Your Space Bears army may include Sergeant Vortas.
Brother Vortas is now over nine hundred years old, and was one of the youngest to become a Grizzly, at the age of sixty-seven years old.
After being recruited at the age of 15 and spending 12 years in the Cubs, he joined the 6th company as a member of the second Bear Hind squad. After 10 years he moved into a Jaw squad, and after only thirty years was moved into the veteran company, where he discovered a special skill and liking to lightening claws. It was in his first action with the veteran company that the stories began to grow.
With 15 other Grizzlies that made up his Bear and 2 Librarians, Vortas was teleported down onto the planet Baast to help stop a rebellion of the planets governor. As it had been discovered that Genestealers had control of the governor it was decided that whilst a frontal assault was taking place by imperial guards supported by Space Bears, A complete bear of Grizzlies would teleport into the palace supported by 2 Librarians and would destroy any leaders it would find. After the palace was taken (the defense seemed to suddenly crumble, probably because the leaders had been killed) only Vortas was found to be alive but seriously wounded, with more than 20 pure strain genestealer bodies near him. Whilst Vortas was in surgery receiving a bionic arm for the one he had 'lost', the story of the Grizzly assault was pieced together from recording from the terminator suits.
After teleporting in and finding light opersition the bears split into two groups, one assault squad and one fire support squad with one librarian to each group and set off to search the building. It was the fire support squad that found the patriarch of the Genestealers and joined combat. By the time the assault squad arrive only the sergeant was live but the patriarch had been wounded. Battle was joined, with the librarian defeating the patriarch and magus but dying in the process, only Vortas was found alive but badly wounded. Vortas decided after he had been healed that he would keep his armour in the winter colours as a remembrance of his fallen brothers.
Since that time Vortas has been on many missions almost always armed with his Lightening Claws. When Vortas reached the age of five hundred years he started the cycle of sleep and waking for battle. Whilst he was asleep his armour was taken and used by other space marines, but each time the marine died the first time he wore it in combat, so after the third time no marine would use the armour of Sergeant Virtuo, so now the armour is kept in Sergeant Vortas sleeping cell, waiting to be used once more by its owner. The last time Vortas awoke and fought in battle is over 60 years, since then he has been asleep.
