Me outside of UD:

My name is Ryan, I am 23, I live in San Francisco and am a soon-to-be graduating History Major who is planning on going to grad school then law school (I know I know I'm a glutton for punishment).

My big emphasis in class is Pre-Christian Scandinavia, Britain, and Germany as well as the Viking Age along with medieval military and political history in general.

I am also an adherent of Asatru, short version is modern Norse Paganism, specifically of Odin. I like my beer dark, my meat bloody, my whiskey straight, my friends honest, my enemies stupid, and love my girlfriend dearly.

Psych Evaluation

Brother-Sergeant Loken is known for his exceptional devotion to duty and, for a Black Templar, an unusual sense of restraint in engaging the enemy preferring to lay down one prepared assault as opposed to a poorly-prepared string of attacks. Loken's sense of honor forbids him from engaging the enemy in less-than honorable means such as assassination and his extensive experience in combat with the forces of Chaos have hardened him sufficiently to be able to resist the lure of the Ruinous Powers. He has a driving desire to exceed all expectations when possible in combat making him a ferocious, if reckless, combatant.

Special Clearances

Brother-Sergeant Loken has been granted leave, assuming geneseed can be harvested and knowledgeable apothecaries found, to conduct training of new Astartes. He is also given brevet command of the 1st Fighting Company of the Malton Crusade, promotion to be made permanent if Castellan Uriel Tarit is determined to be dead and no higher-ranking Astartes found alive and active in the Hive.

+++Update Security Clearance Astartes Only+++

With the discovery of the lack of contact with other Black Templars in Hive Malton and the assumption that the rest of the unit is scattered and all senior officers dead, Garviel Loken is authorized the rank of Castellan of the Malton Crusade 1st Fighting Company, effective immediately and acting Marshal of the Malton Crusade.

+++Update Security Clearance Segmentum Command+++

By general assent of the other theater commanders Garviel Loken has been promoted to the rank of Lord General Militant in command of all Imperial forces in Hive Malton.

+++Update Security Clearance Segmentum Command+++

With the arrival of a non-Astartes to assume command Garviel Loken has stepped aside as Lord General Militant of the Imperium.
