Childhood
Lucius Hal, known as Torque to some, is the son of Tanda Hal, better known as Blur. He has no idea who his father was, he’s a Battleship brat, born to the fleet and to Imperial service. His mother is a famous voidfighter pilot, with scores of kills to her name against all kinds of enemy.
He inherited her skills behind a stick, skilled with all manner of small craft, but he never wanted to sign up for military service, he wanted to make a name for himself as a racer, make plenty of money and live fast and furious.
Fleeing the Navy
He jumped ship as soon as he was able, sneaking onto a supply ship and getting away off-world. Unfortunately for him, they’d sent out “recruiters” for the fleet as well, and he was picked up as a likely asset for the navy, without them even knowing who he was.
Pressed into Service
Once his skills came to light, he was pressed into military service, where it quickly became apparent that he was a born leader, and he was placed in charge of a voidfighter squadron, which was to make many kills in the upcoming crusade against the Eldar, but also take few losses compared to other squadrons.
More than once, he ended up on the operating table of Lupus Havelock, getting patched back together.
Missing in Action
He was never satisfied with his military career, no matter how well he did or how many honours he won. When the opportunity arose, after the devastating loss of the rest of his squadron, he ran, leaving the navy to assume his death, finding being recorded as “missing in action” preferable to more years of Imperial service.
