Gael Harden
Gael Harden was a battle-scarred Veteran Sergeant in the Gilead 412th Gravediggers Regiment and has an intense hatred of Orks due to a brutal battle against them in her early days as a Guardsman. This hatred would later come to the fore when her Regiment took part in the Imperium's campaign against the Ork hordes of the Great Despot of Dregruk. Though that long and bloody campaign was ultimately succesful, Harden was left one of the few Gravediggers to survive. The Grave Diggers would later fight against a Rogue Psyker and during the battle, Harden saw a harrowing glimpse into the madness of the Warp. This would cause Harden to come to the Inquisition's attention and she was soon questioned by Interrogator Yyrmalla Aleretta. The Veteran Sergeant survived the unforgiving questioning and Aleretta vouched for Harden's well being, as well as claiming to see something of value in Harden's years of service and ability to stay alive despite facing desperate circumstances. This led the Sergeant to being recruited into the Inquisition and she would serve beside Aleretta for several months, before being released back to the Astra Militarum. When Aleretta was later ordered to serve in the small group of Imperial forces assigned to the Rogue Trader Jakel Varonius, she recommended Harden join as well. The Sergeant accepted and was reunited with Commissar Victoria Linn, who was also part of the group and had served with in the Imperial Guard years earlier. Discovering that the Commissar still lived, earned Victoria more of Harden's respect, though catching a glimpse of her out of the corner of the Sergeant's eye still puts Harden on edge. Harden and Varonius' Imperial group, are currently fighting numerous threats within the Gilead System.[1]
