He was no match for the Grand Inquisitor, and knew it, but hoped to spend his life bravely to slow the monster down so that his master or one of the other mystics could defeat him and restore sanity to the universe. Badly injured in the first second of his desperate attack, Bohrs was utterly unprepared for what happened next -- his master surrendered and begged for the life of both himself and his pupil, pledging that they woud both go into exile on Hasham.They would lie low, his master told him later on the ship taking them to the Vautaro homeworld, and someday return to take revenge, once Bohrs completed his training. Bohrs was only half-listening. He had heard the man who was supposed to teach him to be brave trembling in fear, and his belief in the man was shattered. He could not see prudence in this course, only cowardice. That night, as his mentor slept, he jury-rigged the launch of an escape pod and left the ship behind to continue the war on his own.He has fought alone, thwarting the Imperium in one small sector as best as he could, through all the decades since. At some point, he "obtained" a suit of Marine space armor that has both protected his identity and allowed him to take the fight to the enemy in fields of battle where they would never expect to face a mystic. Unfortunately, learning how to keep the technology in good operating order has taken up time that he might have used to improve his understanding of the Source, which would progress slowly enough without this hindrance due to his lack of a teacher. He might be able to find help if he allied with the rest of the Insurgency, but cannot bring himself to trust anyone else after his master failed him.Recently, the Metal Knight has learned that the shiny new super-troopers of the Imperium, the Scarlet Knights, are embarking on a mission to a planet in the Unclaimed Regions. He finds this bewildering, but recognizes an opportunity. If he were to follow him there, he might be able to challenge them in a place where they have limited access to reinforcements and support. Not a bad idea ... but possibly a dangerous one, as well.
