Dimitar Shiban
Dimitar "Dimi" Shiban was Hetman of the Clowns Company of the Geno Five-Two Chiliad, a division of the 670th Imperial Expedition Fleet, involved in the compliance of Nurth.[1a]
History
Shiban was a friend to both Peto Soneka, Hetman of Dancer company, and Hurtado Bronzi, Hetman of Joker company. He accompanied Bronzi in the transport of a strange corpse from Visages, narrowly avoiding a Nurthene surprise attack. Unfortunately, he and Bronzi were intercepted by an Alpha Legion Astartes, who gunned Shiban down.[1b]
It was later revealed that the Astartes' reasoning for the death of Hetman Shiban was due to a combat injury he received, where shrapnel left in his neck included bone fragments from Chaos-touched Nurthene locals. It was explained that these fragments had begun to affect Shiban's mind, and while sensible, this explanation still left doubt and suspicion in Soneka's heart.[1b]
