Ar'gan
Ar'gan was a Space Marine of the Deathwatch, originally hailing from the Salamanders Chapter.[1]
Ar'gan was part of a Kill-Team led by Captain Polino that was sent to a Desert World contested between the Imperium and the Tau Empire. The kill-team found that the Kroot reinforcing the Tau soliders on the planet had developed traits indicating that they had undergone hybridisation with Tyranid genes; in an engagement with the hybrids, Polino was severely injured and Festaron was killed.[1]
Making their way back to their Thunderhawk to make a stand in a defenceable position, the kill-team was surrounded and attacked by the hybrids. Ar'gan was forced to defend the Thunderhawk with Vortan and Polino while Zaeus investigated an Adeptus Astartes signal emanating from nearby with hopes of bringing reinforcements. During the fighting, Polino succumbed to a sus-anic coma, while Ar'gan and Vortan holed up inside the Thunderhawk. Fortunately, Zaeus returned with a small army of Servitors that cleared out the majority of the hybrids with missile strikes.[1]
The surviving members of the kill-team were able to repair the Thunderhawk and extract themselves to report to Inquisitor Vaskiel, expecting that her response would be to subject the planet to Exterminatus.[1]
