Hey guy, The New Mandlord is back.
I'm planning to put two chapters out roughly around the same time. All depending on battery life and if I can keep my eye lids open long enough.
So with that said, enjoy.

Very little is known about Kain Osman's past, though from his medical records – and colorful nicknames – we can say that he came from the upper tundras of Tiberium. Like most faithful servants of the Imperium of Man, he joined the Imperial Guard at the age of eighteen, probably to serve his god-emperor and to get off world. From there he quickly rose up the ranks with every major campaign – the Helios Wars, Jericho Gap, and the Second War of Armageddon. At the rate he was going he would have easily made General and have a regiment of his own, but then it all changed.
It might have started with the extermination of Tiberium. Chaos cults had started to sprout up and cause serious damage, even going as far as assassinating the planetary oveners, also mix in a sizeable Necron tomb re-awakening in the southern waste and the Planetary Defenses too undermanned and underarmed to do anything about it. The Exterminatus seemed the most logical choice. After Tiberium's destruction, her regiments were interrogated for traces of herecy. Colonel Osman showed none at all, and it shocked us all when he, and the remaining Tiberium regiments deserted for the Tau Empire.
Around that time they were patrolling the Eastern Fringe, between Imperium and Tau space. The remaining forces of Tiberium were now under Colonel Osman's command. Their orders were to patrol our borders and rid the galaxy of any threat to the Imperium. Emperor's luck would have it that they successfully capture one of the xeno's heroes, Commander Farsight. It is still unknown what was said or what Farsight did to make him switch the way he did, but he sealed his fate as a heretic. By his command, he ordered the deaths of all of his commissars – which his soldiers eagerly obliged – and left their bodies in an escape pod; mainly to set an example by.
Just like he did with the Imperial Guard, Osman began to make a name for himself within the Tau Empire. He spear headed the fourth and fifth sphere expansions, and taking our most vital worlds away from the Imperium. His crown achievement was taking Macragge and insulting the Ultramarines to the verge of disbanding. No one saw it coming, weakened by constant fighting with Hive Fleet Gorgon and the countless splinter fleets of Behemoth, and spear too far and thin caused by the Black Crusades' left it weak and vulnerable. The entire planet fell under a day; the entire system fell under a week.
To this day we do not know why Osman fights for the Tau. Whether it is for vengeance for what happened to Tiberium, or him believing in their Greater Good, means little to us. What matters now is taking – alive if possible – to face the Emperor's justice.
For the Emperor.

Author's Notes:
Before you start flaming me or sending me negative comments, let me explain. You see we have been having some wicked weather in CT, and it is sorta hard to do complete, full length, thought provoking chapters ever Friday when there is no power and I'm stuck shoveling waist deep snow!
With that said, I feel like I owe you guys something, so these different Ordo files will be your reward. They'll go around to the different characters and give them some background information.
Aside from that, thank you for reading.
