Something akin to the King James VI of Warhammer 40K, Indrick Boreale is the Force Commander of the Blood Ravens Space Marines in the Dawn of War: Soulstorm campaign. Infamous for his speech impediment and baldness (He's a 12.0 on the 10.0 scale of baldness) and also famous for losing half of the Blood Ravens' forces after he presumably got all 500 Space Marines killed on Kaurava (then toned down to 3 companies according to Cyrus in DoWII:CR). He is the origin of the memes Emprah and SPESS MEHREENS. According to Dawn of War II, he died in the Kaurava System during the events of Soulstorm, which some have interpreted as something of an apology from Relic for the terrible quality of his performance, or possibly an in-game bonus. He is such a big failure that he drives Cyrus crazy and pushes him to join chaos in one alternate plotline.
Comically, Boreale was actually a rather awesome sniper as a scout (he had a sniper rifle named "Cold Mercy", where he used it to stalk some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ heretic for 18 days before finally gave him the mercy he deserved), and he managed to do some good work before his promotion to Force Commander. His tragic career is the Peter Principle in action.
If he were victorious in the Kaurava campaign (which is non-canon), he will found a new Fortress-monastery in the Lands of Solitude, and rename the territory to "Borealum" in the Emprah's name (even though it's actually his own).
