'''Bligh''' is an [[Astra Militarum]] [[Imperial Guard Captain|Captain]] in the [[Cadian 2012th]] [[Regiment]], which is led by [[General]] [[Kvelter]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The [[Regiment]] was among the [[Imperial]] forces that unsuccessfully defended [[Lazulai]] from a [[Tyranid]] invasion. As the world began to fall to the [[Xenos]], after months of warfare, the [[Cadian 2012th]] were among the [[Regiment]]s based in the '''Cobalt Fortress''', which was under Kvelter's command. The Fortress was one of the last left on Lazulai and [[Major]] [[Wulf Khan]], of the [[Catachan CMIII]] which was stationed there as well, believed this was largely due to the General's efforts and skills. Bligh also aided in this and his actions led him to be considered a hero to his Regiment. This included leading the last combat patrol out of the Fortress. After the [[Tank]] column was attacked by the Tyranids, the wounded [[Imperial Guard Captain|Captain]] held the line so the surviving vehicles could retreat back into the safety of Cobalt's walls. He even carried three injured Guardsmen to safety, before escaping himself.
However as Lazulai was being consumed by the [[Tyranids]], cracks began showing between the '''Cobalt Fortress'''' [[Regiment]]s.{{Fn|1}}
This became an issue after Bligh took it upon himself to be responsible for delivering the '''Emperor's Judgement''' on wayward [[Guardsmen]], following the death of [[Commissar]] [[Schuto]]. Because of this, he later brought charges for infringement of discipline, breach of the disciplinary code and insubordination against the [[Catachan CMIII]] [[Guardsman]] [[Falke Adair]], for her actions during an attack on the '''Cobalt Fortress'''. Though her efforts prevented the [[Tyranids]] from breaching Cobalt's walls, Adair had disobeyed an order to stay at her post and cover a [[Cadian 2012th]] squadron. The squad was then attacked by the [[Xenos]] during the battle, which led to the deaths of [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Clay]] and the Guardsmen [[Dakor]], [[Vance]] and [[Colm]]. Bligh held Adair directly responsible for the loss of his men and was going to execute her, after finding the Catachan guilty of the charges he had brought against her. However, Adair's commanding officer, [[Major]] [[Wulf Khan]], was made aware of this by her orderly, [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Rutger Haruto]]. This allowed Khan to stop Bligh, just as he was going to kill Adair. After learning why her Guardsman was about to be executed, the Major fully agreed with Adair's actions during the battle. And even went so far as to say, she would have ordered Adair to do the samething. Bligh refused to relent, though, as he believed executing Adair would ensure the Cobalt Fortress' Guardsmen would maintain their discipline. The matter was finally ended, when the Major knocked the Captain out and ordered him to be taken to infirmary. While she had considered killing Bligh for his actions, she ultimately relented in doing so. However this was only due to the Captain's efforts against the Tyranids and that he was considered a hero to the [[Cadian 2012th]].{{Fn|1}}
Afterwards, [[Major]] [[Wulf Khan|Khan]] was ordered to meet with [[General]] [[Kvelter]], who informed her that an overwhelming force of [[Tyranids]] was heading towards the '''Cobalt Fortress'''. Due to this, [[Lord Commander]] [[Stone (Lord Commander)|Stone]] of [[Sector Command]], had ordered General Kvelter to send out a small force to retrieve a vital asset that was located far away from the Fortress. In order to ensure the best chance for the Major's success, though, the General would draw the Tyranids' attention by advancing towards '''Jasper Fortress'''. Kvelter would lead all of her surviving personnel in the attack, which included [[Imperial Guard Captain|Captain]] Bligh.{{Fn|1}}
