Orson
Orson was a General of the Planetary Defence Forces of Quintus.[1a]
Biography
When Quintus was subjugated by an Alpha Legion warband led by the Daemon Prince Kernax Voldorius, Orson was amongst those in the Quintus PDF to surrender to the Traitor Marines and abandon the Imperium in favour of serving Voldorius.[1a] Orson was responsible for indoctrinating the planetary militia.[1b]
Later, the 3rd Companies of the White Scars and Raven Guard arrived to liberate Quintus. In the aftermath of the Space Marines' successful initial assault on Mankarra, Voldorius's militia officers turned on each other, trying to deflect the blame for the incident. As Lord Colonel Morkis pulled out a laspistol and starting gunning the others down, Orson tried to run but was shot as he fled.[1b]
