History

Native of the dreaded world of Lostregia, a world wracked by truly alien weather, where the only sane and non-mutated humans live in the massive fortress of their lords in a feudal system. Ancient constructions from an era where Lostregia undergoing (now fatally undone) terraforming, these fortress exist both above and below ground. The lords fight for supremacy while the 'glowing fiends', horrific mutants filled with an unholy light prey on humans who venture outside assuming these humans do not, in time, join the ranks of the glowfiends. Engerand was found crashed on a mountain and raised in his early age by miners before the young, still-growing Primarch became known and forced to join the court of the local Lord who wanted such a powerful warrior for himself. There, he was trained by the local knightly caste in the art of war. Later, as the madness (caused by his decay due to exposure to radiations during one of his campaigns) of this local lord drove the people to hunger and utter poverty, Engerand led the rebellion which eventually bloomed into a full-blown attempt to conquer Lostregia as the vain and mad lords would never willingly work together. Engerand recovered some of the rarest materials on the planet and forged nine hammers to arm his best and most trusted warriors so they could wield these weapons and utterly crush the heaviest of armors.

Acting as a spearhead for Imperial advance during the Great Crusade: first into battle...and first to leave. Usually because they have settled the matter by either forcing the non-complying human worlds to surrender before their overwhelming force or by eradicating as quickly and toroughly possible whatever xeno menace was in the way.
