Your player character for the Imperial campaign(s), '''Admiral Spire''' was the captain of a [[Imperial Navy Light Cruiser|Dauntless Light Cruiser]] called in to investigate an Orbital Station that Sector High Command suddenly lost all contact with. Encountering the forces of the [[Chaos|Great Enemy]], Spire and his ships managed to get word to Sector High Command about the impending danger the Gothic Sector was about to face.

After a very intensive... ''job interview'' care of the Inquisition due to his origins (Spire was born of a world with a history of sedition), Spire was promoted by Lord Admiral Cornelius Von Ravensburg to Admiral, and tasked with defending the Gothic Sector against the forces of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. When Warp Storms isolate the sector, and the [[Fleets of Chaos]] [[Black Crusade|broke upon its worlds]], Spire rose to the challenge, and helped drive the Traitor forces back, though at great cost.

Given that the Gothic War lasted '''twenty years''', one can imagine that was a lot of work done.

In the wake of the [[Gothic War]], Admiral Spire led his ship in pursuit of Abaddon's retreating forces. Somewhere along the way he ran afoul of one of Abaddon's Chosen, Lord Ravager Devram Korda, and would have died had it not for the intervention of the [[Blood Angels]] fleet.

He recovered, and renewed his pursuit. Eight hundred years had passed since then, and what became of the Admiral was unclear...

...Until that is, when his [[Imperial Navy Cruiser|Lunar-class Cruiser]] manages to break out of the Warp, [[Age of the Dark Imperium|into a very VERY changed galaxy]].

With [[Cadia]] in ruins, and the [[Fleets of Chaos]] running roughshod over the Imperium in the wake of the birth of the [[Great Rift]], Spire is faced with the monumental task of rebuilding the Imperium's space fleets, and taking the fight back to its enemies.

In-game, Spire is characterized as soft-spoken, dutiful and loyal, he is very religious showing a lot of faith in the Emprah but also quite open-minded for an [[Imperial Navy]] man. He is willing to set aside racial enmities and ally with Xenos, if the end result ultimately benefits the Imperium. That said, his patience for BS does have its limits.
