Hail to all Imperials here,

I am Murasaki, a Lord General of a multi-regiment battlegroup operating in Segmentum Solar. I hailed from a noble family on the Hive World Kyoto. During my youthful days before joining the Guard, I was train in the art of war and command. My first posting as a Colonel was to a Mordian Iron Guard Regiment stationed on some far flung world in the Segmentum Pacificus beset by heretical rebels and it was here on this planet that i distinguised myself in uniting and commanding the various guard regiments after my superior officer was killed. I was then promoted to the rank General and was given command of the remaining regiments to win the war and execute every single heretic rebels. It took me no less than a month of sieging the last Hive City full of rebels and winning the war. I was then send to Hydraphur for a good earned rest.

After 3 months of recuperating, I was given the command of a task force consisting three Mordian Iron Guard regiments given my decorative history with them. I was then tasked to assist a mysterious Inqusitor of the Ordo Hereticus to cleanse a shrine world of heretics. It seem that this particular shrine world will be where I distinguished myself yet again and promoted to the rank Lord General. The cleansing of the shrine world was to be no easy task as the heretics has a Adeptus Ministorum Cardinal hostage and was planning on using him as a sacrificial gift to summon whatever horrors of the warp. This was told to me personally by the Inqusitor himself. I was tasked in drawing the main bulk of heretics away from the location of the Cardinal so that the Inquisitor and his strike force will be able to save the Cardinal and prevent the herectic from summoning whatever they planned. In the intial landings on the Shrine World, I lost 15% of my force due to the heretics anti air defences. I deployed what remain of my task force and proceeded according to plan and was able to pre-occupied the heretics in an epic battle as the heretics outnumber my task force 5 to 1. The odds of number superiority wasn't in my favour but utilizing the layout of the battlefield to my advantage and the Mordians tenacity of effecient firing lines and their Iron Will turn the tide to my favour. As the heretics tried to penetrate the Mordian's firing lines and kill all of us, the Inquisitor and his Strike force manage to slip undetected by the heretics and successfully kill the heretics leader and save the cardinal in a nick of time. By the time the words of their leaders demise reached the heretics battle lines, 60% of the heretics have been either shot dead or bayoneted to death. A quick maneuver saw the remaining herectics surrounded by the Mordians and was swiftly put to the gun. Those that managed to escape were mercilessly hunted down by the Inquisitor Strike Force. The battle of the Shrine World was over with the exact loss of no more than 30 percent of the original task force. The Inquisitor commended my strategical mind for drawing many heretics away from the Cardinal position that allows the Inquisitor and his strike force to close in to the Cardinal position without any threat what-so-ever and this commendation was enough for high command to promote me to the rank of Lord General.

With my promotion to the rank Lord General, I was given the option to lead either a battlegroup or handpick my own battlegroup. I was surprised of the latter choice as normally I will be given command of any regiments the Departmento Munitorum assigned to me. So I decided to go ahead and choose which regiments were to be under my command as this was a golden opportunity. The regiments that were chosen were the 68th Mordian Regiment, the 81st Mordian Regiment, the 124th Mordian Armoured Regiment, the Catachan XX Regiment and the 250th Cadian Regiment. These regiments have come under my command once in some way before and I trust these Regiments as I trust the my faith to the Emperor. These chosen five regiments were to formed as my core of my battlegroup and as for the rest of my battlegroup, i just chose several regiments from Vostroya, Elysia and Vahalla. I now command about 13 regiments including the core 5.

From time to time, in any battlefield that requires my multi-regiment battlegroup strength, I will be transported to the location and unleash the Emperor's wrath and judgement unto the enemy. For the Guard is the Emperor's Hammer against his foes.
