Name: Ixion Caligari
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Apperance: Ixon is marked for battle, despite his young age. Due to the trials involved in Imperial Marksman training, he was often hit with las-shot from the other trainees. While this left no debilitating injury, the burn scars left an interesting map on his fair face, offsetting his icy eyes and jet-black hair.
Ixion is as lanky as you can get away with while still being a guardsman. Lean body and muscles show that his legs are the most powerful asset he has, which is helpful given his position. His black and red armor is striped in a very subtle pattern, befitting both his subtle role and deadly abilities.
Bio: Ixion was born on the hiveworld of Lasdrati, and was so incredibly bored of his lot as a noble child he turned to mercenary work. Arming himself with all sorts of knives and long rifles, he set out to the streets of the hiveworld to shoot his way to an honest living. The winding and twisty streets proved to hone his marksmanship skills, but one does not always hit what they intend...
A stray shot hit a civilian, and the Asartes were called to arrest him. He went without complaint, knowing that this would not be the end of his life if he sat down and shut up. Sure enough, the interrogator received word that the victim had not died from their wounds, and offered Ixion a chance to atone.
Imperial Guardsmanship.
Quickly the officers realized where Ixion's true potentials lie, and sent him to Marksmanship academy. There he was pitted against other trainees, and eventually graduated with sufficient marks for active duty. Along the way, he picked up a healthy respect for the Emperor, and felt no trouble in having to shoot things in his name for the rest of his life.
Sadly, nobody told young Ixion that he wasn't headed for Imperial Guardsmanship, rather, he was going straight to the Penal Legions. Ixion spent those first nights awake in fear, wondering exactly how some commissar would order his stupid, stupid death. Only later did he look up his assignment, the 13th Penal Legion, also known as the Last Chancers. In other words, the elite one.
So, back to shooting things then.
Rank: Private
Personality: Ixion is about as fun-loving as you can get for an assassin. He's not much down about having to kill things in the name of the Imperial Cult, considering he was killing things for cash before, anyway. He knows when to shut up, befitting his Marksman Training, but outside of it being immediately fatal you can expect some backtalk.
Regiment: 13th Penal Legion
Vehicle: Ixion has received a traditional Tallarn Pattern Sentinel, unmodified. It is armed with a Multi-Laser. It normally has larger feet than the other Sentinel patterns to provide better balance on the loose sand of the battle zones it is used in, but the original feet have been restored plus additional traction to allow easier movement in uneven terrain. It is manufactured with only a partially armoured canopy, allowing Ixion to snipe from inside should he so choose.
