Troops of the 401st

+++REGISTRIES OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD+++
+++Soldiers of the Cadian 401st Armored Regiment+++
Tank Commander Morius Cummins
Age: 30
Homeworld: Cadia
A fairly young and relatively inexperienced tank commander, Morius was promoted to commander after his previous commander was shot down, allegedly by concealed Ork snipers, while retreating from the front lines. Morius' combined zeal and situational awareness had already impressed his senior officers, and were important for propelling him to the position of commander. It is with utmost glee and supreme confidence he commands his tanks and fellow crew to victory.
Unlike a lot of Imperial commanders, Morius sports a moustache of quite impressive size, which, combined with his peaked cap, gives him the appearance of a man who chooses form over function - an impression quickly compromised by the fact he commands a Leman Russ tank, where function trumps form in everything, as well as the unmistakable stains of grease and oil on his coat, clearly from helping his crew out. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty, and Perkins actually speculates Morius uses grease from somewhere on the tank as moustache wax.
After the fall of Cadia, Morius' faith in the Emperor remained strong. He knew better than to listen to the lies and slander of those claiming He had forsaken them, that it was only a matter of time before the Archenemy were at the gates of Holy Terra once again. Morius remained faithful, even without the commissar's aid, and as the heretics spread, he was all too happy to remind them - in ways sanctioned by regiment and commissar alike - of the Emperor's light.
Gunner Tallas Perkins
Age: 24
Homeworld: Cadia
Some people are more than happy to preach their faith, and to praise the Emperor with every breath. Tallas is not one of these people. He is quiet, withdrawn - and unshakable in battle. Deeply considerate of each shell he fires, he puts all his pride into not wasting ammunition, but instead making every shell cause maximum destruction. While he most enjoys himself with a Punisher turret at his command, he is a skilled shot with most common Leman Russ configurations.
Perkins is relatively skinny of build, and his gaunt face adds to his impression as a man who's been underfed for quite a while. He keeps his hair short-cut when possible, and rarely wears more than shirt and pants while within the tank - one might almost start thinking the fire in his eyes is just the reflection of some fire within him, a righteous zeal best expressed through wanton destruction of heretics.
As heresy and treason spread across Coronis Agathon, Tallas began displaying small signs of a more unhinged state of being, desiring to advance upon the foe and mow them down when tactically sound to do so. The commissar has yet to notice this, but when Morius confronted Tallas in private, Tallas reassured Morius with the following words: "The heretics say the Emperor has gone silent, that He no longer protects us from the Archenemy. They forget that He speaks through His guns, and my job is to spread His word."

Tank Driver: Keiran Molloy
Age: 46
Homeworld: Cadia
Keiran is a man who has grown rather number to the horrors of war. He has served in the Armored Regiment more than most guardsmen have gotten to live, and thus has seen his fair share of horrors. Keeping in line with this, the man has lost numerous commanders, fellow comrades and friends. And yet still he hasn't distanced himself from others all too much. A lighthearted man that does his job and does it well.
In his spare time, about 10 years ago, he decided to add a personal touch to the tank he had been serving in for so long. After losing it's first commander, he figured he would leave a shaped hole in the skull he had painted. Then another. Then a third. At this rate he might just have to start painting skulls in the literal sense. Still, what might've seemed like a twisted joke to some he looked upon with relative pride. "They'd like to be remembered serving on the line of duty, wouldn't they? The skull's the tank, the holes are the blows its endured. Lets see how many more it'll take before it actually goes down."

Tank Loader: Eurydice Ophelia
Age: 16
Homeworld: Cadia
A complete novice, thus granted the role of Loader. And even so, the young lady, for her age, appears oddly capable of handling the heavy rounds, feeding magazines to the sponsons or even handling the chassis-mounted lascannon when necessary, bolstering formidable strength for her small frame. Hailing as a mechanical officer from a mechanized chimera regiment, she has experience in field repair and maintaining the integrity of the various hardpoints of the tank.
Nevertheless, she is a reserved sort, not one to talk too much, nor share her worldly views. But in spite of this, she follows orders strictly and gets along with the rest just fine thus far.

Commander Ahil Zhevski +++DECEASED+++
Age: 67
Homeworld: Cadia
A veteran of numerous campaigns with more experience in tanks than many, the commander of a Leman Russ Executioner strives towards excellence on the battlefield. His blessed machine is capable of self-repair and bolsters increased armor protection without sacrificing speed. This elite officer is often tasked with training recruits, but when the need arose once more, he did not refuse the call of battle. His old age has been compensated for with a bionic eye which lets him keep up with the flow of battle. Enchanced hearing apartus does the job of enabling this man, who has more cannon shots than most have survived, further lets him stay in touch with other commanders.

Driver Aurius Pipedorf +++DECEASED+++
Age: 32
Homeworld: Cadia
A driver serving under Ahil for the past many years, this man has developed a decent bond with his commander and the two have braved many perils together. Even with the loss of other comrades, his faith in the Emperor remains firm and unyielding. Still, a quiet man that has perhaps seen his fair share of scarring horrors. Known to have served in a light regiment, ultimately destroyed under the attack of Red Corsair Chaos Space Marines before being reassigned under the 401st.
