Editing Horde of the Hated (section)

===Lord Hordemaster Gregorio Valua===
Nicknamed "The Iron Wall" Gregorio is supreme commander of the horde, and, whilst in the Starguard, was considered to be somewhat a Defensive Genius, knowing how to deploy his troops to minimize casualties to his own troops, whilst maximizing those of the enemies and defend his charge for the maximum amount of time. Although officially known as a humble man that does his duty to further humanity, in reality, Gregorio is a man that is totally dedicated to furthering his own ambition. Of becoming known as the greatest tactical genius that humanity has ever known. He wants future generations to visit a statue of him on Terra, that they will draw inspiration from. To this extent, he has used his sway as the leader of the horde, to request that the Horde be deployed to locations that would normally be unconscionable, such as their attempt to assist the Thunder Kings in breaking the Seige of Terra. After witnessing others that were vocal about their ambition to be much the same, that became the butt-end of many jokes among the officers, Gregorio decided to achieve this ambition through results only. That way, if he were to fail, then he could at least be remembered as a humble officer, rather than an ambitious fool.

In the Closing years of the Great Crusade, he was a General in the Haeltoth Starguard, specializing in Defensive tactics. Gregorio had grown up on the poor planet of Rakantha IV, a backwater planet near the Haeltoth sector, that a lot of the Imperium’s less desirables were sent, so he was used to having to accept help from Xenos, Mutants and Abhumans. When he was old enough, he joined the local Army, quickly raising to the rank of sergeant. During a battle with an encroaching Ork Waaagh! the army had been the first hit and suffered almost total losses, several platoons only surviving thanks to the intervention of the [[Haeltoth Starguard]]. Gregorio, himself had been leading a heavy weapons team that had kept the green tide at bay with a trio of heavy bolters and an autocannon. The remnants of the army were assimilated into the Starguard.

When the Horde was being organized, the Uryallan government sent out requests for officers to ensure loyalty in their ranks and efficiency in their results. Gregorio, seeing the chance to be put at the forefront of an entire army, volunteered. With his service record, he was made supreme commander.
