Knight Commander Pask

Knight Commander Pask is Cadia's tank ace, the gunner who took over Hand of Steel after a Bonecruncha flattened his commander and then spent a career proving one Leman Russ is a theology if you aim it properly. He has killed Titans with battle cannon rounds and declined a Baneblade because the 423rd still uses Russes.

He missed the death of Cadia while fighting T'au, which is a shame he turned into the Steel Tithe: foreign crews drilled until they fight like Shock Troops. One account says he died in the last charge on the homeworld. The regiment that still bears his habits disagrees.

Pask does not need a parade. He needs the next weak join in somebody else's armour.
