Gaken
Gaken is an Imperial Commissar.[1a]
He once served in an Astra Militarum Regiment that fought a battle with Tyranids and during that conflict, he was attached to Sergeant Plipton's squadron. As the battle progressed, Plipton's Company Commander ordered the Sergeant's squadron to hold a position that eventually drew the attention of a swarm of Gargoyles to them. Seeing this, Guardsman Cortias said that they should seek cover to avoid the Gargoyles and was immediately shot dead by Gaken. As the rest of Plipton's squadron stared at Cortias' body in shock, Gaken calmly asked if anyone else wanted to seek cover. Sergeant Plipton reluctantly replied that if they did not, then the Gargoyles would kill them. In response, Gaken calmly placed his boltgun's barrel to the side of Plipton's head and asked if the Sergeant was second guessing his Company Commander's orders. Plipton shakily said no and Gaken removed his boltgun and told the Sergeant's terrified squadron that they would hold their position, as the Gargoyles rapidly approached them.[1a]
Miraculously though, Gaken survived the battle and eventually rose to the rank of Lord Commissar and is currently serving with the Cadian 92nd ‘Firebrands’ Regiment.[1b]
