Blood Ravens Force Commander
The Force Commander, also called Force Comander Hairgel or FC; was a newly promoted officer from de Bladh Ravens who is sent to the Aurelia sub-sector to help Davian Cool with a mess caused by the orks. Later he also has to fight some pesky Eldar, a splinter Hive fleet, a Black Legion warband (led by the supremely badasses Araghast and Eliphas) and the worst of them all: Imperial bureaucracy, whom even Angelos wishes good luck.
In all seriousness, despite his evident hairesy he is somewhat awesome, turning the tides of the campaigns with merely a handful of marines: a tactical squad, an assault squad, a devastator squad, some scouts and a badass dreadnought in “against all odds, success or death” missions, like assaulting a main hive with no support than a few guardsmen, defending a desert city of waves and waves of orks, assault, later defend, and then re-assault again the angel forge (twice!) against tyranids, orks, eldar and chaos space marines, and winning! Showing that, despite the odds, he gets the fucking shit done.
He es also a quiet dude and gives no fuck to running to the enemy shouting loud litanies, curses or anything; just run to the enemy. In fact in all the campaign he says NOTHING, even if he has an animated conversational portrait in the files, whitch isn't explains why he hasn't got a VO.
Like almost any squad in Chaos rising (save Thule, but he’s too awesome for that), he can turn to heresy with the tainted equipment and foul deeds. His luck depends of how corrupted he becomes. From the ranges of being ordered a 100-year long crusade of redemption, being smacked in the point with Gabe’s Godsplitter, or become a Chaos Lord; or merely being expelled buy the double-heretic Kyras, or being nominated as true successor of Thule and Captain of the fourth company.
You can name he as you wish. In the novels he was called Aramus, but because the book was written by a multi-fluff-raper, canonicity of that can be dealt whith the apropiate response
Dawn of War II
FC is the player in Dawn of War 2, so the plot of the game is also his story. What, you haven't played it? *BLAM* HERESY! GO TO FUCKING VIDYA-GAEM STORE AND BUY IT!
Long sory short, this is the begin of his history as a commander. The campaign itself starts pretty well. In Calderis he has to aid Davian Thule to protect the population for the Ork Waaagh, killing aforementioned orks by tons, rescuing his squad leaders, and do what marines are meant to do: show the enemies of the Emprah which color are their guts while they're still living. In this stage is when stange things started to happen, every one thought that were the Eldar, but Spike Spiegel Cyrus suspected that were something worse... too bad that he was right.
From that point shit hit the fan quickly. Tavian thule get poisoned and had to be interred in a Dreadnought, a cold bitch called Elena derosa seems to get the hot on FC each time he saves her planet's ass. An eldar bitch who seems who don't got laid in centuries tries to save her Craftworld by destroying your planets, Gabriel Angelos's ripping off the smurf plan of Tarsis Ultra to help you deal with the 'nids in Aurelia and LOTS of fluff-interesting (in my opinion) wargear. And pauldrons, fuck-hueg pauldrons all the time.
It ended in and awesome final battle who FC, his friends, Merrick, and some guardsmen had to poison the Hive fleet itself. After that they prepared for a final resistance, because FC's personal strike cruiser sacrified itself to cover the ground team and they had no place to retreat, so they went forth to destroy as many 'nids as the could; the heroic bastards. Lucky they, Gabe came just in time for save their bacon an all together destroyed the Hive Tyrant Alpha(think the Swarmlord and you'll get close) and put an end to the war (at least, for the Blood Ravens). This eraned him and his men the title of "Heroes of Typhon".
DAWN OF WAR II: CHAOS RISING
DAWN OF WAR II: RETRIBUTION
He doesn't appear in retribution, but he's mentioned in a piece of wargear called "The hammer of the Nameless", who is believed yo being the hammer who FC punched Ulkair's ass so hard to get the fuck back to the guts of Aurelia. Which is odd, because (until further invertigation) one of the best weapons to deal with Ulkair while being canonically pure is a Power sword.
Canon conflicts betwen the games and the novels
First say that the book was written by C.S. Goto, so canon is the gaem, not the book. With that said, let's show hay much rape has he delivered to canon. (Feel free to include all of those who I missed)
- In the books, he's from Meridian, wich is bullshit, because the only recruit taken from Meridian in centuries is Thaddeus, not him.
- It's also said that he's from the fifth company. Also bullshit, because even his initial armour shows the number of the fourth company. Take this with a grain of salt, becaue ALL the marines (even the multiplayer ones) shows the number of the fourth.
