Emil Rebreanu was the Arch-Cardinal of the Veldin Sector during the 2nd century of the 41st Millennium. He was known for his humanitarian work and later for raising forces to defend the Shrine World of Haakon VII during the 12th Black Crusade. Later canonized as an Imperial Saint, Rebreanu was most famous for being the founder of the Ordo Templariis, an unofficial military order of chivalry that served the Imperial Faith. By the later centuries of the millennium, it grew to become among the most influential religious-martial orders that existed across the Imperium. Since then the cardinal has come to be considered the patron-saint of the Templars.
