One must then give thought to the name of Igni, a popular name of honor amongst devotees of the Cult of Saint Briel. It is largely taken to mean something in the area of "cleansing fire" or "spark in the night", but its true origins are from far more humble origins which may shed some light on the life of Briel Ignis.
Contrary to the popular version of events, Briel Ignis was not born as the daughter of a Warship Commander, nor even that of a sludge hauler captain as is told in earlier versions although they contain two central facts in the story of Saint Ignis, which is that she hailed from a long line of space-farers on a humble vessel. The confusion can be attributed to the fact that Briel Ignis entered into Schola Progenium on Immaculata IV bearing the paperwork for a Captains daughter, which is not uncommon for initiate cadets. Closer inspection of Imperial records show, however, that no Captain of the MCMXLV Emperors Holy Waste Disposal ever bore the name Igni, which was in fact common to crewmen who worked the engine rooms. Responsible for Ignitus, the most important function, yet the most humble amongst all crewmen as they bear the unenviable task of igniting the engines. Though the occupation of the Igni is singularly fatal, blessed are they who shoulder the burden of bearing the spark that brings forth His Glorious Propulsion that they may perish in His Light.
Indeed, there was listed in the inventory manifests(Igni are registered as inventory rather than crew) one girl born to the Igni stock on the MCMXLV EWD of equivalent name and age. How little Briel was able to escape her incandescent destiny was as much by the Emperors Grace as it was an administration error that switched her tripcode with that of the Captains son with him becoming one with the atom and sending her to the Schola Progenium instead.
