Talon

A well decorated Artillery commander of the era of Blaxxhir, Arcadius VI currently serves as the fortress commander of Grim 14. Described as calculated, persistent and extraordinarily driven Arcadius IV is well known for his exemplary service during the era of blaxxhir and his mastery in artillery gunnery. Arcadius VI is respected throughout many solar armies, as someone who has climbed through the ranks and earned his spot in the Lords Army through centuries of outstanding service to multiple eras and solar armies.

## Academy life

Arcadius IV was a hard working and determined cadet, studying in the War Academy of Profectus II. He excelled in most his courses however he had become a natural master at Artillery Gunnery. Topping everyone of his Gunnery and artillery command courses, Arcadius IV naturally developed a passion for it and therefore aspired to one day be a Master of ordnance in Blaxxhir's elite vanguard army (equivalent to HAV'OCs 3rd Solar Army). Arcadius IV graduated and was designated to the 402nd Solar army as an Artillery Officer.

## Era of Blaxxhir

Arcadius IV served a total of 272 years during the era of Blaxxhir, as an Artillery Commander. Throughout his service Arcadius IV took part in numerous Crusades and campaigns across many Galaxies. He had served in a dozen different Solar Armies and earned an outstanding reputation among many as one of the finest Artillery officers of the era. During his time, Arcadius IV had earned an impressive collection of awards and honors including; The honorable cross of the War machine, The Vanguardians medallion and many distinguished command stars. Near the end of the era of Blaxxhir Arcadius IV was finally transferred the Blaxxhir's Elite Vanguard army and was deemed a Master of ordnance.

### A change of path

Not long after his transfer to the Vanguard, Arcadius grew tired of his long service as a 'career captain'. His service as an Artillery officer grew mundane and his ambition begun to grow. Arcadius wished to expand into higher positions of power, to finally leave his 270 year long service behind the platforms of behemoth Artillery guns. 2 years before the end of Blaxxhir, Arcadius IV had returned to Grand Talos to study courses in logistics and administration ultimately to become a fortress commander and climb through the ranks.

## Era of HAV'OC

The Era of HAV'OC had begun and the Chosen crusade was nigh. Arcadius IV was deemed worthy to take part however he had politely declined as he did not wish to pull out of the academy and ruin his chances of becoming a Fortress commander. This of course angered many of who had already become loyal to Lord General HAV'OC and those would of killed to get such an honour, however Arcadius IV had been around long enough to not let this minor setback phase him. Soon after the Chosen Crusade had ended, Arcadius had completed his courses and became a fully qualified Fortress commander and Officer of the doctrine of administration. Unfortunately instead of being sent to a Fortress to command, Arcadius IV was designated to the 9th "suicide Army" as a master gunnery commander.

### 9th suicide Army

Arcadius IV was infuriated, he had spent so much time getting out of Artillery to be palmed back onto the platforms. He believed he had been sent to his death as a consequence for declining an invitation to serve in the chosen Crusade. Although it was a single digit elite, Arcadius IV had disliked his time in the 9th, forced to serve in a position he had gotten sick of. Arcadius IV did develop huge amounts of respect for the suicide army, their courage and sacrifice stood apart from any army he had ever served in. Over the course of a few decades Arcadius IV made a name for himself, earning many awards through his incredible display of leadership, organisation and pure mastery of artillery. There is not a target that is safe from his batteries of hellfire. Finally Arcadius IV was promoted to colonel and served a the chief of artillery operations for the 13th sectorial regiment.

Soon before the 80th year of the era of HAV'OC, Arcadius IV was offered a position as a Fortress Commander in the finest sectorial regiment of the 3rd Solar army the Lord's army. It would mean a demotion back down to captain however if he was successful in this position, Arcadius IV would have no issue becoming an overseer in the near future.

### Fortress Grim 14

Arcadius IV is currently assigned to Fortress Grim 14 as the fortress commander.
