Baskevyl

Baskevyl is a major of the Tanith First-and-Only, an Astra Militarum regiment recruited partly from refugees of the Verghast hive world.Within the regiment, Baskevyl is depicted as a capable and even-tempered officer who advanced steadily through its command structure, eventually serving among the senior majors under Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt. Accounts of the regiment’s campaigning describe him taking on increasing administrative and tactical responsibility as the Tanith First’s original officer cadre was thinned by sustained combat losses, making him one of the figures relied upon to maintain cohesion between the regiment’s Tanith-born and Verghastite elements. He is also recorded as forming a domestic partnership with fellow Verghastite Tona Criid, sharing in the raising of children informally fostered within the regiment.
