Indrick Boreale
From Lexicanum
 |
Brother-Captain Indrick Boreale of the Blood Ravens was student of the famed Brother-Captain Gabriel Angelos and commander of 5 companies in the Kaurava Conflict in the game Dawn of War:Soulstorm. He was forced to battle fellow Imperial forces of the Sisters of Battle and the 252nd Conservator Regiment of the Imperial Guard due to conflicting orders and interest. In battle he favours a tactic known as Steel Rain which makes extensive use of drop pods to overwhelm and put pressure on the enemy. Because of this he doesn't make use of static defenses such as turrets.
If the Blood Ravens are victorious, they train up a new PDF to better protect the system, and after being cleared of allegations of heresy by the 1st Kronus Regiment from Dawn of War: Dark Crusade The chapter builds their own Fortress-Monastery Kaurava II and name it in honour of their commander. "Borealum"
He starts the campaign with a standard issue bolt pistol and chainsword but also has access to the master crafted power mace Rogal’s Fist and a Daemonhammer. He is able to upgrade his long range arsenal to either a plasma pistol or meltagun. 1
In the single player Campaign of Dawn of War II it is confirmed by Scout Sergeant Cyrus that the Kaurava campaign was a failure and that Indrick Boreale perished in battle during the failed defense of the Lands of Solitude. Cyrus says that "Kuarava was a huge mistake" and that he would not speak of it again. Nevertheless, Boreale does seem to have attained some level of prominence during his service, since several pieces of Wargear mention him specifically, most notably an Iron Halo that was intended to be presented to him upon his victory at Kaurava. 2
