Bede records in his Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation how, during a persecution by Diocletian, St Alban, the first English martyr, surrendered himself in place of a Christian priest, and so unbaptised by water, attained a baptism of blood.

Neutral xenos mercenaries you can run/"hire" with your main army. Like the Nine from Dan Abnett's Sabbat Martyr which were a combination of Chaos fighters and aliens. Or marauding literal bloodthirsty pirates like the Rak'Gol.

St. Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church (1231)

An Augustinian canon inspired by the example of the five Franciscan martyrs, he put on their habit. Denied a martyr's palm due to poor health, he received the mission to preach the Gospel, and refuted heretics with his preaching.

Lictor called 'Deathleaper' aware St. Caspelan's leader death only create a martyr thus planet's defenses intensify.

So what it'll do? Break said leader by killing everyone near him only leaving him alive (1/2)
