Gol Kolea was an ore-worker in the Deep Mining shafts of Vervunhive up until the [[Zoican]] invasion.{{Fn|1b}} Trapped underground, Kolea discovered he was a natural leader when he managed to get the surviving miners up to the surface, where they fell in with a [[Vervun Primary]] Defence Unit under [[Captain]] [[Olin Fencer]].{{Fn|1c}} When this unit was overrun and destroyed, the survivors looked to Kolea for leadership.{{Fn|1d}} This "[[Scratch Company]]" would go on to play a very important role in ending the invasion, when it was selected to guide an elite Imperial Guard commando team infiltrating Asphodel's command vehicle.{{Fn|1e}}{{Fn|1a}}
Kolea has two children, [[Dalin Kolea|Dalin]] and [[Yoncy Kolea|Yoncy]], both of whom survived the Siege. However, he has no direct contact with them as their father, even though they accompany the Tanith regiment, Dalin in fact being a recently activated [[Guardsman]].{{Cite This}} The children were just toddlers when Vervunhive was destroyed, and were considered orphans by the authorities – their mother, '''[[Livy'''Kolea|Livy]], was killed during the war{{Fn|1a}}, and Gol was written off as dead; unknown to the Hive authorities, Kolea (believing his family was deceased) had enlisted in the Tanith Ghosts as a Sergeant{{Fn|1f}}. It was not until the [[Hagia]] campaign that Kolea learned that his children were still alive{{Fn|2a}}; he was not sure what to do at first, and eventually decided to leave them to be raised by their adoptive mother, [[Tona Criid]] without disrupting their world further by making his presence known.{{Fn|2b}}
Kolea had a hard time finding his heart again after the experiences he had during the Zoican Invasion, despite the best efforts of his scratch-company colleagues and [[Colonel]] [[Corbec]]. Kolea remained withdrawn and uncommunicative for almost a year, performing his duties perfectly, but hardly showing any emotion.{{Cite This}} Colonel Corbec eventually decided to twin Kolea's [[platoon]] with [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Varl]]'s.{{Cite This}} Shortly, as Corbec had hoped, the garrulous and witty Sgt. Varl finally managed to get Kolea to laugh, and the two quickly became fast friends.{{Cite This}}
