Lukas Alexander
From Lexicanum
General Lukas Alexander was initially sent to Kronus by Segmentum Command to track down and capture Farseer Taldeer after her actions on Lorn V (as shown in Winter Assault). His forces landed in the abandoned city of Ironworks Bay, and found traces of ancient relics scattered across the planet, including the Hellstorm Cannon, a weapon from a Horus Heresy-era Imperator Titan, Aquila Ignis.
The city was renamed Victory Bay, and techpriests began excavating the massive Titan cannon. The Imperium then gave Lukas Alexander the title of "Governor-Militant" of Kronus, and tasked him with reconquering the planet for the Imperium from the Tau.

Background
Alexander formed the 1st Kronus Regiment, naming them "The Liberators", since his soldiers were fighting to free the humans who were living under the rule of the Tau. Unfortunately, his goals soon put him at direct odds with a Blood Ravens task force that arrived on Kronus soon after "The Liberators", trying to uncover mysteries about the chapter's past. The Blood Ravens are then ordered to purge the planet in order to ensure their findings remain secret. They warn Alexander to leave, but he is determined to follow through with his orders and push the other factions off Kronus.
Equipment
Alexander is initially equipped with power claws and a wrist-mounted bolter. As his campaign progresses, he eventually obtains a wrist-mounted Plasma pistol and Power Fists, as well as a full suit of Carapace Armour along with his Symbols of Office and optical implants.
