Scheja
Scheja is a Colonel of the Imperial Guard. Previously commanding the Valhallan 28th, Scheja worked with Inquisitor Hector Rex as part of his personal retinue during the Judgement of Hellanus and his help was so valuable that he was quickly transferred from the ordinary colonel's position of the regiment to the upper ranks of the commanding structure of Imperial Guard, despite retaining his old rank. Later Scheja was seconded from his regiment and acted as the top intelligence officer in Otto Ivan Gustavus High Command staff during the Taros Campaign. Scheja was a Gustavus' spy-master amd had a greater degree of independence that other commanders of the campaign.[1a] When Imperial forces decided to ask the aid of the Officio Assassinorum, Colonel Scheja agreed with the main schedule and used top secret codes sent via a priority astro-telepathic message which requested an assassin agent to be deployed. As a result, the operation was successful - the enemy leader (T'au Ethereal Aun'Vre) and his command center were destroyed.[1b]
