Calvin McIntyre (3??? - April 2nd, 3081) was the last President of the Circinus Federation. He joined the Word of Blake along with the rest of his realm at the start of the Jihad, and served as the protege of the Master, Thomas Marik.

Biography

In 3064, the Marian Hegemony attempted to conquer the Circinus Federation, but were thwarted due to covert assistance by the Word of Blake.[1] Severely weakened by their long-time enemy to the point of desperation, and seeing the vast resources of the Word of Blake as a golden opportunity to gain vast resources and strength, President McIntyre convinced the Federation to repay their debt to the Blakists by joining them in their Jihad in late 3067.

The Master rewarded McIntyre for his absolute loyalty by appointing him as a Precentor and his right-hand man, teaching McIntyre about Blakist quasi-religious beliefs, politics and the Word's proprietary language, High Dominus, which McIntyre learned to speak fluently.

McIntyre was once badly injured and his life was saved by having cybernetic implants provided by the Master. He was described as towering over the Master in height, and had a tattooed face, marred by scars.[2]

Death

On April 2, 3081, Regulan Warships bombarded the city of Zachariah on Circinus, the Blakist-held capital world of the Circinus Federation. During one of the attacks, McIntyre was struck in the head by a piece of masonry, mortally wounding him. A few seconds later, the Master was killed by a nearby nuclear explosion as he tended to the dying McIntyre.[3]
