Churgeon Malcavor.

In war we memorialise and idolise those whom take lives in the defense of others or in the service of greater causes we deem just! The subject of today’s entry not only has taken many lives in service of the throne but also has saved many as well!

The Churgeon Malcavor started out his illustrious life in a relatively humble manner, he was born in the upper hives on hektari 2 to loving parents Mira and Calan. Born as the second child his childhood was spent as many in the upper start, a mixture of faith and what play can be found in places too serious for children. When he was five his older brother Jonas slipped on the stairs up to his family’s apartment falling down near fatally landing in front of malcavor and his mother on the hard brass of the stairs several flights below where he’d slipped. Malcavor watched in equal parts horror and fascination as an off duty medicae saved his sibling. This experience would have a profound experience on malcavor. But this was not the only life altering experience the youth would go through as before reaching adulthood a gang war from the underhive would spill over into the upper hives and he would witness his parents give their lives to defend him from a violent criminal before and enforcer would arrive to save him and his brother. Without parents they were taken in by the hive’s govenor and given the choice of a life of service in army, medicine or administration. Still traumatised by the violence of loosing their parents they both chose medicine.

Both boys would be trained in all the medical arts their minds could handle but as is the custom in system they were also trained in martial matters and Jonas would be assigned to a guard regiment as a medic while Malcavor would remain on hektarii 2 undergoing further training and the first of his medical augmentations earned through saving the life of a prominent nobleman whom had foolishly stepped into the path of a vehicle while absentmindedly talking with another noble. But his actions were a double edged sword as while he had been rewarded for his service by the noble he would later be tarnished by the noble’s actions when the noble was found to be embezzling funds and weapons meant for a pdf regiment to his own personal forces. As the noble’s allies and underlings were all punished or merged into other forces and houses Malcavor would be sent off to hektarii 3 to serve in it’s pdf as a prison medicae tending to labourers sent from hektarii 2 to work growing foods to feed the system. While this was intended as a punishment it also served as a gift as Malcavor had long sort to escape the political games of the nobles and experience an actual sky with his own eyes.

On hektarii 3 malcavor would earn his keep with the pdf and earn more medical cybernetic upgrades when he saved the life of a prisoner whom turned out to be both the governors son and in by mistake but in so doing malcavor would earn a reputation for being quick to anger among the prisoners when he lashed out with is medical cybernetic limbs that are mounted to his back when prisoners got too close as he worked often with fatal results for those foolish enough to get close. After this experience he would work to make prisoners as scared of him as possible so that he could do his work in peace under minimal guard as when in danger he found his mechanical extra limbs to be much quicker than slow witted troopers dulled by over exposure to agri chemicals and inaction.

When the orks came to Hektarii 3 his place of work would become one of the first battle grounds as a massive xenos filled asteroid would come crashing through the facility’s roof totalling much of it. Malcavor would prove his skill in a fight dispatching several xenos during his exodus from the facility under the order of it’s commander. As the pdf made to exit it would be malcavor who’d suggest to the commander to bring the prisoners with them as their labour may yet be needed and their numbers made for an effective shield if nothing else. Whether it was his words or unspoken contingency orders the prisoners would be herded into bulk troop conveyance vehicles that were normally intended to transport involuntary the labourers to other facilities or for discharge. The pdf’s troops would barely have time to coral the prisoners into the vehicles and get their own troop vehicles started when the orks started to fall upon them bursting through the main entrance into the motor hanger. The melee would only end when a pdf Carnadon rolled into position and fired indiscriminately into the direction of the doorway shredding everything ork and human in it’s path under a barrage of rapidly spat laser fire, allowing for the pdf to clean up the surviving attackers in the hanger and make an exit. With the roars of the xenos echoing through the facility behind them the pdf boarded the now started vehicles and started to leave their home of many years as drab and dirty as it was.

It did not take long for more orks to come spilling out of the facility behind them and they were barely on the bridge that connected the facility’s island to the mainland when the first bullets started to ricochet off the hulls of tanks. But it mattered not for across the bridge lay the mainland and most importantly a control station for the bridge that would allow the pdf to isolate the island. With the several kilometre bridge retracted the xenos would be trapped on the island, imprisoned their by the severely acidic sea that surrounded the prison and was the result of millennia of chemical runoff into the planet’s ocean from it’s numerous agri farms. The orks however were not done with the pdf yet as a hoard of them emerged from the now burning prison riding hideous wide mouthed beasts seeking to give chase to the humans seeking the safety of the mainland. With the xenos gaining Malcavor would join in with the pdf forces shooting at the xenos on their tail though the fire of a hand full of lasguns and light weight projectile weapons wouldn’t have much of an effect against the fast approaching enemy. That would change however as the pdf neared the end of the bridge as the road deck behind the bridge exploded in shrapnel as gun turrets guarding the bridge’s main land exit opened fire. The turrets had been placed their in the event the prison became overrun during a riot and while they lacked the power to do much to the bridge it’s self they did succeed in raining a mountain of razor wire and sharp fragments upon the bridge which proceeded to snare and injure both the xenos beasts and riders. As loud xenos roars echoed from the bridge the pdf exited the bridge and it’s collapse protocol was triggered causing the beasts to be drowned in and eaten alive by the highly acidic waters.

While the pdf and malcavor had made it to safety it would be short lived as the bright streaks of meteors would fill the sky promising more xenos filled asteroids in the near future. The war for hektari 3 had begun and though only being a churgeon and medic Malcavor would be drawn into it as his combat skills in the prison had caught the attention of his commanding officer whom would pass word up his chain of command which saw malcavor assigned to many front line combat operations and even saw him awarded with a bolter and a powered axe from the pdf’s armoury after he saved a mission of importance to hektari 3’s governor.
Malcavor would continue to earn much honor on the field and save many lives off the field as well. But his fate was not to remain on hektarii 3 as after forces from the neighbouring world arrived and crushed the xenos he would be permanently assigned to one of the regiments that had liberated their world along with the much of the pdf forces infantry and armour. The regiment which would come to be his new home would then be dispatched to hektari 5 to break an ork siege and purge the xenos’ military forces before being dispatched out of system to join the wider military operation in the sub sector known as the Verkandis Crusade. At Malcavor Quenn and the 903^rd are en-route to the liberation of Forgeworld Armoured Shell in the Pyranis system from an ork invasion, they will be joined by numerous other regiments including the Aquileia 70^th rifles, two companies of the World Shields Space Marine chapter, knights from house Banksia, returning forces of skitarii from Forgeworld Armoured Shell and a maniple of titans from Legio Echidna.
