Character Sheet
Forum name: Lord Harrab

Character name: Lady Commissar Sofia Whitehall

Commanding officer of: Regimental Political Officers

Background: Orginaly from a out of the way Hive world name Kursk, Sofia's Parents were conscripted into the gaurd when she was a little girl, left with her grandmother the only news she heard of her Mother and Father was when PDF troopers arrived at the door and took her to the Scholar in the planetary capital. There she learned that her perants had been slain fighting the Tyranid on some world who's name she couldn't pronounce, part of an artillery regiment, they had earned a commendation in their final action. Attacked on all sides by infiltrator beasts and with the main swam drawing closer by the moment, the morale of the regiment broke and they fled. Her perants, at this time Senior NCOs, they remained at their gun, just the two of them loading, aiming and firing until they were overrun. Through their erratic, but defiant action, their gun managed to slay a Hive trant threatening the Command staff and caused the swam to hesitate without the Hiveminds input long enough for the Imperial counterattack to break the assault. their corpses were found hour later, still at their gun, an empty shell in the breach and the gun pointed at the tattered remains of a carnifex scat feet from the muzzle.

This tale of her Progenitor's noble end has stayed with Sofia thorough her training at the scholar, and when she was earmarked for Commissar training she swore to inspire Imperial guard with such tales of bravery and punish cowardice, and her First imagined Regiment, The Elysian 222nd "Sky Angels" fought with her at the forefront of every combat drop. To the Surprise of many, she treated the Guardsmen under her eye like a School teacher to her students, stern and quick to punish those who did not toe the line, she was very protective of her gaurdswomen when Commissars from other Regiments tried to punish them on the occasions that members of the 222nd were involved in trouble-making with other Guardsmen. The fact that these other Political officer and Guardsmen were male, and often skeptical of a woman's ability  to fight only infuriate her further.  This dismissal flies in the face of the regiment's proud history, including the Invasion of Torian 3, where over ten thousand drop troopers were involved in retaking the world and the regiment took major casualties during the course of the campain. reciing praise from the Warmaster himself for their action. Unfortinatly, their glory days were soon to pass and the regiment was annihilated in a last stand action which Sofia barley survived. Once recovered she was promoted due to the report of her regiments unwavering resolve even as they fell.  She then served with a handful of other regiments, and a Warmaster's general Staff, her newest assignment was to be to a new Regiment, the 31st Thracian Infantry was in need of A Commissar, and the Lady Commissar Whitehall was deemed perfect to ensure that they do their duty, hold the line, and if necessary, die standing.
