General Harvax Scarus

Harvax Scarus is a General in Servan Dominate fight against the Imperium of Man on the planet Virbius and command of the 1st Kronus Regiment.

Background

General Scarus is severe-looking man with a bald head marked by a long, vicious scar. He is a veteran of countless battles, and his eyes reflect this, taking in a given combat with an expert sense of tactical awareness earned by decades of experience on the battlefield.[c]

On the quasi-feral world of Virbius, Servan Dominate troops have been beaten back the Imperial Guard in numerous engagements with what should be an inferior force. The Severan Dominate's General Harvax Scarus is the man responsible for a series of brutally effective lightning attacks on Imperial outposts and supply lines throughout the front, his forces using unknown weaponry and leaving no survivors. [1a]

The initial fighting did not go well for the Imperium. Entire platoons inexplicably lost contact on their way to the front, never to be heard from again. Numerous fall-back outposts and temporary headquarters were eliminated. The Imperium was not prepared for the Dominate forces to utilize such effective guerrilla tactics. According to Imperial intelligence, this was due to the tactical genius of General Scarus. What was expected to be a resounding Imperial victory instead quickly turned into a stalemate. The truth of the matter is that, completely unbeknownst to the Imperial army, the Severan Dominate is working with a kabal of Dark Eldar on the planet, and it is this xenos force that is responsible for the raids that are decimating the Imperial Guard forces on Virbius. The superior weaponry and maneuverability of the Children of Thorns Kabal of the Dark Eldar has made short work of the relatively spread-out Imperial battle formations.[1a]

General Scarus’s encampment is nestled near the peak of one of Virbius’s majestic mountains. It is a smallish affair, just a handful of buildings, but from this relatively humble headquarters General Scarus coordinates this entire front. The encampment is set on the ruins and remains of a far older base that pre-dates the fall of Virbius, which itself was built on top of a cave system that leads to the entrance of one of Virbius’s abandoned underground hives. At this hive entrance the Dark Eldar make their forbidding lair, ready to strike out at the enemies of the Severan Dominate in exchange for slaves and plunder.[1b]
