Tribune Aquila Kaletor Endymion

Background
Born into the House Aquila, Endymion was trained from birth to fight in the Imperial Legions. While many of his peers sought to master personal combat skill and tactics, Endymion instead devoted himself to mastering his mind.

From an early age Endymion always saw himself more as a warrior-scholar rather than a simple warrior. He spent long hours in the libraries studying stratagems, tactics, and the philosophies of Old Earth, believing that knowing your opponent was the way to defeating him.

Methodically rising through the ranks of the Legions, Endymion's tactics were based more on observation, analysis, and execution, rather than the fire-and-brimstone way of many Aquila commanders. While not as charismatic or courageous as his peers, Endymion's pragmatism and cold logic got the job done.

His love of knowledge and philosophy has lead him to publish several book on tactics and strategy.

The Cleansing of Cygnus
During the latter stages of the Synth War, the Thunderbolt 13th took part in the cleaning of Cygnus. After the week long bombardment of the planet, the Legio was sent down to mob up the surviving Synths and their Cygnus masters.

Despite the world-shattering bombardment, the Legio still met heavy resistance from the remaining synth armies. The same armies which had once served House Aquila.

The Thunderbolt 13th suffered heavy casualties during the war waged across the blasted wasteland. Endymion lost many friends and family that day, leaving him with a hate for the Synths that he feels can never be quenched.

Current Assignment
After the end of the Synth War, House Aquila has been working hard to replenish the losses suffered during the war. New projects like the Limitanei and the Comitatenses were implemented as a means to fast replenish that which were lost. Endymion is currently assigned to recruit and train Limitanei across the frontier worlds in an effort to shore up defenses against possible threats now that House Aquila has been severely weakened by the Synth War.

While he has taken to this duty with his usual cold demeanor and determination, he silently laments his position, spending most of his off-duty hours either reading, or writing philosophy and notes on tactics.
