Garrett

**Alexandros Chaviliers, codename: Garrett** is a relevant member of 1st section, having the most experience out of everyone else bar Irke the Ogryn, both having stuck with the section for longer than anyone else. Alexandros was initially part of the 1st Melyrian regiment, classified as a Stormtrooper. Being part of the few privileged families of the Imperium (though ones that were so prevalent on Melyria), he managed to pass through training without any hiccups.

In more recent years, Garrett has managed to become more accustomed to Daemonology and as such now possesses knowledge few in the rest of the Imperium have managed to study. Additionally, he has unlocked untapped potential of the mind.

## 1. Appearance and Physiology

Alexandros is a highborn male of 25 years old as of the 2nd deployment, bearing short dark hair accompanied by a stubble-covered jaw, dark-brown eyes and fair skin. His body seems nicely toned, though surprisingly agile and flexible all things considered, being able to outrun anyone who has so far tested him and perform impressive tricks such as backflips. He seemed to reach a height of about 188 cm and weigh roughly 80 kilograms.

Garrett is often times seen bearing his blessed Ignatus Power armor, usually covered from head to toe in silver-lined plates while on mission, said plates bearing upon them faintly glowing, enigmatic, runes which seem to grow in their glimmer as psychic presence grows stronger around them. The armor also bears the seal of his family onto it, which, whenever he is seen casting, seems to emanate with psychic power.

## 2. Personality

Alexandros seems to usually be rather merry, sometimes even in the heat of battle, cracking the occasional joke that only Irke the Ogryn seems to get and laugh at. At other times, though, it's as if that mask of joyful pleasantry falls apart and reveals one of terror or anger, especially around certain 'triggers', one of which 1st may have noticed to be automated Sentinels.

Other than the occasional downfalls, though, he seems to be mostly stable, especially compared to other members of the two killteams.

## 3. Equipment

Acolyte Garret is usually seen sporting a peculiar boltgun, incredibly well ornamented, yet also extremely deadly in his hands. The peculiarity of the bolter resides more in the fact that the weapon seems to be more useful in his and only his hands, having been witnessed annihilating daemons with only one brutal, horrifying strike.

Besides the legendary weapon he bears, another takes its place, Praenuntia Lucis, his incinerator. The weapon, used in tandem with the Lustrates as it usually is, seems to have its flames seek out the souls of the daemonhunter's unfortunate foes, however desperate they are, the searing torment follows.

Last but definitely not least in terms of ranged weaponry are the two weapons strapped to his forearms: Faith and Fervour, two heavily modified autopistols that have been seen wiping out entire squads of heretics and renegades with only a volley.

If things become heated in closer quarters - or if Garrett for whatever reason wishes to flaunt his success so far, that is when the psychically-enhanced dagger laying by his side on his belt comes into play. Its decoration dazzling underhivers to a pause and making enemies otherwise underestimate it for a decorative piece instead of the deadly intrument it can be.

## 4. Chronology

### 1. Training at the Schola Progenium and Life before the Guard

Alexandros lived a lavish life in his younger years, though things were soon to change with adolescence, his noble house starting to fall out of favour with many of the others and becoming only a husk of what it used to be, decayed and weakened, surrounded on all sides by starving wolves. As such, the family quickly pulled together an attempt to keep the Chaviliers bloodline alive, spreading out into the galaxy far and wide, each of his brothers heading in separate directions, while his sister's location remained unknown and his parents left together to a more crowded hiveworld.

Alex himself was given to the Schola Progenium as an orphan on paper, yet not in reality, surviving through the excruciating training of the Schola and coming out a stormtrooper.

### 2. First Deployment with the Melyrian 1st

Garrett's arrival onto the world of Kelea seemed to be awfully timed at first glance, though the timing could not have been better for the purposes of launching him from the status of unknown trooper to that of rumoured legend. The stormtrooper had arrived near afternoon and had soon departed alongside 1st section, at the time only known as 2nd section, towards the town of Vosbury, a known-about heretical settlement, where the squad was meant to investigate the large network of crypts underneath it. They encountered sacrificial pits, a witch and barely managed to get out in time once genestealers had shown their ugly faces.

