Larehnce Chenkyn was a Lord Commissar attached to the Mordian 84th Regiment, which served as part of the Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Secundus.[1]

At Fleet Secundus' muster, however, he became aware that several of the Mordian 84th's personnel were requisitioned for deployment with Fleet Septimus. This included Captain Brenner and the 446th Deltic Drakes Tempestus Scions, whose deployments to Septimus left no paper trail as to who gave the orders. When Chenkyn complained to the 84th's General, Geinst, about this, though, he was told to make allowances for the removal of Fleet Secundus' assets. The Lord Commissar did so, but rumors began to spread amongst the Regiment that the Fleet's forces were removed because Secundus' task of fighting its way towards the Eye of Terror was doomed. This eventually led Chenkyn to execute several of the 84th's Guardsmen in order to quell any dissension within the Regiment. However when the 84th's veteran 1st and 2nd Companies were removed by Fleet Septimus' command, the Lord Commissar began writing a message to Geinst to complain once more about the mysterious removals. He declared that Geinst's silence about the matter was unacceptable and that the Lord Commissar was going to act to stop this, since the General had chosen not to. Chenkyn explained that he had set into motion events to orchestrate a purge of elements intruding upon Fleet Secundus' organizational hierarchy and he expected to have Geinst's support in the matter. However Chenkyn never got the chance to confront the General, as the Lord's Commissar's efforts were uncovered by the masters of Fleet Septimus. He was later found assassinated, while still in the midst of writing the message to Geinst.[1]
