Pertinax was a Colonel of the Armageddon Ork Hunters. By the Third War for Armageddon, he was the commanding officer of Hell Town.[1]

During the war, the invading orks attacked Hell Town. In the course of the battle, Pertinax got into a heated dispute with Colonel Tannley-Drake of the Pyran Dragoons; Tannley-Drake was ordered by Pertinax to hold a perimeter position which the former viewed as suicidally weak. After the battle was over, Pertinax and Tannley-Drake argued vehemently with each other and the situation escalated to the point that the Pyran challenged the Ork Hunter to a duel.[1]
