Dohon "Shoggy" Domor[4] was a Guardsman of the Tanith First and Only.[1a]


Biography

Prior to enlisting in the Astra Militarum, Domor lived and worked in Tanith Attica as an apprentice engineer to a timber haulier.[1b]

He began his military career in the Tanith First as a Trooper, however he was trusted with specialised equipment - in particular he often served as a minesweeper.[1a][1b][1d]

He was picked to join Gaunt's team during the search for an ancient technological treasure on Menazoid Epsilon.[1c] During the mission Domor was wounded by shrapnel and lost his eyesight[1d], but was later fitted with the big, frog-like optical implants[2] which have given him him his nickname, 'Shoggy', after a bug-eyed amphibian native to Tanith.[3a][4] An excellent minesweeper specialist, Domor's abilities were only enhanced by his new augmetic eyes, which allow him to see over longer distances and scan for heat traces[3b], though they are vulnerable to water and will blind him if they get wet.[2]

By 771.M41, just prior to the Tanith deployment on Phantine, Domor had been promoted to the rank of Sergeant.[4]

Domor is also a talented leader, commanding Twelve Platoon which acted as Saint Sabbat's personal honour guard during the Battle of Civitas Beati on Herodor.[5] After the presumed loss of Ibram Gaunt during the Gereon mission and the merging of the Tanith First with the Belladon 81st Recon he was promoted to Captain and given command of K Company. During combat on Ancreon Sextus, Domor's eyes allowed him to detect an incoming Imperial airstrike which had been incompetently called down on top of friendly units, allowing him to warn the endangered men and save them.[6]

During the fierce battle for Hinzerhaus on Jago Domor took a mortal las-wound to the chest died twice whilst on the operating table, but was brought back both times and ultimately pulled through, using his expertise to help Major Baskevyl identify drawings of the Hinzerhaus power system which led to Baskevyl being able to restore power to the fortress and supply fresh weapons to the Tanith when they were running direly low on ammunition.[7]

During the mission to Salvation's Reach, Domor acted as sweeper specialist for one of the trap-disarming teams which led the way into the enemy station.[8] During the return journey, Domor was one of three people who discovered that the eagle stones recovered from the station had fallen into an inexplicably neat pattern when disturbed and was later questioned by the Inquisition over the incident, using his lip-reading skills to determine that Inquisitor Laksheema was keen to arrest Gol Kolea.[9] Later, in the undercroft of the Urdeshi palace, Domor fell into the reality-altering trap of a hidden woe machine but was led to safety by Ayatani Zweil.[10]

Domor has a long-running romance with his adjutant Chiria, a scarred Verghastite woman.[Needs Citation]
