Early Life
Born in a coastal village on Vatia to a family of fisherman he seemed destined for the same life but a series of tragedies steered his life in a way he never would have foreseen.

He lost his parents to disease in his early teens, leaving him and his siblings to take over their work. He continued this for 12 years- until one day in his 25th year that changed everything.

Traveling alone on a fishing trip lasting several days he returned home with a full hold but he found his village in flames, his remaining family dead and his fiancée missing.

Among the dead were Feral Orks telling him exactly what had happened. Wandering aimlessly in shock for several hours he would find his fiancée's body kilometers away, barely recognizable. He buried her in an unmarked grave dug with his knife before returning to do the same for his family and neighbors.

He headed to the nearest city, selling both his catch and his boat, earning him enough money to rent a small apartment in the shadow of a church- he found work there caring for orphans. He was fired when he was wrongly accused of theft and was left to wander the streets finding day labor.

As he wandered the streets one night with nowhere to go he was robbed and beaten, finding shelter in another church and being cared for by a sympathetic priest. When he told the priest he had no money to give him he replied "You need not repay me my son. Repay him who I serve."

Career
Ayezza took these words to heart- joining the Imperial Guard- hoping for an escape from troubles both physical and spiritual. He knew he would one day die in battle and would be with the people he loved.

Szerkasia
His first deployment took him to Szerkasia during Mukkrukka's invasion- the campaign was his first taste of combat.

Assigned to an equally inexperienced squad he and his fellow soldiers would get separated from their company during an Ork attack and the remaining 10 men would be forced to fend for themselves after their squad leader, the only one of them with any battlefield experience, vanished.

The next night A Szerkasian Valley Cat- a 600 pound beast not unlike a solid black Terran Smilodon came for them as it had for their leader. The beast attacked him in the dark leaving him barely enough time to warn the rest of the men before knocking him to the ground. He would bear 3 long scars across his face,caused by its claws, for the rest of his life.

The squad left their camp stumbling across a homestead early the next morning. The owner, a young Szerkasian woman had fortified her house the best she could and welcomed the presence of the soldiers. He quickly took charge of the situation doing what they could to add to the home's defenses.

He went for 2 days without sleep- keeping watch. The owner had recently lost her husband, she was forced to bury him on the property As both had suffered similar losses they found comfort in each other's arms that night.

An Ork warband passed by shortly afterward leaving him very little time to prepare for the attack. 12 people held off more than 75 Orks for hours, leaving the farm in ruins but leaving them alive by some miracle that Monzón credited to the Emperor.

His Squad would rejoin the 10th Corps passed by the next day. Despite earning a medal for his leadership he remained a common soldier, moved to an understrength squad.

Appearance,Personality and skills
He stood at 5'6" inches tall, keeping his long hair in a braid trailing past his shoulders.  He wore the claw scars on his face with pride, enjoying the attention they earned him.
