Lhurn Adare
Lhurn Adare[3f] was a Guardsman of the Tanith First and Only regiment.[1][2][3a]
Biography
On Sapiencia, Adare was part of a fire-team that tried to infiltrate the hive of Oskray Island One via a breach in the island's sea walls. The team was to have been led by Sergeant Gorley but he was killed in an artillery bombardment before he could make it inside the wall and so command of the mission fell to Trooper Caffran.[2]
By the time of the regiment's later deployment on Phantine, Adare had been promoted and now held the rank of Sergeant himself.[3a] On the night of his promotion, he and a number of other Tanith went a little overboard while celebrating and ended up getting extremely drunk.[3f]
While on Phantine, he was one of the sixteen Tanith Guardsmen selected personally by Colonel-Commissar Gaunt for participation in Operation Larisel[3b] and was given command of team Larisel 3. After Larisel 3 successfully infiltrated the Blood Pact-held city of Ouranberg[3d], they tried to make their way through the city by blending in with a work party of enslaved Imperial citizens.[3e] However, Troopers Milo and Nessa were separated from the group and, while looking for them, Specialist Cardinale was struck by a Blood Pact slaver with an electro-lash. This made him drop his aquila pendant and, when the slavers discovered it, they raised the alarm and unleashed cyber-mastiffs to track him down. Doyl and Adare were forced to break cover to save Cardinale from being mauled to death by the hate-dogs and this led to a firefight while they tried to get to safety. Ultimately, Doyl and Adare were cut down by loxatl mercenaries.[3e]
