History

Arrival and appointment

Sinleech arrived unexpectedly in the 40K Warp, where he found a darker realm and another version of himself. The local Chaos Gods attacked him for his Positive Authority. After the Emperor brought him back, Sinleech agreed to help the Imperium through its crisis in exchange for protection until Han Mingxuan arrived 388 389.

The Emperor appointed him Chancellor directly. Confronted with the Imperium’s corruption and a shortage of staff, Sinleech repeatedly demanded personnel and eventually threatened the Golden Throne to secure Adeptus Custodes for the Department of Internal Affairs 389 399.

Chancellor and the Warp

After receiving a powerful stick from Han Mingxuan through Dante, Sinleech turned it into a staff and attacked the 40K Tzeentch. He subsequently subdued the other Warp Gods and conscripted Tzeentch and numerous Daemons into administrative work. His disruption of the Warp also weakened its storms, helping establish his reputation as a Living Saint 404 435.

Sinleech planned to recover this world’s Authority over hope and miracles before returning to his own spacetime. He also revealed that he had entered the Accursed’s plan as an additional variable. When the Night Haunter opened a book sealing the local Tzeentch, the god escaped; Sinleech later admitted that he had arranged the release to stabilize the passage between the worlds 436 440 477 478.

War and handover

Sinleech coordinated Imperial preparations for war, consolidating its bureaucracy and military under his authority. He helped Vulkan reactivate the Phalanx, opened a passage for the God of War’s arrival, and reinforced the seals on the Golden Throne during the Webway battle 576 581 585 586.

He later arranged Abaddon’s trial for the Blood God’s remaining divine station and negative authority, helped prepare Guilliman’s resurrection, and healed the wounded Lion. Once Guilliman was appointed Lord Commander, Sinleech handed him the Chancellor’s seal and vanished 603 607 616 627.

As the worldlines converged, Sinleech gained power from the resulting hope and fought the three remaining 40K Chaos Gods. He then joined Han Mingxuan and the God of War in planning the confrontation between the two worlds and the Chaos Gods 634 635 637.

Appearance

In his human guise, Sinleech resembles Han Mingxuan and presents himself as a refined, elegantly dressed man 389.

• Immaculately combed black hair and blue eyes 389.
• A dark blue suit, monocle, and black cane 389.
• Can return to his original Lord of Change form within a Warp Storm 439.

Personality

Sinleech initially presents himself as courteous and composed, but the Imperium’s bureaucracy quickly brings out his irritable, insulting side. He resents administrative work and routinely looks for others to take it over, including Custodes, Daemons, and Primarchs 399 435 477.

A calculating strategist, he conceals plans even from his allies and manipulates circumstances to achieve them. He also comes to recognize a responsibility toward the world and to recover the Positive Authority he lost. Han Mingxuan observes that Sinleech has changed greatly since they first met 478 552 568 575.
