Ox
Like most of the members of the 13th Penal Legion, much of Ox's early history and even his real name is lost or classified. Whether his nickname comes from his huge size, or his low IQ is also unknown (but both are likely). Originally an enlisted soldier in the Imperial Guard Ox's career came to an abrupt end when he murdered three officers with his bare hands in a drunken rage.[1]
Since joining the "Last Chancers" Ox has become the unlikely friend of 'Brains', and the two are almost inseparable. Ox tends to be very protective of Brains and should the latter ever fall during a mission it is likely that the simple-minded Ox may go into a berserk rage.[1]
A massive brute of a man, Ox is one of the few people known to be able to heft the weight of a support weapon such as a heavy bolter unaided. In addition to carrying such a massive, crew-served weapon by himself Ox also does not need a loader, preferring to carry his own ammo.[1]
