Bale Eye
The Bale Eye is part of the wargear of Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. It is an optical implant which also functions as a short-ranged laser, similar in effect to a laspistol at close range,[1][2] and is aimed with the help of a rangefinder.[5] It is rumoured within Ork camps that Yarrick could kill with a glance, and the Bale Eye is where this rumour came from.[3]
Other sources indicate that this rumor started shortly after Yarrick lead the successful defense of Hades Hive from Warboss Ugulhard's Waaagh! He lost his left eye during later campaigns and decided to play upon the orks' fears and incorporate a real "evil eye" into the implant.[4]
