Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Introduces Saro

Owlcat Games has announced Saro , a sanctioned psyker, has joined Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy .

In combat, his enormous psychic powers manifest as pyromancy, as he can incinerate his foes by creating firestorms, leaving no heretic alive. These powers come at a cost, though.
