Doyl
Doyl was a Scout[1] of the Tanith First and Only regiment.[1][2a]
Biography
When the First and Only were deployed in the Phantine theatre, Doyl was one of sixteen Tanith selected personally by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt to take part in Operation Larisel.[2b] Alongside Troopers Milo and Nessa and the Skyborne Specialist Cardinale, Doyl was assigned to team Larisel 3 under Sergeant Adare.[2c][2d]
After successfully infiltrating the Blood Pact-held city of Ouranberg[2d], Larisel 3 tried to make their way through the city by blending in with a work party of enslaved Imperial citizens.[2e] However, Milo and Nessa were separated from the group and, while looking for them, 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.[2e]
