Al'Ter-Ay
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Al'Ter-Ay was an Imperial Colonel of the Tallarn Desert Raiders.[1]
Due to his mismanagement and refusal to use Ork mercenaries during a campaign on Montar VII, Imperial Guard forces suffered a massive defeat at the Battle of Big Toof River.[1] Al'Ter-Ay was able to escape the catastrophe, but was dismissed from a command position and disgraced. Years later, he died in a suicidal charge against the Tyranids. His final words were that he wished to join his fallen brothers, whose ghosts haunted him.[2]
