===Ghost===
====Hagia====
Tona and the children survived the Siege, and Tona eagerly accepted [[Warmaster]] [[Macaroth]]'s [[Act of Consolation]] to the citizens of the devastated Vervunhive, to join the [[Imperial Guard]]{{Fn|2}} - on the condition that she be allowed to choose the Ghosts as her unit.{{Cite this}} She and Caffran adopted Dalin and Yoncy, who accompanied the Ghosts on their future campaigns.{{Fn|1g}}{{Fn|2}} Ironically, the children's real father, [[Gol Kolea]], had also joined the Ghosts as a [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]], but continued to believe that his entire family had been killed in the Siege{{Fn|1g}} until he saw Criid holding a pendant that contained their pictures.{{Fn|2}}
====Phantine====Following the regiment's actions in the retaking of the city of [[Cirenholm]], a combination of battlefield casualties and the pressing need to more fully integrate the Verghastite elements of the Tanith First led [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt|Gaunt]] and [[Commissar]] [[Viktor Hark|Hark]] to put forward a number of Verghastite Troopers for consideration for promotion. Gaunt suggested Criid, but Hark disagreed, citing that the pride of the men of Verghast may be damaged further by the perception that the Verghastite women were the best that they could offer, combined with the fact that a number of prominent Tanith holdouts still disliked the influx of women into the regiment.{{Fn|33a}}
[[Brin Milo]], as part of an infiltration team in [[Ouranberg]], reflected wryly that Criid was among the most attractive females among the Tanith First's new members, but the troopers considered her "out of bounds", even for their barrack-room banter, because of her fighting reputation and the strength of her relationship with Caffran.{{Fn|3b}}
====Aexe Cardinal====
However, after her squad leader, Kolea, was incapacitated during the final stages of fighting for Ouranberg, Gaunt promoted Criid to take his place.{{Fn|4}}
==Wargear==
As with some Tanith, Tona carried some personal additions to her wargear; in her case, she owned a [[vibro-blade]], given to her by her brother [[Nake Criid|Nake]].{{Fn|1d}}
