Ahmand was a Veteran Sergeant in the Imperial Fists Legion, during the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
He served in the 55th Company's 62nd Squad, that was assigned to the Tribune when the Imperial Fists Retribution Fleet fought in the Battle of Phall. When at the height of battle, Captain Polux ordered the seizing of the Iron Warriors vessel Contrador, only the 55th Company's Breacher Squads took part in the countering operation. The rest remained on the doomed flagship to inflict maximum losses to the attacker. The 62nd squad teleported to Contrador along with Alexis Polux and fought alongside the Captain. The Veteran Sergeant survived the Battle, although a report on this was only received and recorded by the Order of the Chroniclers many years later.[1]
On Ahmand's breacher shield you can see the sergeant's chevron, a red diamond in the center marking him a veteran. There is also numbering of the 62nd Squad. The symbol of double axes usually indicates a battle reward for the triumphant completion of the operation in the Mortalis zone, but was also often used at that time as a special sign of those who served with the famed Imperial Fists Seneschal Fafnir Rann. The red helmet shows that its owner is a Sergeant, and the white bar that he is a veteran. While the symbol on his forearm is used to mark the vanguard attack squads such as breachers.[1]
The Veteran Sergeant would later take part in the Battle for Terra.[2]
