Derin

Astra Militarum Portal Tanith First and Only

Derin was a Trooper of the Tanith First and Only regiment.^[1a][2]

Biography

One of the original Tanith members of the regiment, Derin was wounded in action on Hagia, during the fighting to retake the Holy Doctrinopolis from Pater Sin and his Infardi, after being shot in the chest by lasfire.^[1a]

Due to his injuries, Derin was later forced to remain in the Doctrinopolis rather than joining the honour guard sent to retrieve the remains of Saint Sabbat in preparation for the evacuation of Hagia. Derin's officer, Colonel Corbec, who was also among the wounded left in the city, had been experiencing visions of the Saint beckoning him to her resting place; when Corbec decided to take a Chimera and follow the visions, Derin was one of five Troopers who accompanied him on the journey.^[1b]
