Colour Sergeant Yewdar Herrigan

Background History
Yewdar like many of his world, started life as an Administatum scribe. Azin at the start of the last Armaggedon war was a peaceful (relatively) world dominated by scribes and adminastrators. Due in no small part to the fated redeployment of its system ships, Azin was invaded by Orks, beginning a long torturous war. The people of Azin were in no way preparered for the horrors of Ork occupation, but learned very quickly.

Yewdar spent the majority of his life in constant guerilla war against the green skinned invaders, rising quickly in the ranks of the newly formed resistance. Questionable things occured during this time, namely the use of unprescribed and censored weapons, and the mysterious death of some Astartes of the Black Templars. Regardless, when help finally came, Azin, like Yewdar had changed.

Unable to return to civilian life, Yewdar joined the newly formed Azin regiment, before earning his place in the Eyes Recon unit. Recently and under much secrecy, he and his unit have joined the entourage of Inquisitor Quist. Why, no-one knows.

Personality
Yewdar, as is typical of his people, has a very dangerous wit and sense of humour which sometimes gets him in trouble. Jaded with all but the most basic realities of life in the 41st Millenium, he is not religious and scorns blind faith as much as blind ignorance. While approachable and possessing an infectiously humerous contempt for death, his mood darkens around Space Marines. Trust comes hard from Yewdar, but when earned is solid.

The horrors of the Occupation are never discussed willingly, though Yewdar, as with his people, possesses a maverick regard towards commanders he doesn't respect. He prefers for his team to be left to their duty, unaided, though his duties often bring him into contact with other units, at least in support or reconnaisence roles.

Despite his sometimes crude misdemeaner, he is like his ilk, highly educated. Though this means he and his team possess superb initiative in the face of battle, sometimes it can rail against more hard lined commanders. ==Yewdar doesn't like Space Marines, especially the pious ones. Especially the Black Templars. Something happened on Azin.