The town was later enveloped by the flames of a magma bomb, Garrett barely managing to survive the blast alongside his squad leader by ducking down inside the badly damaged leman russ they had managed to scavenge.

The squad was then integrated alongside the former 1st section (now known as HQ) into an inquisitorial retinue, now also known as 1st section instead. Their next task: to help the sisters of battle assault across the trenchlines and into an important cathedral, where certain leaders of the genestealer cult were said to be nestled. In the meantime, Garrett struck up some small talk with HQ section's sister, Zia, growing slightly closer as he felt he finally had someone who could listen to his plight. Alexandros managed to survive the assault and then the descend into the cathedral from above, though once encountering the psyker lieutenant they were meant to assassinate, it let out a terrible screech, tossing Garrett backwards into a wall and leaving him dazed and confused, with a terrible headache while the rest of the squad managed to deal with the threat.

It was dark. Turning on the flashlight of his hotshot lasgun, he woke up in the middle of a crypt not too dissimilar from the one encountered under Vosbury. Initially convinced it were a dream, he tried to bang against the walls, slap himself, yet to no avail. Noticing the pain against his cheek to be more real than initially hoped, he kept moving through the tunnels, carefully, his way somewhat lit by a glimmer in the darkness. He followed after and eventually reached a large stone door, bearing markings and a rune which he seemed to have a somewhat faint semblance of from Vosbury. Moving closer to analyze them, his right hand was quickly drawn onto the rune, branding the palm of his hand painfully with the symbol. Attempting to remove the hand only made matters worse and once the doors were open, what was revealed before him was a winding hallway with sentinels on either side, inactive. The glimmer pointed forth, as a button was presented on a pedestal. In a moment of weakness, confusion or perhaps hoping it were the way out of the tunnels, he pressed it down, as the sentinels soon came to life without pilots. He started running away in terror, being struck once in the back as he did so, scorching a good wound on it, yet even so, he would manage to reach the inside of the Cathedral, out of the crypts, by pure luck. Alexandros immediately announced one of the sisters of what was happening, yet before managing to flee further to rendezvous with his squad, he was struck once more in the back and thrown face down onto the stone.

Surprised at the lack of immediate execution, Garrett was left rather dumbfounded, now having to be strapped to his bed, with the rest of his section mostly avoiding his presence either out of fear or disgust. All except Irke, ofcourse, who would, perhaps out of his innate ogryn naivity, approach Alexandros and have small talk and jokes regularly, sharing in the pleasure of reading comic books.

The squad would soon be sent onto the freezing hellhole of Tenebris, where Garrett encountered yet another strange event. He woke up. Water was dripping down onto his cheek, though thinking it to be Irke, he tried telling him to stop, atleast until he opened his eyes. Upon doing so, he saw a terrible sight: surrounded on all sides he was by terrible filth, rotten flesh, swarms of flies, that seemed to have rooted themselves in some ominous steel hallways that bore bulkheads every couple of steps, a few of them shut, though bearing teeth or disgusting tentacles and letting out harrowing screams whenever burnt by holy flame or struck by silver. Keeping a cool head, he would manage to make his way into what seemed to be a hangar bay of sorts, similarly corrupt. Upon trying to climb back out, the floor underneath seemed to give in, opening wide and showing the cool air of Tenebris below, aswell as its collossal expanse, sucking his body out alongside what seemed to be bombs filled with worms and rancid liquid.

He would soon wake up once more in a cold sweat. He was lying in the makeshift bed he had made in one of the landspeeders' trunk following the convoy, being not allowed to sleep inside the barracks. All seemed to be only a bad dream, atleast initially. His equipment was still in its place, yet his vision seemed to alert Inquisitior Syleen and soon proved itself to be a lot more real than initially thought, letting the two squads know of a major conflict between the plaguebearers of Nurgle and the bloodthirsters of Khorne.

