Ceglan Varl was a sergeant of the Tanith First and Only Imperial Guard regiment, serving in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade.

History

An original member of the regiment, starting out as a "dog-trooper," Varl was promoted to Sergeant in recognition of his ability and popularity. Something of a grifter as well as a joker, Varl is one of the more notorious members of a regiment whose members are known to regularly skirt the edge of adherence to regulations.^{[Needs Citation]}

Varl's presence in the thick of the Tanith counter-attack during the Fortis Binary campaign led to him receiving a serious wound to the shoulder; a lasgun bolt nearly atomised it, leaving his arm barely attached. He was fitted with an extensive cybernetic replacement for his entire shoulder joint at the campaign's conclusion.^[1a]

After his convalescence, Varl was promoted by the regiment's commander Ibram Gaunt to the rank of Sergeant. His first action thereafter was as part of the picked-man revenge squad put together to cause havoc amidst the Jantine Patricians regiment and recover Major Rawne, whom the Jantine had kidnapped.^[1b]

Appearance and Abilities

Varl sports a distinctive bionic shoulder implant (variously referred to as an augmetic or cybernetic) which has given him somewhat greater than normal strength in that arm. Given Varl's quick-thinking as a trooper and confidence as a sergeant, Gaunt mused that he should have noticed and promoted Varl sooner.^[1c]
