WIP - Veteran Sergent Dorian

Veteran Sergent Dorian:

A plain speaking man who has elevated being difficult to kill to an art form. Dorian rates a man by how well he looks after his lizard, his kit and his ability to kill the enemy. Anything else can go hang - especially if it raises the ire of the Company Commissars.

Once on the way to becoming a Commissar himself, Dorian left the acadamy under mysterious circumstances and re-appeared as a Rough Rider sergent in a regiment raised from his homeworld.

Since then he has distinguished himself in several actions across the Imperium, building a reputation for no-nonsense leadership and the ability to 'get the job done' in the face of difficult odds.

His career has also been marked by frequent arguments with superiors that would have seen other men flogged, or worse, and the fact that no Commissar who learns his identity will have anything to do with him or his men.

Despite his Maverick methods and shady history, Dorian posesses an unshakable faith in the Emperor that would make a Canoness question her commitment. This, and his frequently demonstrated ability to achieve the impossible with few resources as led HQ to adopt a policy of 'asking' him to do things, and 'listening' to his alternative suggestions if he refuses their initial 'requests'.
