Yorin

This page contains spoilers for: | Crusade (Novella) |
Yorin was the General of the Cadian 44th Heavy Infantry Regiment, which was charged with defending Kalides Prime's capital Dustrious.
However, sometime after the Great Rift's creation, the world was attacked by the Death Guard Plaguelord Morbidius, whose fleet easily destroyed the Imperial Navy warships protecting Kalides Prime. The Plaguelord's fleet then bombarded Dustrious, which wiped out most of the Regiment. Worse still, some of the Death Guard's ordnance had been laced with deadly contagions and those few Guardsmen that had managed to reach safety underground, re-emerged to a city that was now ridden with disease. Then the Warband of the Lord of Contagion Gurloch landed upon Dustrious and Yorin immediately led what remained of his Regiment against the Chaos invaders. Unfortunately, the diseases unleashed by the Death Guard not only sickened the Cadians, but also caused the capital's dead to rise as Poxwalkers, which fell upon the surprised Guardsmen. The Cadian 44th was soon overwhelmed and a thousand Guardsmen were killed by the Poxwalkers, including Yorin and the Regiment's upper command. Captain Dzansk became the Cadian 44th's only remaining officer and he quickly ordered the ragged remnants of the Regiment to retreat, in order to strike back against the Death Guard later.[1]
