Foehn-Amicus: Reject. Vanguard. Redeemer.
Born on Incron, Foehn-Amicus would have lived a life of drudgery of a filtration worker had her life not been changed by the arrival of the Lunar Class Cruiser Tempest. Fresh from the Fringe War, the ship was in need of crew replenishment and Foehn was one of many to be press ganged into service upon the Tempest, the incident leaving her an orphan when her parents resisted. Alone and ripped away from home, Foehn found not much change in her life, simply trading the dragging of algae tanks to the lugging of munitions. But, fortune found Foehn and she caught the attention of a veteran voidsmen who found potential in her steely gaze. Trained alongside other aspirants, Foehn was inducted into the Voidsmen of the Tempest at the tender age of 17. It was here she honed her sense of command and discipline. She quickly rose through to a squad leader at only 23, an inspiring and imposing presence. Her life changed when the Tempest returned to Incron to restock. She had run afoul with a noble of moderate standing whom she assaulted after they had made a comment upon the Fringe War. The incident led to a charge of insubordination that saw her rank, and even place on the Tempest stripped away from her. She was picked up by the Tancred Bastion on route to a penal colony. Of course, this is what started her path to becoming a Reject. Though in the beginning she attempted to portray herself with the same aura of command as her service with the Voidsmen, she quickly found the hive of Tertium to be a much different battleground. The commanding presence painted her a target, to both the heretics looking to knock her lights out and a specific few of her fellow rejects. She found herself changing strategy, keeping her fellow rejects in the fight was more important than the minutia of how they did it. When she had finally cleared her name and officially joined Inquisitor Grenyl's warband, she was a unique kind of squad leader. Often she would slip into the shadows of the hive to either execute a priority target or give a hand to a fallen comrade, before leading the charge as the vanguard to her squad. Though some of her fellow veterans rib her for her straight laced tendencies, and she gets into more than a few fights with the preachers, Foehn-Amicus is both the blazing vanguard of the emperor and the helping hand to the martyrs of another day.
