Lt. Carter
1st Lieutenant Alex Carter (a.k.a. Taz)
Born in Tazmin Hive on Rhode within the Heraion Sector in 129M42. Her mother Corporal Lina Carter, a veteran of the Cadian 8th regiment and a recipient of the Ward of Cadia for her role in the final defensive of Cadia. Her father Sergeant Carter, is believed have been a veteran of a Catachan regiment. However, the details surrounding him are unclear.
From a young age she exhibited a rebellious streak inherited from her mother and the strength and unyielding toughness of her father. As a result, she fell in with the Cage Gang and became a car thief and enforcer. Following the death of her parents she was taken in under the wing of non-other than the ganger boss Cage himself. Falling deeper into the world of organised crime until her inevitable arrest in 147M42.
At this point she was interred at the Zimbab Penal Camp for six months before being transferred to the Rhode Penal Regiment. During this time, she had successfully disguised herself as a man, by drawing a rather stylish goatee on herself. So as to not attract the wrong kind of attention from other inmates or worse still the guards.
It was in the training camp where she met Gilliam 'Sarge' Bernardon, the two with relatively similar backgrounds hit it off becoming fast friends. Also, during this time due to a typical Administratum clerical error, Carter was assigned training both as squad heavy gunner and as a dog handler meeting Dingo. Together they were assigned to the 8th Rhode Airborne aka the ‘Bogan Brigade’.
The Bogan Brigade's first deployment was in 148M42 on Rhode, where they were assigned to assist in bringing the rabid Emü population under control. Two years later with the xenos population somewhat quashed with the exception of some isolated areas, they were reassigned to reinforce the Rhode Planetary Defense Force in the recent Acolytes of Lepidor chaos incursion.
Her role as second in command of the squad and the responsibility of taking care of Dingo taught her the vital leadership skills that gave her the sense of purpose she lacked as a youth. She even succeeded in taking an officer training course made the rank of Lieutenant. However, this was short lived and on 150M42, a Jr. Commissar assigned to her squad succumbed to the Ruinous Powers and murdered the then Corporal Dingo. The ensuing fight was brutal, the Traitor Commissar felled many innocent civilians and bystanders. But the brave Captain Bernardon lead the Bogan Brigade, Carter among them in a great last stand, which came to a head when finally, the cowardly Traitor Commissar detonated a virous bomb killing all members of the Bogan Brigade who were posthumously awarded the Golden Skull for their gallantry. The Officio Prefectus stripping the traitor of his title, wiping him from their records. After this she was reported as 'killed in action' on the Rhoden honour scrolls. This would become known as the Bogan Incident.
Rumours' circulating among the population of Rhode, suggest that the Ordo Malleus may have been involved in a cleanup operation after the explosion. However these are just the wild fantasies of the plebeians and have no basis in reality.
Following her recovery by members of the Adepta Sororitas and rehabilitation under the supervision of Hospitaller Lydia, she reluctantly entered the employ of Inquisitor Davrus and the Ordo Xenos in 152M42. Being assigned to Édafos, where she would investigate mysterious sightings of the Lesh of Édafos. Her particular set of skills and background making her the perfect candidate for the assignment, the Inquisitor arranging for her to be the 1st Lieutenant and commanding officer of the Fiann Hunter's. The third platoon of the surviving 25th Fiann Regiment, a world which was also destroyed by the Acolytes of Lepidor.
