Commander BrightswordChampion of the EnclavesT'au EmpireCommander Brightsword is one of the Eight, the elite battlesuit war-council of the Farsight Enclaves, and among the most aggressive close-combat commanders the T'au have ever fielded. Where the Fire Caste prizes distance and firepower, Brightsword closes with the foe and carves through the enemy with his fusion blades. Behind the name lies a strange secret, for the original Brightsword died long ago, and each warrior who has since borne the title is a clone grown by the Earth Caste scientist O'Vesa.

Commander LongstrikeTerror of T'rosT'au EmpireShas'la T'au Sha'ng, known to friend and foe alike as Longstrike, is the most celebrated tank ace the Fire Caste has ever produced. A prodigy from his first day at the controls of a Hammerhead, he earned his war-name amid the deserts of T'ros and has since felled targets as mighty as an Imperial Titan. Chosen to trial the experimental XV02 pilot battlesuit, he now fights fused to his gunship, yet still prefers to survey each battle with his own eyes from the cupola.
Commander ShadowsunThe Void ShadowT'au EmpireA celebrated battlesuit commander whose patient, calculating leadership has made her one of the empire's most trusted military minds.
Commissar YarrickThe Hero of ArmageddonAstra MilitarumCommissar Yarrick is the most celebrated political officer in the history of the Astra Militarum, an old and indomitable warrior whose name became synonymous with the defence of a beleaguered world against a green tide.

To the soldiers he led he was proof that faith and will could overcome even the most monstrous enemy.
Constantin ValdorFirst of the Ten ThousandAdeptus CustodesConstantin Valdor was the first and greatest of the Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor's own Companion and the founding Captain-General of the Legio Custodes. Bearing the storied Apollonian Spear, he stood at the Master of Mankind's side through the Unification of Terra, the Great Crusade and the horror of the Horus Heresy, the very embodiment of unwavering loyalty. His deeds shaped the Ten Thousand forever, yet his ultimate fate remains one of the Imperium's deepest mysteries.

CypherThe Fallen AngelChaos Space MarinesThe most enigmatic of all the Fallen Angels, Cypher is a shadow-wrapped gunslinger whose true name and purpose none can fathom. Bearing a sword he has never once drawn, he wanders the galaxy on a slow and secret pilgrimage toward Terra, though whether he means to damn the Emperor or beg His forgiveness, no one can say.
DarkstriderThe Outcast of the Fire CasteT'au EmpireDarkstrider, born El'Myamoto, is a maverick Fire Caste officer who has repeatedly refused promotion in order to remain among the Pathfinder cadres he loves. Ranked shas'el yet fighting from the front of the reconnaissance screen, he is a peerless tactician of ambush and improvisation whose disregard for protocol has won him as many enemies within his own caste as without. It was Darkstrider who unmasked and destroyed an Imperial Assassin sent to slay Commander Farsight.

Silent, enigmatic, and utterly without mercy, Drazhar is a mystery even to his own kind — a killing force whose origins and true nature are lost behind an impassive helm.
