Dermon Caffran[1c] (sometimes simply called "Caff"[1e]) was a Trooper of the Tanith First and Only[1a], serving in the regiment's Third Platoon under Major Elim Rawne.[3d]
Biography
Early Life
Prior to enlisting with the Astra Militarum, Caffran was betrothed to a woman named Laria, who was killed during the destruction of Tanith by the forces of Chaos.[2]
Sabbat Worlds Crusade
When the remains of the Tanith Regiments were combined to form the Tanith First and Only, Caffran initially served in Sergeant Orcha's squad.[3a]
While the regiment was deployed on Voltemand, they were ordered to breach Voltis City and open the way for the Royal Volpone 50th to take the main Chaos stronghold on the planet. While moving through an underground tunnel network, several members of Caffran's squad were killed, but Caffran managed to survive.[3a]
Following the pacification of Voltis City, the regiment was commanded to spearhead an expedition into the ruined city of Kosdorf. Caffran was part of an advance force sent by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt to scout Kosdorf while their armoured support awaited resupply. While scouting the ruined city, the force came under attack from corrupted PDF troops. As the vox was down, Caffran was given the dangerous task of making his way back to the Tanith main base alone to carry a message for reinforcements.[2]
In the assault on Caligula, Caffran was on a troop-ship which was shot down by a psychic storm over Nero Hive. Thanks to the leadership of Colonel-Commissar Gaunt, the survivors of the crash managed to reunite with the rest of the Crusade.[3b] He was later part of a Tanith detachment assigned to escort a supply convoy from Aurelian Hive to Hive Calphernia, manning the guns on a track-bike driven by Corporal Meryn.[3c]
Later Caffran was part of the team selected by Gaunt to accompany him on a secret mission on Menazoid Epsilon.[1d]
Appearance
As with many of the Tanith troopers, Caffran had a tattoo - in his case, a dragon rendered in blue ink on his temple.[1b]
