Markus was found to be a capable leader and an intelligent commander, but his natural disposition towards combat led to his assignment in the Storm Troopers, rather than joining the ranks of the Commissariat. Markus became known for his fine swordsmanship and abilities in close-combat, and many of his assignments became holding the line while the more ponderous Guardsmen caught up with the swift-moving Storm Troopers. His unit was typically assigned front-line duties, and the casualties were high. "Iron Will" Alexian, however, always made it out.<br/><br/>Alexian's shining moment came when he and his squadron were trapped inside an abandoned Imperial bunker in the path of an Orkish Waaagh! after their reinforcements were slowed down by an unexpected maneuver from the Warboss. Four days later, when the Guard finally managed to reach the bunker, they found piles of Orkish bodies, the bunker caved in on one side, and "Iron Will" Alexian in the door, chainsword in hand. Half of his squad was dead, the other half near-death, including Markus. To this day, however, "Alexian's Siege" is cited in the Storm Trooper Academy as a shining example of what the elite forces of the Guard should aspire to. He received several awards, including his master-crafted power sabre, "Everswift".<br/><br/><strong>Stats</strong>(45/45)<br/><br/>Health: 5 (+5)= 10<br/><br/>Attack:  6 (+4) = 10, (+1 vs Infantry)= 11, (+2 vs Vehicles)= 12<br/><br/>Ranged Attack: 0 (+4 vs Infantry, double damage to Defense)= 4, (+2 vs Vehicles, double damage to Defense)= 2<br/><br/>Accuracy: 5 (+3)= 8<br/><br/>Agility: 6 (+2+2)= 10<br/><br/>Intelligence: 6 (+3)= 9<br/><br/>Defense: 5 (+5)= 10<br/><br/>Perception: 5 (+3)= 8<br/><br/>Stealth: 3 (+3+5)= 11<br/><br/>Luck: 4<br/><br/><strong>War Gear:</strong><br/>Grav-chute (1) [+2 Agility, Deep Strike, no fall damage]<br/>Targeter (2) [+3 Accuracy, +3 Perception]<br/>Storm Trooper Carapace Armour (2) [+5 Defense, vox-caster]<br/>Storm Trooper Training (1) [+3 Intelligence, +3 Stealth, +2 Agility]<br/>Body Hardening (1) [+5 Health]<br/>Tank Hunter Training (3) [-3 Accuracy to enemy vehicles, 25% chance to instant-kill vehicles]<br/>Power Sword (4) [+4 Attack]<br/>Hot-Shot Laspistol (2) [+4 Ranged Attack, +2 against Vehicles]<br/>Reconnaissance Training (1) [+5 Stealth]<br/>Frag Grenades (2) [+2 Attack vs Vehicles]<br/>Krak Grenades (1) [+1 Attack vs Infantry]<br/>
