Appearance

A powerful figure who dominates his surroundings with his presence. His skin is remarkably clear, and if he were a mere mortal his face would appear on many recruiting posters. When speaking to a group, he's constantly taking everyone in, even addressing lowly Guardsman. To be judged by his steely blue eyes is a terrible thing, but when he roars a rallying cry it is a powerful and uplifting thing to behold. He is not the fastest of his brothers, but moves and fights with a ruthless economy of muscle and motion.

Youth

Bohemond's upbringing took place on the world of Hydegate, a world of forgotten technologies, Knights and Sorcery. Shortly after his arrival on the world he as discovered by a band of Knight Errants who believed in the old Code of Knights on their world, a code strongly emphasized the importance of Justice, and would frequently state when the King's Law was brought up, that justice is not always law. Bohemond took quickly to the martial teaching of those Knights-Errant mastering blade work and marksmanship quickly, as well as the skill of riding.

The Coming of The Emperor

Largely ignored by society as a whole, he travelled far and wide trying to fill the hole in his soul until one night he set camp in the wilderness. A stranger approached Bohemond as he sat at his fire, and Bohemond bid the stranger sit. The stranger noted Bohemond was a warrior, and asked what Bohemond would do to bring justice to all humans. Bohemond laughed, assuming the stranger mean just the people of his planet, and said that he was trying to do just that but that he could only maintain justice with those within sight or under his sword. At this point the stranger began to shine in a brilliant light, revealing a power figure that was the Emperor of All Mankind.

The Emperor told Bohemond of the Primarchs, of the Imperium and of the Great Crusade to reunite humanity, and with every word that was spoken Bohemond's spirit was lifted and his soul was made whole for the first time. At last Bohemond had found his calling, to be a knight not just for himself but for all of humanity.
