose him back. Don't get to choose your blood but you get to choose your family. A chief that does not let anyone talk badly to them with rudeness, but listens when people argue is a good thing. Cleverer than people think. More cunning hunter than they expect."'' - -[[Skyfall]]
* ''"By the Saints Holy Bayonet, wherever he comes from, they make 'em big!."'' - [[Capt._Cartwright|Cartwright]]
* ''"I'm interested to see how he does on this new battlefield. I mean, he'll ''do'' fine, but it can be dangerous."'' - [[Mac]]
* ''"Thanks for the liver, mate. I'd promise to look after it, but that would be a lie..."'' - [[Spider]]
* ''"The big man cares for the people who follow him, a rarity these days. I like him."'' - [[Rusev]]
* ''"There's something odd about Thunder - he gives a crap. And so does his crew, individually. It's like they're... a family... of good people... with him at the middle..."'' - [[Araquiel|Araq]]
* ''"Thunder is... He is as solid as they come, in more ways than one. And he's always been polite to me, perhaps more so than I deserve, given it's my fault that Void Kraken laid eggs in him."'' - [[Lady_Navigator-Captain_Victrix_Raltus|Victrix]]
* ''"A curious man to look upon. His bearing reminds me of something that came before, by all accounts. I am pleased to see him thrive out here."'' - [[Ambrose Cordell Tollman]]
* ''"I have never once regretted getting him out of that arena and to see how much he has grown and thrived makes me very proud to call him a friend. I am sure he will do many great things with his new endeavour, even if I shall miss his company on the Stranger."'' - [[Sireena Cerastes|Lord-Captain Sireena Jocasta of the Blood of House Cerastes]]
