About Valerius Fechter
Valerius Fechter is the youngest of four sons of an influential family with lots of connections throughout the Imperium. He isn't expected to do anything - family legacy continues in the oldest son, new directions are on two middle sons. As the youngest he wasn't paid much attention and was left to himself. Which led to his interest in Xenos technology. And being a noble, one can always get their hands on a number of things.
He understood that this won't sit well with the Inquisition, so Valerius hid it from everyone as best as he could. But no secret remains hidden forever, and eventually his brother found out about Valerius' studies. He was given a choice - either submit to Inquisition or leave as far as possible.
That's when Valerius found out that the Lord-Captain Hajj Qalandar Khan recently received Warrant of Trade and seeks able men.

Vendetta: Every noble house has its sworn enemies and rivals who would do it and its members harm. Even the protection of a Rogue Trader’s mission merely forces those who wish you harm to be a bit more cautious and subtle in exacting their vengeance. As a result, starting noble born characters have powerful enemies, perhaps in the shape of a rival noble house or some other powerful group. The details of these enemies are left to the player and the Game Master to define, working together to create a formidable threat. Whilst they do not dog the character’s steps at every turn, these enemies aim to inconvenience, harm, or kill him whenever he crosses their path. The noble character, of course, is free to return the favour when it’s expedient to do so.
Brook No Insult: You will allow no serious offence to your honour and person or those under your protection to pass unchallenged, meeting threat with threat and violence with violence. You may take a Willpower Test to avert this if you wish, modified by the provocation and the consequences (set by the GM) of succumbing to your rage.
