Castor
Lord General Freddie "Mercury" Castor is the Imperial commander of the Cadian forces sent to fix all the weird shit going on in sub-sector Aurelia.
Retribution
After hearing many reports of Aurelia's frequent problems and the Imperial Guardsmen's inability to get shit done, Castor decided that enough was enough and decided to take matters into his own hands. Accompanying him were Inquisitor Andrastia and LORD Commissar Bernn. He later met up with Sergeant Merrick after he was incapacitated during a Tyranid ambush (Which he joked that Merrick may still be "salvageable"). After killing the Tyranid Hive Tyrant and adding its head to his ridiculously enormous collection of trophies, he was informed that the Ordo Malleus would perform Exterminatus on the entire sub-sector (Ordered by the corrupted Chapter Master Azariah Kyras). Castor assisted Andrastia in her investigation. After finding evidence of Kyras' corruption, they proceeded to travel to the planet Typhon to confront Kyras for his HERESY. After killing the Eldar stationed there, they discovered, too late, from Kyras, that the Eldar were actually preventing the Exterminatus fleet from entering the sub-sector. So after escaping the planet, teleporting to a space hulk and escaping from said space hulk, Castor finally confronted the now transformed Mega-Uber Daemon Prince Kyras in the dead world of Cyrene. After a LONG battle, Kyras is defeated.
About Castor
Castor is arrogant, cocksure, sarcastic, laid back and a huge glory-hog. He has the voice of a upper-class Englishman, and has the looks and, sometimes, mannerisms of a big game hunter. He has absolutely no qualms of sending countless guardsmen to their deaths just so that he could move his weapon cabinet closer to the enemy base. He does this for the lulz. He has a fetish for collecting dangerous creatures and xenos heads (particularly Tyranids) for his impossibly fuckehuge collection. Despite being seen as a proud, boastful and quite clueless general, he is very intelligent and cunning. He even knew that Kyras was on Cyrene, due to the fact that Cyrene had already undergone Exterminatus and was therefore passed over by the currently operating Exterminatus fleet.
Having lost his left arm, he replaced it with a bionic replacement that allows him to wield weapons like sniper rifles, bolter rifles, or plasma guns with only one hand. He also has a sabre.
