Konstantin Griffin is an Astra Militarum Colonel, who commanded the Brimlock 17th Dragoons during the Damocles Crusade against the T'au Empire.[1]

History

His Regiment was the first of the Imperium's forces to encounter the T'au Empire's Kroot allies, which occurred on Sy'l'Kell. As the Brimlock 17th Dragoons were in transit to the Imperium's front lines on the world, they were ambushed by the Kroot in a narrow forested defile. Three Kroot Kindred were involved in the attack and with surprise on their side, the Xenos were able to kill scores of the Dragoons' Guardsmen. Due to Colonel Griffin's and Commissar Eigerman's leadership, however, the 17th held together long enough to escape the Kroot's trap. The Xenos would continue to attack them, though, until the 17th were able to link up with the forces of the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter. The Kroot would then retreat after deeming the combined might of the Space Marines and Guardsmen to be too much for a direct confrontation.[1]
