Lesp
Lesp was a medical orderly who served in the Tanith First and Only under Chief Medical Officer Tolin Dorden.[1][2]
Biography
Back on his homeworld, Lesp was a fisherman who lived in Tanith Longshore. This led him to develop a talent for knife- and needlework before he enlisted with the Astra Militarum, both of which served him well as one of Dorden's orderlies.[2]
In addition to his duties as an orderly and field medic, Lesp was also the foremost artist among the Tanith First when it came to the traditional Tanith tattoo markings that many Guardsmen of the regiment sported. As a result of his continual exposure to the inks used to draw Tanith tattoos, Lesp's fingertips were permanently stained dark blue.[1]
One of Lesp's most notable accomplishments in the field was saving the life of Trooper Feygor during the Third Zoican Storm of Vervunhive, performing an emergency tracheotomy with his Tanith knife after Feygor was shot in the throat by a Zoican las-round.[3]
