Name:
Lucius Ranek
Age:
21
Height:
5’9
Weight:
174lbs
Rank :
Captain
Regiment:
16th Bavak Heavy Infantry. He volunteered for the mission in order to escape from the regiment where he is tolerated at best.

Appearance:
At first glance the heavy armour of his regiment lends him a somewhat bulky appearance however when the armour is removed it reveals a slightly built man with mid length brown hair and a seemingly permanently distant expression. His right leg and arm are bionic following an incident back on Bavak. His other eye was 'upgraded' by tech priest Riovannes after the his recon squads first mission when his bionic hand took a direct hit sending fragments of metal into his left eye.
His left leg was similarly upgraded after a zombie bit clean through to the bone in the tunnels of the underground facility.

Bio:
As a result of the loss of any sort of family that he had on Bavak, Lucius appears to have adopted a ‘nothing less to lose’ mentality which has led to a liberal use of bayonet charges in the training simulations and the limited combat experience that the 16th has. This mentality enables him to fight without mercy or fear, this lack of feeling has led to him becoming somewhat of a loner in the 16th and in life in general.
Since taking command of the recon squad, lucius's attitude has changed slightly and in a squad of outcasts and misfits he feels like he belongs and to some extent even cares for his team members, though this has brought him into conflict with the men and women of Sergeant Tsepik's squad of imperial storm troopers.
However, lucius still retains his tendancy for reckless tactics on the battlefield, (usually an ill timed, ill planned charge) and still has a phobia of flying.

History:
During his youth, both of his parents were killed in a shuttle crash that left his right arm and leg badly damaged, a rich uncle was able to pay for the bionic repairs to his body. When cultist activity was blamed for the shuttle crash he joined the 16th partly out of a desire for vengeance, and partly out of a need for food, which was caused by the death of his uncle. He gained his lieutenancy more as a result of the education that his uncle insisted upon than his tactical ability. However, it was noted in the training that went on whilst on route to the sector that he was a gifted close quarter fighter and so was given command of one the assault platoons.

In the recon squad's first mission lucius led the charge into the enemy camp which ultimately led to the capture of Katel, Reventnik and himself. However, thanks to an undercover operative and the efforts of the squad they were able to break free.

The squads second mission was to explore a recently uncovered underground tunnel, however it was during in this time that they had they first met the retinue of inquisitor Glabados. It was at this point that lucius learned of his promotion to Captain. The underground tunnel turned out to be an underground complex which was infested with zombies and after a fight with their former savior Sergeant Christopher and the former squad mate Karsnikkol, Lucius recieved his bionic left leg and the medallion crimson.

When the Morloakian camp was attacked by the forces of the enemy lucius once again exercised his reckless desire for close combat and charged a squad of enemy infiltrators who were attempting to gain access to the facility. Lucius and Eistenian accounted for the ones on the surface before a brief tunnel fight erupted resulting in a las shot to lucius's collarbone and and two enemy prisoners.

the squad's next mission was a simple BDA which resulted in the first encounter with one of the adeptus astartes.
During the second attack on the Morloakian camp lucius was able to reclaim teh inquisitor's assault boat from enemy infiltrators before being set upon by inquisitorial storm troopers after Lucius tried to protect Katel.

Name: Flint "Promo" Reventnik
Age: 22
Height: 6'
Weight: 160
Rank: Corporal

Regiment: 19th Morloak Riflemen (Came by assignment due to boredom with current plains-searchin tasked to his regiment, figures he would be far more suited for this mission then out on the open plains feeling useless with a flamer. that, and he has visions of grandeur at heart.)

Appearance: Flint could be described as comical at best. he is lean to what some would say an anorexic degree, though he is healthy in diet and physically. His near bone thin form is stronger than it looks, his wire cord muscles having a wiry and grasping strength
of their own. (Picture a tall and upright gollum if that helps) Large portions of his body are a permanent rash-like red from exposure to heat. He looks for older than his true age due to this, and has many wrinkles for his age as well. (think Don Knotts if anyone knows who he is) He normally is unwashed, and favors camo pants and the sleeveless military shirts, when not in full camo fatigues. He has thin brown hair and hazel eyes.

