Indeed, it's why I put 'chaplains' in apostrophes; the monk-warriors who lead the Fifteenth are very close to what Chaplains would be, if they existed as an office at this point. That being said, they are certainly a strongly spiritual lot, just more Buddhist/Daoist in their views than...whatever Lorgar and his mental-patients were. Emperorist? Emperites? Emprians? I dunno. :lol

They're based off the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_Kung_Fu#Sui_and_Tang_dynasties_.28581.E2.80.93907_AD.29:_Shaolin_soldier_monks]Shaolin Monks[/url], [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daoshi]Taoist Priests[/url] of China, aaaaand the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamabushi]Yamabushi[/url] and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%8Dhei]Sohei[/url] of Japan all mushed into one nice package.

I guess you could say that they're far more [i]philosophical[/i] and not all that [i]religious[/i] really.
