TEXT: M
  ajor Moriaus Jaxon
  grew up as a Progena
  in the Schola Progenium
  located on the Shrine World
  of Harper’s Point. There,
  Jaxon gained the reputation
  of being a wayward rebel and
  was often found in the
  Schola’s many discipline halls
  feeling the bite of a Drill
  Abbot’s electro baton. Even
  though Jaxon was constantly
  in trouble, the Drill Abbots
  recognised in him a great
  ability to lead. In his
  formative years Jaxon was a
  small lad, in fact many
  students of his stature would
  often be bullied – something
  the Drill Abbots would
  encourage as this showed
  strong character in the
  bullies, and the victims would
  either overcome the adversity,
  becoming stronger from the
  experience ,or emotionally
  break and were therefore
  weak and unfit to lead. Jaxon
  however was never bullied, in
  fact what he lacked in
  physical presence he more
  than made up for in strength
  of will and leadership, to
  such a degree that the bullies
  worked for him. The Drill
  Abbots were aware of Jaxon’s
  commanding role among the
  other Progena and
  recognised in him the
  potential for a great
  commander. All that was
  needed was a lot more
  discipline. 
  When Jaxon reached
  adulthood he was sent to
  serve as a lieutenant for the
  76th Thacian Gunners. Young
  lieutenants fresh from the
  Schola Progenium joining
  and expecting to command
  veteran regiments such as the
  76th Thacians have a history
  of struggling to lead and gain
  the respect of such grizzled
  veterans. However, just like
  in the Schola, Jaxon had
  secured the respect of the
  Guardsmen within the first
  few weeks of the campaign –
  many soldiers who had
  served for decades
  unfalteringly obeying the
  young officer’s orders
  without question. For
  another twelve years Jaxon
  led the 76th Thacian’s
  eventually gaining promotion
  to Major.
  During the re-taking of the
  Lost World of Bryce Jaxon’s
  company was assigned to
  Colonel Kayter, a tall bald-
  headed man with a piercing
  gaze. Jaxon hated him from
  the moment he set eyes upon
  him. The loathing continued
  to grow as Kayter sent Jaxon
  and the 76th on a series of
  inconsequential and suicidal
  missions. Casualties were
  heavy but were soon
  replenished with recruits
  supplied by Kayter. After a
  mere six months over half of
  the 76th was now made up of
  Fayter’s recruits. Jaxon had
  lost a lot of close friends and
  good men in the last six
  months, his anger at Kayter’s
  inept command began to rise.
  What’s more the recruits
  were adequate at best, they
  did not mix with other
  members of the regiment and
  they all seemed to carry the
  same racial characteristic of
  being bald. With suspicion
  mounting Jaxon left the field
  accompanied by his most
  trusted men, to report back
  to the campaign headquarters
  and confront Kayter.
  Jaxon had constantly been in
  the field for three months
  and so it was his first visit to
  headquarters in a while. The
  first noticable thing was that
  a considerable change in the
  décor had occurred. The
  prominent Imperial eagle had
  been replaced with
  inscriptions declaring love for
  the all-father. The personnel
  Major Jaxon
  
  at headquarters again were all
  bald and eyed Jaxon and his
  retinue with the utmost
  suspicion. Jaxon knew there
  was something wrong but
  undaunted continued to the
  rather opulent office of
  Kayter.
  The walls of the office were
  covered with thick purple
  drapes and the desk and
  other furniture were ornately
  carved. As soon as Jaxon and
  his squad entered the large
  office all pretence that Kayter
  still served the Emperor was
  dropped. Two insidious alien
  Genestealers emerged from
  behind the drapes and
  charged. Jaxon had ordered
  the squad to have fully
  loaded and ready weapons
  before they entered the
  building and so when the
  ’Stealers launched themselves
  across the room they were
  quickly shot down. Jaxon
  ordered the door to the office
  closed and blocked and a
  firefight ensued in the
  spacious office between
  Kayter and his attendants,
  and Jaxon’s men. Once again
  Jaxon’s leadership and the
  veterans of the 76th Thacians
  won through. Jaxon killing
  Kayter with a satisfying las
  shot through the head. By
  this time the office door was
  being assaulted from the
  other side, the unmistakable
  hiss of more genestealers
  could be heard as a claw
  punctured the heavy door.
  Jaxon moved his squad
  forward, going behind the
  drape in the far wall where
  they found the large,
  intimidating form of the
  Stealer Patriarch.
  The Patriarch seemed
  lethargic, its psychic link had
  suddenly broken from its
  magus who was obviously
  Kayter. Before it could react
  the Patriarch was peppered
  with bolts of laser fire from
  Jaxon and his men and as its
  riddled corpse slid from its
  gilded throne the assault on
  the door stopped as members
  of the cult fled. With the
  building secured Jaxon
  immediately called for
  assistance. Imperial forces
  from off world fighting the
  Bryce campaign on
  neighbouring planets
  answered and set course. On
  world however Guard
  regiments had been
  inescapably tainted by the
  alien cult and internecine
  fighting broke out as cultists
  fought Guardsmen loyal to
  the Imperium. 
  It was not long before the
  Inquisition came to
  investigate. Unfortunately for
  the still loyal Guardsmen the
  order of Exterminatus was
  declared on the planet, the
  alien taint judged to have
  grown too great. Inquisitor
  Vorne was in charge of the
  investigation and like the
  Drill Abbots from many years
  before recognised Jaxon for
  what he was. After hours of
  psychotherapy and strenuous
  interrogation Vorne was
  sufficiently happy that Jaxon
  remained loyal and free from
  alien influence. Jaxon’s
  trusted squad were not
  exempted from the order of
  Exterminatus but there was
  little Jaxon could do, Vorne
  made it clear that Jaxon was
  the only exception. Over the
  years since Jaxon joined
  Vorne’s retinue this has been
  a major source of contention
  between the two. Jaxon’s
  men had been sentenced to
  death and it had been his
  wish to die with them. Vorne
  argues that he has a lot more
  to offer the Imperium and it
  would have been disloyal of
  him to die that day.
