Aldo Ware
Aldo Ware is an Imperial Navy Commodore-Captain, who commands both the Cardinal Class Heavy Cruiser Silvana's Martyrdom and the Odoacer System's defense fleet. In the wake of the Great Rift's creation, Odoacer was left isolated from the wider Imperium and Ware sent several of his ships into the Warp, in order to make contact with other Systems. Most of the ships did not return and those that did, were heavily corrupted; which forced Ware to order their destruction. This would cause the Commodore to stop sending ships out, but by then his actions had severely reduced the size of the the defense fleet. This led the surviving ships to be stretched to their limits dealing with the general upheaval striking the worlds of Odoacer, as well as the attacks of the System's pirates and raiders. Under Ware's leadership though and the tireless efforts of System Governor Eamon Odoacer continued to function. A year after the catastrophe though, the Martyrdom's Chief Astropath, Klemistos, warned Commodore Ware that he sensed a great threat would soon enter the System. Ware took Klemistos' warning seriously and after the Astropath gave the location the threat would come from, the Commodore split the defense fleet in two. The half led by Captain Keel's Exorcist Class Grand Cruiser Orlanda's Wrath, would go and guard the Cardinal World Almace, while Ware and the Martyrdom's half would go and confront the threat. Ware did not think highly of Keel's skills, but hoped the veteran Captain would be up to managing the fleet, should the worst happen. After the fleet split, Ware led his half to face the coming threat to Odoacer. Soon after they arrived there, however, a large Word Bearers fleet emerged from the Warp in front of Ware's forces. Though the invaders heavily outnumbered his fleet, Ware did not hesitate and soon gave the order to attack the Word Bearers.[1]
