Janred Remko Hynflaager
Janred Remko Hynflaager was an Astra Militarum High Field Marshal, who served in the Indomitus Crusade as part of Battle Group Kallides.[1]
Biography
The fifth son of a noble family, he joined the 56th Ghobyan Assault Guards of the Astra Militarum during his early career. There, Hynflaager served as a cadet on the staff of mid-ranking officers. Even at this age he had a noted grasp for tactics and committed swathes of the Tactica Imperium to memory.[1]
Serving in the 56th Ghobyan for 37 years, Hynflaager eventually rose to command the entire Regiment and during this time was involved in numerous rebellion suppressions and battles against Xenos. He earned the Imperial Medallion for commanding his Company in a successful assault on a traitor headquarters, which had withstood 8 months of siege on Diadok. After promotion to the Regiment's 17th Battalion, he orchestrated a defence on Bulwark IX during the height of Waaagh! Snakrat. There Hynflaager organised a strategy of feinting and rapid counter-attacks whilst fighting on the front.[1]
By the time of the Argovon Campaign he had been promoted high above the rank of Regimental Commander, and had an enormous tally of victories. The 56th (now known as Janred's Own) still served beside Hynflaager throughout this, though it had been forty years since he last had direct command of the Regiment.[1]
When Battle Group Kallides fought the Necrons in the Pariah Nexus, Hynflaager led Task Force XI during the Argovon Campaign. During the war he scored a number of impressive victories such as the Salvation of Langarus and the Third Purge of Areetes. During the campaign, he was ultimately slain.[1]