After many skirmishes on Tenebris, including yet not limited to fighting Renegade Astartes and exploring necron tombs, 1st section was tasked with causing chaos in a T'au-controlled hive city. After planting a few bombs on granaries and failing to buy Irke and himself drinks exchanging ork rockets, they had set off towards a more occult church in the lesser controlled section of the city, where they encountered Imperium-esque statues and iconography. As everyone in the squad managed to fail to recognize these, though, they had started planting explosive charges onto them and onto the altar, lying in wait for until the pope and his acolytes were meant to arrive.

Upon arrival of the entirety of the church, Garrett dashed out from behind a pillar, firing a deafening boltgun shot into the air and demanding everyone to stand down in the name of the Emperor or else they would be smited. They immediately became hostile and Rylan, the squad leader, left the pope leg-less using a meltagun, as Garrett then started firing into the quickly assaulting acolytes, charging forth with their daggers. The charges had gone off, as an impressive size of the church immediately evaporated as the rest started collapsing down onto 1st section. With a hurried escape, they managed to get out and flee the city, fighting genestealer bikers along the way. Alexandros seemed to be a little struck by the event, though, the only time he felt some genuine guilt eliminating hostiles. They were not detestable mutants, heretics or xenos... they were imperials, however wrong they may have been...

The final assignment approached, infiltrating a high security fortress and exterminating the Magos of the cult, the most important member, the one who was able to spread the tentacles of the genestealers further onto other worlds. Getting in stealthily on foot, they snuck past corridors filled with turrets and guards, passed down death-mazes containing flamers and pressure plates at every step as they then arrived into the living quarters, a cantina to be exact. Alexandros' quick thinking lead to 1st section starting to dig into a specific wall in the freezer as his suspicion proved true: the freezer was linked to a coolant unit, which was then linked to ventilation. After a long trek through dangerous vents featuring numerous crushing traps and electrocuting wire, they managed to arrive inside of a chapel, whence they found a small genestealer egg. They destroyed it, thinking it to be important and too difficult to carry back to the Astraeus.

Approaching with swift and quiet steps, Garrett peeked over inside a large hexagonal room, noticing the magos aswell as numerous important genestealer figures and bodyguards inside. Silke's squad of krieger guardsmen had also arrived and with careful assaulting, they cleared out both sides and pushed inside, slaying the magos. A warp rift opened, though, sucking out the hunched over body of the bloated psyker, out of which numerous figures appeared. They were Renegade Astartes accompanying a larger figure. Soon afterwards, an additional rift appeared, Iotan Gorgonnes pouring out, lead by Spider, the retinue's mastermind hacker. With their help, the section fought against Daemon Prince Theorasdero Fateweaver, with Garrett himself finishing off one Astartes, before charging another with his Aeldari Honorblade, removing the vile being's arm and then head in two swift motions. The section was soon carried out by the rift that had lead the Gorgonnes inside, after Spider had banished the prince for eternity.

### 3. Journey to Terra and mental training

The entire journey to Terra was a rather harrowing concept for Alexandros at first, yet it soon simply cooled down onto yet another task meant to be completed for the good of Humanity as a whole. He proved to be worthy of using the power of his own mind as a weapon - or tool - of greatness, devoting some time to learning how to better combat daemons of the Warp.

### 4. Dealings in the Underworld

Soon after the travel to Holy Terra, Garret was then dispatched in underworlds, where he set up shady rings, gangs and black markets, which were carefully constructed and surveilled by the Inquisition. This is where his legend more or less grew, becoming an influential figure poking and prodding at criminal cartels, all the while building others up from scratch.

### 5. Second Deployment alongside 1st section

It had been two years since Garrett's initial development alongside 1st section. He was glad to meet back up with what remained of the rest of his squad - Phi-Phi, Lydia and Irke the Ogryn. The squad was sent to investigate a piece of necron debris from a battle happening near the gas giant of Zhamunda. They entered through a portal leading towards another ship in Zhamunda, yet as they did, Irke remained behind, fighting against hordes and hordes of daemons by his lonesome, though getting awfully wounded and battered. Seeing this, Garrett grew terribly disturbed, immediately turning around and stepping back through the portal, with flamer in hand and Lustrates in the other, dispensing justice upon the horrors of Tzeentch and executing a herald with a prayer and a devastating shot to the head. Soon after gathering the data they required, they left with the help of Lydia's Aquila Lander.
