Martyr - He gives you wings!

Martyr is an INT hero on the Legion Side.

Martyr's Background Story:
Few clergy of Sol burn with such brilliance that they may ascend to the highest orders of priesthood. Even fewer dare gift their own souls to the Legion, braving an eternity in damnation so that others may prosper in turn. The few who do earn the forsaken title of the Martyr, wielding a battle-ready relic in one hand and carrying the Codex Solaris in the other. To certain death they march; and some say, with more fervor than those who march towards life.
