Editing Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander (section)

==The Dark Crusade==
Alexander was dispatched with his unit of the Cadian 412th in order to bring [[Taldeer]], who was largely responsible for the manly [[General Sturnn]]'s <s>death</s> near-death and the subsequent loss of an Emperor-class War [[Titan]]. Having tracked her to Kronus, a planet under the rule of the [[Tau]], Alexander commenced an orbital bombardment to clear out Tau observation garrisons before moving into the capital, reinforcing it and turning it into a formidable fortress with mazes of trenches, razor-wire, and minefields - the kind of battlefield the Tau loathe.

Shortly after landing, however, and his subsequent takeover of Ironworks Bay, the at-the-time General Alexander made a discovery with a contingent of Techpriests under his command - the main gun of an Imperator-class War Titan, cut from a [[Chaos]] Titan's arm ages ago. After Techpriests checked the cannon and found that the weapon had not been tainted by its use by the Traitor Legions (ironic since Chaos campaign outright stated that there was a Nurgle daemon residing in it [these are mutually exclusive, there is only a daemon in it if you are playing Chaos]), Alexander reported his findings and was given new orders: to take Kronus for the Imperium, and to salvage any relics of the Adeptus Mechanicus that may yet lie on this world. Massive support flew in, and Alexander's army swelled to gargantuan proportions, forming a spearhead that would eventually sweep all before it, doing his mentor, Sturnn, proud.

Things got complicated when [[Davian Thule]]'s Blood Ravens unit arrived to purge the world and secure relics of their chapter (I.E. steal things and cover up inconvenient evidence of the Blood Ravens' [[Heresy|hair-esy]]). Alexander had his orders from Segmentum Command, and wasn't about to back off because a few crimson-armored [[Indrick Boreale|fuckwits]] refused to back off, despite pleading constantly that Thule was doing nothing but cause blood to be spilled needlessly.

Suffice to say [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPLjA3vEG8 Thule refused to fuck off]. Canonically, the Blood Ravens drove the guard out of Victory Bay and off Kronus, but the wholesale slaughter that occurred was deemed [[Heresy|heretical]] by several in the Inquisition and left several Blood Ravens with tortured consciences from the (largely needless) slaughter carried out - something that would eventually lead to the fall of [[Avitus]], and which only later would be revealed to have been intended by the Blood Ravens' Chaos-tainted chapter-master, Kyras.

Despite his injuries, Imperial Medicaes patched Alexander up and got him off-world, where his reports to Segmentum Command caused the Blood Ravens to be flagged as possibly tainted by [[Chaos]]. Afterwards he (and his forces) were re-assigned to look into events of the Kauravan campaign - an unfortunate assignment that would, sadly, be Alexander's last.
