[hider=Hope this is Ok][B]Name:[/b]Uriah Valondus 
[B]Age:[/b]189
[B]Legion:[/b]Ultramarines 
[B]Planet of Origin:[/b]Macragge
[B]Physical Description:[/b]
Uriah is tall and broad, an Astartes made of over 7 feet of muscle. His body and his face are both statuesque, looking as if it was chiseled from a skilled artisan to portray the classical experienced Space Marine commander. His brown hair is cropped short and his storm blue eyes are piercing. He dons a jagged scar over his left eye, though he is not blind in it. His armor is dented and scratched, but otherwise well maintained and obviously given excellent repairs. All in all, he is the epitome of a shining Astartes that has survived the worst and intend to keep on coming.   

[B]Skillset:[/b] Due to the lack of unspecialized units in the time before the end of the Heresy, Uriah is typically a 'jack of all trades' soldier, having skills in plasma and bolter weaponry, close combat experience, and tactical battlefield knowledge.

[B]History:[/b][INDENT] Born on Macragge, Uriah was trained from birth to be apart of the XIII Legion. He quickly showed promise with his abilities as both a combatant and soldier, eventually becoming a Sergeant. Due to the Ultramarine's Primarch Roubort Guilliman and his exceptional leadership, no other legion of the Astartes save the Luna Wolves conquered as many worlds as the XIII Legion, and Uriah was proud to be apart of it. 

He was at the forefront of The Great Crusade, following his Primarch and brothers into battle, liberating worlds from Ork Xenos and rebellious men who would defy their emperor. It was after a particularly nasty battle, won through his tactical brilliance that lead to the survival of his squad, that he was awarded the rank of Sergeant. 

During the Battle of Calth, Uriah was stationed under Captain Remus Ventanus and held the manor of a former Governor, joining with Captain Lyros Sydance and his Ultramarines. They defended the Palace against waves of traitorous Word Bearers until they used a Hammer/Anvil maneuver and decimated the advancing forces. Uriah was himself fortunate, for as the planet was being evacuated and his brethren were being lead into the tunnel systems below, he was picked up by a transport of his brothers and led into the atmosphere to fight another day and avoid the fate of the war of attrition against the Word Bearers beneath the planet's surface.   

[B]Psychological Profile:[/B]Uriah is very close to the Ultramarine ideal. He is loyal, charismatic, yet stoic. He genuinely cares for not only his brothers, but for the common Imperial citizen. Tactically intelligent, he is also somewhat driven by his feelings of honor and does his best to uphold the values of his Primarch and Emperor, using their examples as a code to follow behind. Despite his kind nature, he is a ruthless combatant and is merciless when dealing with traitors and Xenos, being more than happy to exterminate the enemies of the Emperor.
