Tiberius Donaldus Kannero

Captain Tiberius Donaldus Kannero - however more wider known as the Hero of Janus III; is an Imperial Guard Officer hailing from the Imperial Savannah world of Valen. Captain Kannero is the current acting Commanding officer of the 42nd Valen Rangers regiment and is considered by many in his home system to be nothing less than a living embodiment of Imperial pride and a symbol of Valen's role within the wider Imperium of Man. His most notable accomplishments involving the laying low of the greenskin Warboss Gutzskull Facespittah during his infamous last stand upon Kelthar Ridge during the First War for Janus III, known as the Miracle at Kelthar Ridge - in which he is considered to be one of the few reasons for the imperial victory on the planet.

Kannero himself however; in spite of his glorified and much emboldened history of military acts openly as a quiet yet approachable character, humble and soft spoken - a calm mask that thinly veils the fair share of horrors it had once witnessed over his extended lifespan within the Imperial Guard. Bearing the Honorifica Imperialis and the Medallion Crimson as a few Imperial honours of note, Captain Kannero is by a considerable margin - the most highly decorated living Guardsman from his home system.

Childhood
Tiberius Donaldus Kannero was born to a poor family within the rural counties of Valen - his Father, Gabriel Kannero was a PDF Enlistee and was often away from his family for extended periods of time in peacetime deployments. His mother by comparison was an Eccliesiarchal maid - tasked with tending to one of the local temples to the God-Emperor of Mankind. Such an upbringing was not uncommon, and furthermore had instilled a deep rooted faith within Kannero in the God-Emperor of Mankind, while his father, when he was available, proven to be particularly strict with the young boy. Teaching him a strict line of right and wrong, and further disciplining him as to discourage from attempting to probe those boundaries.

Growing up in the rural areas of the warm desert Savannah, the young Kannero was a quiet, shy and reclusive child, struggling to make any true friends while further retreating into his own thoughts, spending time instead diligently educating himself while involving himself in several extra vocational activities - most notably of which involved Martial arts akin to that of ancient Terran Karate however with further refined techniques along with it's own style of Hand-to-Hand Combat.
