Service Record
Pre Arkangel
Sgt. Viktor Jovanovski was a first born of Vostrya, an industrial planet in the Halo Zone of the Segmentum Obscurus. Being a first born meant that duty within the planets guard regiment was always to be Viktor's duty. Soon after reaching enlistment age, Viktor begun training in frozen landscapes and soot-covered cities of his home planet. As with the rest of his family, the affinity for explosives and heavy weapons soon led him to be assigned the generational resupply of the 1054th Regiment, "The Void Shrikes".
Soon it was time to depart, knowing it would most likely be the last he sees of Vostrya. He was one of the lucky ones, for his resupply ship made it to the designated regiment. Due to the nature of being void-based, and the lack of effective communication, it was often the case that supplies never reached the 1054th. With his heirloom rifle, and second-hand patched up armour, Viktor found himself on the front lines.
Void siege after void siege, ship raid after ship raid, Viktor's rotary cannon threw rounds down hallways, suppressing walls and devastating cover. His faith and resolve grew, and he eventually reached the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. In charge of a squad of weapon specialist, Viktor led the brave soldiers of Vostrya on various missions, including setting and arming of explosives, reinforcing flanks with heavy weaponry, and hunter-killer missions against high priority targets and vehicles.
Eventually, fate would have Viktor onboard the "Nocny Obrońca", a Orion Class Star Clipper. The void ship, transporting strike teams and heavy weapons of guardsmen, was to fly through a blockade, and provide the resources for a precision strike to cripple a major traitor base. Viktor was in charge of 4th Heavy Support Squad, 3rd Company, and inspecting the melta-charges being equipped by the squad when the first boarding craft hit. Soon, the fighting was spread across the void-craft. 4th Squad were holding a crucial junction leading to the life support system, when disaster struck. The warp drive of a friendly vessel went critical, after the failure of the defenders in stopping the boarding forces. Explosive shockwaves, followed by malignant warp energies tore their way through the ship. With barely enough time to put on their masks and seal their modified void armour, poisonous gases leaked from the failing life support as multiple breaches tore at the bulkheads around them.
The cold void and hostile warp tore at Viktor, and only as his vision faded did he feel metal mechanical arms drag him to the safety of a shuttle. Helped by Magos Biologus Lares, the two found themselves alone in the void, with no regiment or exploratory fleet behind them. Eventually, the decision was made to seek Arkangel Station. The Adeptus Administratum was already hard pressed to record all of the 1054th personal, so Viktor was most likely classed as MIA/presumed dead. The new found, poisonous, mutations would not help with reintegration anyway. And so, the two void wreck survivors found themselves over the orbit of Edyria, not knowing the impact they would soon have on the fate of the planet.

... soon also found himself at the attention of Lord-Captain Rexus. Drawn by the determination, faith, and military force of the house, Viktor accepted the invitation, and stepped once again into the bulwarks of a void craft, the Valhalla's Regards.
Hunt for Gygax
It was during the hunt for Gygax that the unthinkable happaned. During a stealth operation behind the enemy lines, Viktor was part of a team delivering a lander into a hostile base, that was acquired during a hostage rescue. After successfully sneaking out of the base, the team entered into a building that held the left over carnage of a battle. What appeard to be a higher ranking drukhari warrior, surrounded by dead mercaneries. Xenos drugs, weapons and stims were everywhere, and as the team started looking for evidence, something else caught Viktors attention. A wierd... sensation, coming from a hidden compartment on the dead Xenos armour. Feelings of salt water and air, that no one else sensed. It came from a mirror, with a wierd symbol. As soon as he touched, memories of [*DATA CLASSIFIED*].
It did not take long for the psykickly aware members of arkangel to notice. It wasn't long before they sensed the dangerously new energies coming from Viktor.
It happaned fast, and efficiently. Psykers gathered, tested, and consulted. Viktor was taught, the hazards explained. Warned of the otherworldy dangers he could not have possibly imagined. The promise of a fast demise if things started to go very wrong. This was not a threat, but a precaution. Bomb collar attached, and a dagger always close by. The awakening of his biomancy powers was bloody.

Rumours
- The warp-mutations sustained by the Vostryan aren't quite stable, and may even be increasing.
- The warp, the shifting flesh and dripping toxins. The powers are waking... growing?
- Might have TWO fuzzy hats. Quite literally unthinkable. Impossible, surely.
Quotes
- "Seems like a solid, dependable Guardsman. Happy to have him join the crew. Wait, what was that about mutations?" - Tomas J Rexuz
