The Imperial Guard has been the back bone of the Imperium since the founding. Without them humanity would not stand a chance.
On the blood soaked sands of Tollus, Octavius Tullus found his calling. He was death incarnate. His power sword, electrical charge running up and down the blade, cut through his enemies with ease. Tullus was special. He was not one of the countless Imperial Guard, he was Elysian.
The men of Elysia are the best of the best. For them completing the mission is the only way of survival. Most Imperial Guardsmen are conscripts or raised on a planet that is specifically populated for the sole purpose of raising Imperial Guardsmen. Cadia is the perfect example. Located at the Eye of Terror, the Cadian Guardsmen are responsible for throwing back the forces of Chaos when they venture forth from the Eye. They grew up knowing that they have no name—only a number. They are cannon fodder.
The Elysian Drop Troops are specially trained to survive any encounter. They rely on the Imperial Navy to drop them behind enemy lines to sabotage, assassinate, and to generally disrupt any enemy, be it Orcs, Eldar, Heretics, or any of the varied enemies of humanity. Octavius Tullus has won his renown by being a ruthless killer. He has risen through the ranks from private to captain. He is the first in the fight and last to leave it. He has fought for the Emperor for 25 long years. His once fair face is now scarred and grizzled.
It was during a small excursion to destroy an ammo depot that Octavius Tullus earned had his beginning. The mission was routine nothing crazy. But his squad was ambushed. It was a valiant fight. His small squad was surrounded, the heavy bolter rounds exploding all around them keeping them pinned down while sniper fire picked off his men one by one. Soon there were only five. In a mad desperate gamble Tullus looked around. The bolter squad was reloading, he throw two frag grenades killing two and wounding several others. With a scream he charged the position gutting two with his powersword. He made quick work of the remaining man inside the heavy bolter emplacement. He turned the huge gun on the remaining ambushers. When the guns finally fell silent only Tullus remained.