Bio: Flint began his early years as many children of Morloak do, working in the mountanous forests as a woodsman, felling trees and making roads. He proved ill suited for this work, though possessing strength enough he lacked the burly form to be accepted as a true lumberjack, and the lack of weight to throw around saw him at the losing end of many fights for his honor. He was also a devout imperial, fully believing in the religion of the imperial preachers. He took his first chance to join the imperial gaurd, where he discovered his great love for fire when he was tasked with the flamer of his platoon. Dubbed "Promo" by his fellows for his new-found love of promethium fire (and its fumes), he briefly in a few skirmishes around the sector as he was shipped to forested worlds where his flamer could be put to good use. He is extremely bitter for his regiment's assignment on Mitabrev, and eagerly jumped at the oppurtunity for a different assignment. He loathes chaos, and dreams of being a famous war hero, though his intelligence is only fair. No doubt due to these dreams he has affixed a bayonete to the end of his flamer, dreaming of heroic charges, though the point of a bayonete at the end of a flame thrower is beyond that of more uninspired soldiers. He is a chain smoker.
He tends to have a dry sense of humor. He loves his flamer, partially because it compensates for the fact that he is a very poor shot, also carrying twin laspistols, trusting more in sheer shots fired to make up for his lack of skill. He is generally humble and passive unless he sees a chance at heroics.

Flint was mildly annoyed to find that his assignment to Ranek's Recon squad led to their deployment right back where he started, with his parent battalion.
The resident Morloak of the group, Flint has become quite taken to his squad, seeing them as as close a family as even the other Morloak.

He participated in the raid of the Chaos emcampment around Grensyev in a bid to lighten the assault on the besieged Imperials, where his undersized squad single handedly destroyed a number of chaos artillery pieces and killed many times their number in heretics before being captured by wieght of numbers. Apart from the shame of being captured, Flint considers this to so far be the highlight of his career.

After escaping the camp, Flint was involved in tunnel fighting against chaos invaders to save a newly discovered base under the Morloak camp, while the chaos base was eliminated by aerial bombardment, freeing the besieged Gryan and Loxtan Now equipped with a new flamer and a shotgun, and a new lighter given to him by his newfound love interest, Margaret Sands, Flint has set out with more confidence, now currently involved in a far more welcome fighting environment than the plains, though far more hazardous...Ferrusgrad itself.

A victim of fate and circumstance, Reventnik died valiantly in an attempt to rescue an Inquisitor, crash landed within Ferrusgrad.

Equipment: Flamer, bayonete for flamer, tank refill, two frag grenades, two laspistols, four packs of Menthol Morloaks, and two Special Saint Satin Cigars, 19th Morloak Riflemen lighter

Name: Malto Feverent

Age: 19

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 201 lbs

Rank: Private

Regiment: Gryan 31st Infantry (Recruited from his homeworld as he was an unemployed man who needed money, it seemed like a fit at the time)

Appearance: A tall man from Grya VII, he is a sturdy and stolic person who chooses not to portray his emotions through his face. He has somewhat bulky arms and defined legs from running on his homeworld as well as during his training tenure. He has a military styled cut, and his brown hair is barely visible anymore. He has green eyes which are dark like an evergreen coloring. His hands are calloused and worn-out, from his years working in the factories of Grya VII.

History: A young and out of place man, he is not really sure that he should still be fighting. Once a jovial and careless boy on the factory world of Grya VII, it all changed when he became older and realized that he would have to do something with his life. His father, a dying factory worker who spent his entire life building things for the fabulously rich, Malto decided it was not the life for him. He found himself abandoning his parents and younger siblings in search of a career until he found himself being drafted into the Imperial Guard.

Sent into the Gryan 31st Infantry, he believed that he would fight a couple of battles, become a famous war-hero and return to his homeland a legend and adorned with medals. This delusion soon faded as he found himself only a couple months later on the planet of Mitabrev fighting for his life as him and the others struggled to reach the Imperium forces within the Grensyev Water Purification Plant. As the firefight raged in front of him, he finally began to see that his vision would never become true.

Equipment:
-Flak armor, fitted to his body and including shoulderpads, gauntlets, grieves, a helmet, and a chestpiece, along with the thighpads and torso covering parts.
-A laspistol in a holster, six clips, two empty, four full and a small knife
-A lasrifle strapped across his back and four clips all full
-One fragmentation grenades
