Turning and standing to face Ruine, Karliel's face is a mixture of sadness and anger.

"It was the Emperor's Inquisition that tortured and killed my brother for no crime other than standing against a corrupt lord that had enslaved my people. His Angels of Death left my world to burn as xenos constructs rose from the ground and slaughtered us, using my people's skins as some kind of trophy. It was his holy Inquisition that ordered that my world be destroyed utterly when they deemed it not worth saving when we could have taken it back had they sent more men or had the Astartes stayed and helped us fight."

Tears now streaming down his face,

"I joined the Legions to fight for vengeance against the Xenos that I believed to be the cause of all my misery but the Imperium has done nothing for me other than grant even greater misery. For decades I fought the xenos and heretics, the remainder of my people and myself unleashing our wrath on people or creatures that had done nothing to us but we vented our wrath nonetheless. I was forced to torture my own men when the my commanding officer suspected treason within the ranks when there was none and he shot so many of my people when we begged to fall back to a better positions when we were being overrun for a useless position he got us into. So I shot him and fled, after 15 years of loyal service I became a murderer and deserter to save the lives of the rest of my unit from the onslaught of a xenos horde. So I took up the gun for hire seeing as no one would question the past of a mercenary but this line of work is no better than fighting in the Legions. I am done with serving the Emperor and I am done chasing the money of some rich bastards. I wish you the best of luck Ruine and to you Echo, but my time on the Imperial side is over. I fight for myself now and for vengeance."

He lets out a deep sigh, wiping the tears from his face before turning to back to Orion and reassuming his kneeling position in submission to his new master.
