Lina Ozolinsh was born fifty-seven years after the colonisation of Avernus to a middle class family in Aridia. She was orphaned a mere two years later in Garkill's first waaagh when her parents were killed by stray artillary during the siege of Silver Lakes. Afterwards Lina Ozolinsh was raised by her fathers best friend, a police detective. She had what seemed to be a very normal childhood for the era, and like many of her peers enrolled in the PDF as soon as she reached adulthood. In the PDF her innate marksmanship soon got her a position as a sniper, a roll she flourished in.

Lina Ozolinsh's first real test came a mere dozen years after graduating boot camp, when the first daemonic incursion hit. In the Incursion she distinguished herself by sniping several deamonic champions, leading to her being recruited by the Helguard during the cult uprising that followed. She spent most of the next century in the Helguard acting as a sniper, though she did spend a tour of duty acting as an instructor in the Lindon Sniper School. It was during the Imperial Trust's first expansion that then Sergeant Ozolinsh's talents for command were recognized, and she found herself at the Avernus Officers Academy. Unsurprisingly the hundred and fifty year old veteran was near the top of her class in the Officers Academy, and after graduating quickly rose to the rank of major.

Over the next few centuries Lina Ozolinsh steadily climbed though the ranks of the Avernite military, until she was selected to replace Marshall Rakes as Marshal of Duet after his promotion to Marshal of the Helltroopers.

Marshal Lina Ozolinsh is a cold and practical woman, who sees little use for all but the most basic of social niceties and is willing to sacrifice her men without a flinch if required. Suposodly this was not always the case and was developed as a result of her time as a sniper, where she had to wait as her comrades died so she could line up her shot.
