Wison

Senior Imperial Guard officer, fought during the campaigns at Geonovian and Imaldus systems. Competent soldier and brilliant tactician, known for his effective command of imperial ground forces on Ixia.

Campaign at Geonovian Sector
Commander Wison’s regiment was assigned at the Geonovian sector, when it was hit by a Ork Waaagh! During fierce fighting, Wison earned a reputation of talented officer, which quickly provided him with an promotion to the captain’s rank. After few months, the Orks were defeated and Imperial forces defending the sector were relocated to garrison duty.

Storms of Ixia
Wison and his men arrived at Imaldus system, after massive Warp Storm driven their transport, frigate Raicia, off course. Captain was assigned (along with Wison's friend, Lord Commissar Cruchef) to led a lightly armed scout force to carry initial reconnaissance at Ixia, the main planet of the system. Upon landing, Guardsmen were attacked by Orks and forced to fall back through Ixia’s jungles towards Foundry Primaris, a massive industrial complex.

Before captain’s forces reached Foundry Primaris, he planned to infiltrate the facility and capture the sensor array to establish communication with Raicia. Along their way, Wison’s men found soldiers from other Astra Militarum units scattered upon landing and Wison eventually changed his plan and his strenghtened forces attacked the Foundry directly as it was held only by a small Ork force. Captain soon was able to establish communication with Raicia and other Imperial Guard units on the planet’s surface and main imperial base on Ixia was established in the ruins of Foundry Primaris. During this short period of respite, Wison's forces carried a daring rescue operation and many Imperial Guardsmen were freed from Ork captivity. Wison also ordered to extend imperial defences against Tyranid attacks, by blowing up every bridge (except one) over the river dividing the Foundry in half.

After Hive Fleet Charon arrived at Imladus system, the Tyranids carried a massive attack against Wison’s forces, which were forced out of Foundry Primaris. Captain Wison himself fled the Foundry at the very last moment onboard the Valkirie gunship. After the battle, Wison’s units were retreating towards positions of Imperial forces led by Freeblade Knight Munatius and Lord Commissar Cruchef. During the retreat, captain’s Valkirie was shot down, but Wison was evacuated once again. Wison’s forces eventually arrived at Munatius’ positions during Tyranid attack, and they took part in the final battle. Captain, along with the rest of Imperial forces, left Ixia through the Warp portals opened by Munatius’s artifact.
