Colaron Vor Artem Lo Bannick
Colaron Vor Artem Lo Bannick (sometimes known simply as Col[1b]) is a Lieutenant of the Imperial Guard's Paragonian Regiments.[2]
Biography
Colaron Bannick was the son of the Chief Auditor of Clan Bannick, one of the Clan Families of the sixth moon of Paragon VI. In 395.M41, he was betrothed to Kaithalar Beyn Lo Turannigen as part of an arranged marriage to tie his clan with Clan Turannigen. However, after Colaron killed his cousin Tuparillio in a duel, he joined the Guard to save his family disgrace (although his father still disowned him).[1c][1e]
He was part of the Guard's forces sent to fight the Orks of Waaagh! Gratzdakka, which had invaded the Kalidar System. He was assigned to the 3rd Company of the 42nd Paragon Tank Regiment.[1a]
Initially commanding the Leman Russ Battle Tank Indomitable Fury, his tank was destroyed on Kalidar IV in battle with Ork forces on the Kostoval Flats but in the process held off the greenskin forces long enough for Guard forces to withdraw. For this bravery Colaron was promoted and made Third Gunner of the Baneblade Mars Triumphant.[1d][1f]
During the ensuing battles on Kalidar IV, Mars Triumphant was destroyed but only after taking a Gargant with it. For this, he was promoted and given command of a new Baneblade, Cortein's Honour.[1g]

Conflicting sources
- At the start of Chapter 6 of the novel Baneblade, Colaron was stated to be his father's eldest son.[1c] However, in Chapter 9 of the same story, it is stated that Lazlo Kalligen was traded to Clan Bannick in exchange for Clan Kalligen receiving Colaron's older brother.[1f] It is possible that Colaron's brother was no longer counted as a relative after being given to Clan Kalligen, but this is speculation.
