[[Major]] Gol Kolea is a member of the [[Tanith First and Only]] [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]]. A survivor of the battle for [[Vervunhive]], Kolea's career in the service of the [[Imperium]] has taken him from civilian volunteer to [[Guardsman]], [[Sergeant|NCO]] and beyond.
A big, muscular man, it has been said of Gol Kolea that courage and determination ooze out of him like sweat; even Colonel-Commissar Gaunt has admitted that he would not like to get on the wrong side of the fierce ex-miner, a man who attacked a the [[Chaos]] [[Warlord]] [[Heritor Asphodel]] with nothing but an axe-rake and lived to tell the tale.
Gol Kolea was an ore-worker in the Deep Mining shafts of Vervunhive up until the [[Ferrozoica|Zoican]] invasion. 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]] Fencer. When this unit was overrun and destroyed, the survivors looked to Kolea for leadership. 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 into the objective area.
